How long can a stay be?

The NDIS usually funds Short Term Accommodation for up to 28 days a year, and you can use those days in the way that works best for your family. Some people book a block of up to 14 days at a time, while others prefer one weekend a month. We'll plan your stays around the funding in your plan.

Where do stays happen?

It depends on what suits you. That might be your own home, with a support worker staying overnight, or another comfortable setting close by. We'll talk through your routines and what matters to your family before we book anything.

What's included in a stay?

Your stay includes support with the everyday things you'd usually need help with, like showering, cooking and personal care, along with your accommodation. Short Term Accommodation funding doesn't cover things like holiday packages, food and meals or tickets to events, so we'll be clear with you about any costs before your stay.

How do I book a stay?

Give us a call on 1300 009 010 or fill out our contact form, and we'll chat about what you need. If you work with a support coordinator, they can also send us a referral through our referral form. Getting in touch early gives us time to plan a stay that suits you.

Refreshing Breaks with NDIS Respite Care

NDIS respite care and accommodation are designed to give carers a well-deserved break while their loved ones with disabilities keep receiving continuous, quality support. Whether it's a few hours to recharge or a longer period for more extended support, our respite services offer comfortable short-term stays with the added benefit of a change of scenery. It’s also a chance to engage with different people and activities, promoting independence and social skills.

Discover how our flexible respite options can support the wellbeing and balance of your whole family, strengthening relationships and promoting independence for everyone involved.
