You’ll love having the flexibility to choose how to spend your day with plenty of options to get involved in activities, work on your independent living skills and connect with others.
What is short-term
accommodation?
Short-term accommodation is a support for when you need to live out of home for a short time. This could be to give carers a break from their caring role, known as ‘respite’, or it may help you out if your usual support network isn’t available for a short period. A short stay away from home also gives you a break, as well as the chance to try new things, make new friends or develop new skills.
What does short-term accommodation include?
- personal care
- food
- activities you and the provider agree to
- and of course accommodation.
Short-term accommodation
in your NDIS plan
The NDIS funds short-term accommodation under the Core Support category ‘Assistance with Daily Living’. Even though a quote is not required for the NDIS, The NDIS will decide if short-term accommodation is reasonable and necessary for you (and the amount of short-term accommodation funding you might get in your plan), depending on the level of support you require, the informal supports you have, your living situation and your goals. Examples could be:
- Someone with high support needs, whose informal supports (like a family member) need a break (respite care). This helps to make the informal support sustainable.
- Someone who wants to build their independence, so time away from their usual support network lets them work on their skills in a new environment.
- A young person with goals around increasing their community participation, who would benefit from attending a school holiday camp. This may also benefit their informal supports who may need to work during the school holidays.

tESTIMONIALS
Rachel Weldon
Jack had an awesome time on his recent 3 day STA with Renay at Moreton Island. The service provided to him by Renay was exceptional. He enjoyed all the activities, with the highlight being the ATV’s. I would highly recommend Careco Disability Supports to deliver this service and will be using them again in the future.
