Respite And Short Term Accommodation

Respite And Short Term Accommodation

What is Respite or STA?

Short Term Accommodation (STA), including respite, can provide support while you and the people who usually care for you have a short break from your usual arrangements. Depending on your needs, this may take place away from home or in your own home.

For NDIS-funded STA, the arrangement must meet the applicable funding requirements and reflect your approved plan. Its purpose is to maintain the disability support you need while helping sustain your usual caring arrangements.

Choice Support Tasmania provides Short Term Accommodation and respite options based on each participant’s needs, preferences and agreed funding arrangements.

A stay may include accommodation, support workers and access to basic amenities. Where meals, utilities or internet access form part of the arrangement, ask us to explain what is included and any separate charges.
Food and meals cannot be paid for from NDIS STA funding.

We aim to provide a welcoming and respectful stay that fits your routines. Contact us to discuss suitability, current availability and a clear breakdown of the support and costs before booking.

Emergency Respite

Emergency Respite

If your usual support arrangements change unexpectedly, contact us to discuss Emergency Respite. We need to check your support needs, accommodation, staffing and funding before confirming whether we can help. Availability and response times depend on the situation. NDIS STA does not replace crisis accommodation. For a medical emergency or immediate danger, call 000.

Why Choose Choice Support Tasmania?

Why Choose Choice Support Tasmania? image
A planned break should reflect your routines and the support you need while your usual arrangements change. Discuss what would make the stay comfortable, including communication preferences, personal assistance, chosen activities and relevant instructions from your treating team.

Before making a booking, clarify the setting, dates, staffing, agreed tasks and costs. Ask which parts of the arrangement relate to disability support and which expenses you will pay separately. This gives you and the people who usually support you a clear handover.

Contact Choice with your preferred dates and support needs to discuss suitability and current availability. Our enquiry process does not confirm emergency accommodation or funding; these arrangements need to be checked before a stay is agreed.
