What are the NDIS short term accommodation options in Brisbane?

Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 Queenslanders lives with a disability? With so many people needing the right support, it’s important that accessible and high-quality accommodation options are available — especially for short breaks and respite care.

In this guide, we’ll explain what NDIS Short Term Accommodation (STA) is, what’s included, how it can help, and where to find it in Brisbane.

What is NDIS Short Term Accommodation?

Short Term Accommodation (STA) is temporary housing for people with a disability who need to live away from home for a short period. It’s often used as respite, giving both the participant and their carer a chance to relax, recharge, and take a break.

Your NDIS plan may cover:

• Personal care

• Accommodation

• Meals

• Community or recreational activities

STA isn’t just about having a place to stay — it’s about meaningful experiences, building confidence, and improving wellbeing.

Why Use STA?

If you’re eligible for STA in your NDIS plan, there are plenty of benefits for both participants and carers:

• A chance for carers to take a short break

• New experiences and skill-building for participants

• Opportunities to meet new people and explore the community

• A supportive, fun, and safe environment

At Aspire Hub, every stay is tailored to suit you. We organise themed weekends like Footy Getaways, Explorer Trips, and Food Trails, depending on your interests and goals.

What’s Included in STA?

NDIS Short Term Accommodation in Brisbane includes more than just a bed. Aspire Hub provides:

• Personal care, like help with showering, dressing, and medication

• Meals and snacks tailored to your preferences

• Fun and engaging activities that match your interests

• Support with personal development and building independence

We’re with you every step of the way. If you’re unsure what your NDIS plan covers, just reach out — we’re always happy to help.

Can STA Be Used for a Holiday?

STA is not intended for holidays. Instead, it’s designed to support your goals and provide short breaks that improve your wellbeing or help carers recharge.

To be approved by the NDIS, your STA stay should:

• Help you build independence

• Support your personal goals

• Encourage participation in your community

• Be reasonable and good value for money

How Long Can You Stay?

NDIS generally funds up to 28 days of STA per year. You can use this time flexibly – for example:

• A weekend each month

• One or two weeks at a time

• Several short stays throughout the year

You and your provider can choose what works best for your needs.
