NDIS Short Term and Medium Term Accommodation

Short Term Accommodation (STA), funded under the NDIS, provides respite stays to individuals away from their primary carers, allowing them to relax and recharge.

At Aspire Hub, our STA houses are located in vibrant communities close to amenities, local attractions, and recreational activities, making it easy to enjoy everything you love most during your short period stay

More than just accommodation, our personalised support team will make it feel like your home away from home. During your stay, enjoy the choice to join a range of activities such as Footy Weekend, Explorer Weekend, and Food Trail – all designed around your needs.

What is the difference between Short Term and Medium Term Accommodation?

Short Term Accommodation (STA) is a type of NDIS supports and housing package designed to support you being away from home for a short period of time, giving your carers a short break from their caring role.

The NDIS usually funds up to 28 days of STA in a year, meaning you’ve got the flexibility to pick and choose when you want to use this type of accommodation and make use of the short term accommodation funding. Your options are limitless – use it in a 14-day block, or pick and choose certain weekends of the year instead.

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is for anyone who needs a place to stay while waiting for a long-term housing solution, such as home modifications or a SDA build. This type of NDIS housing is usually funded for up to 90 days a year. Unlike STA, MTA only funds the accommodation and does not include supports. Get in touch with us if you require MTA options.

“My name is Valerie and I live with a brain injury as a result of a Brain Bleed about 18 months ago, Like a lot of people, the only people who are able to care for me ongoing is my husband. I guess you value your independence (at your peril at times). The biggest problem I can see is something that I am aware of called Carer Fatigue/Burnout. Believe me when I say, it is real and unfortunately for most Carers, goes unrecognised or supported. Thankfully, we were able to get in touch with Aspire Hub (and John) and that contact has changed our everyday markedly, we don’t feel like we are unsupported and have taken advantage of the opportunity to have a break from our everyday. I have just completed my first 4 day respite and I have to say I am warmly impressed at the care, attention to detail, the lovely home we stayed in and every step of the way, being 100% supported. Honestly, I cannot wait for my next respite. The carers are awesome, kind, thoughtful, considerate and read your needs so well. it is refreshing to experience such a positive and ”can do” attitude.”
