Short Term Accommodation in Adelaide

Para Ability Community Care (PACC) recognises just how vital it is to have time to rest, recharge, and explore new opportunities. We offer Short Term Accommodation in Adelaide (STA), including short term respite, as part of our tailored NDIS support services.

STA and short term respite offers a temporary stay away from home and can be a vital part of maintaining wellbeing for both participants and their carers. Whether you’re looking for a planned break, emergency accommodation, or the chance to try new experiences in a supported environment, STA can be a valuable and refreshing option.

Defining Short Term Accommodation

STA in Adelaide is a form of NDIS support services funding to offer people with disabilities a safe and supported place to stay for a short time, typically up to 14 days per instance, with a total of up to 28 days per year funded through the Core Supports budget in your NDIS support services plan. It’s considered a “reasonable and necessary” support if it helps you pursue your goals, maintain your current living arrangement, or build everyday independence.

More than just a place to sleep, STA is about respite, development, and connection. It gives participants a change of environment, offers opportunities to build independence and confidence, and provides informal carers with essential time to rest and reset.

If you’re unsure about your NDIS support services funding or how STA in Adelaide fits into your plan, the PACC team is happy to assist you. We can guide you through eligibility, booking, and making the most of your respite options.

Key features of STA with NDIS

STA is a highly flexible support that can be adapted to meet individual needs. Participants can choose to use their allocated time in ways that suit them, such as one weekend per month or two 14-day stays throughout the year.

Accommodation during short term respite includes personalised support, meals, and agreed-upon activities, all tailored to the participant’s goals and needs. While it’s often delivered in a group setting to encourage social engagement, individual support can also be arranged if it’s more appropriate for the participant’s situation.

It’s important to note that STA with NDIS isn’t a holiday—it’s about providing short-term support that meets a participant’s disability-related needs. That might include building daily living skills, trying new social or community activities, or simply enjoying a safe space with support staff on hand.

Who benefits from STA?

Short term accommodation in Adelaide is designed to benefit both participants and the people who support them. For participants, it’s a chance to experience a change of scenery, meet new people, and take part in engaging activities, all within a safe and supported environment. It can help to foster independence, improve social skills, and promote overall wellbeing.

For carers, short term respite provides a much-needed break from the demands of daily care. This time off can be essential for managing stress, preventing burnout, and sustaining long-term care arrangements, especially for family members who have been providing informal support over many years.
