Our NDIS Short Term Accommodation is ideal for:
Short Term Accommodation (STA)
Safe, Structured and Fully Supported NDIS Respite
Everything feels different when you know your loved one is safe.
Our Short Term Accommodation offers NDIS-funded respite in a calm, professionally supported home environment where dignity, stability and comfort come first. Whether families need time to recharge or participants are exploring Supported Independent Living, we provide structured short stays designed to feel secure, comfortable and reassuring.
What Is Short Term Accommodation?
Short Term Accommodation, often referred to as respite care under the NDIS, is temporary supported accommodation that includes:
- 24/7 experienced support workers
- Assistance with daily living and personal care
- Medication management
- Nutritious meals
- Structured routines
- Community access where appropriate
STA can be used for overnight stays, weekends or up to 14 days at a time in line with NDIS guidelines.
It is not simply a place to stay. It is a fully supported environment where participants are cared for respectfully and families can step back with confidence.
Who is STA designed for?
Families needing temporary respite
Participants exploring Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Individuals transitioning between housing
Adults building independence skills
Participants with moderate to high support needs
Whether the stay is short or part of a longer-term plan, our team ensures the experience is structured and supportive.
A calm and carefully managed home
At A-Okay Care, our STA homes are intentionally designed to feel welcoming and stable, never clinical or chaotic.
Each home offers:
- Comfortable private bedrooms
- Shared spaces that feel warm and relaxed
- Safe, well-maintained environments
- Professional, consistent staffing
- Clear routines that reduce stress and uncertainty
We maintain low-capacity homes to protect the calm dynamic that participants need to feel at ease.
We match people, not just beds
Even for short stays, compatibility matters.
Before confirming a booking, we carefully consider:
- Support needs and daily routines
- Communication styles
- Social preferences
- Sensory considerations
- Existing household dynamics
We do not introduce participants into environments that may feel overwhelming or unsuitable. Our goal is always stability, comfort and smooth shared living from the very beginning.
What a stay looks like
Every day is predictable and thoughtfully managed.
Mornings are supported calmly, with assistance tailored to individual routines. Shared meals are enjoyed in a relaxed environment. Activities are structured but flexible, encouraging engagement without pressure. Evenings focus on wind-down routines that promote comfort and security.
Participants are never left uncertain about what comes next. Clear communication and consistent staffing create an atmosphere of trust and stability.
Because we’re family-led, we understand how important trust is. Our approach is steady, thoughtful and centred around real relationships — not just service delivery.
Our goal is simple: to help you live in a way that feels safe, supported and truly your own.
For families
We understand how much trust it takes to step back, even temporarily.
Our experienced support team provides:
- Clear communication before and during the stay
- Consistent staffing wherever possible
- Transparent updates
- Respectful, person-centred care at all times
Families tell us the difference is not just in the service itself, but in the feeling of reassurance that comes with it.
Considering a future move to Supported Independent Living?
For many participants, STA becomes a gentle introduction to Supported Independent Living (SIL).
A short stay can:
- Build confidence in shared living
- Allow participants to experience structured support
- Help families assess compatibility
- Provide a gradual transition into long-term SIL accommodation
We approach every STA stay with the same professionalism and care as our permanent supported housing.
