You can stay up to 14 days, as underlined by the NDIA. There are short one or two-night stays available or more ongoing options that may suit your requirements. Sunnyfield’s Short Term Accommodation services can also be utilised as a transition into Supported Independent Living if you’re exploring permanent living options.

Short Term Accommodation is NDIS funded. This funding is listed under core supports in the support category Assistance with Daily Life. We are also able to provide Short Term accommodation at Fee-for-Service based on a support ratio of 1:3.

Under the NDIS, Short Term Accommodation, also known as respite, is a short stay in a residential home shared with other guests for up to 14 days. Set in a home environment, you’ll receive support from qualified staff with your daily routines and activities, develop new skills, meet others, and try new things.

Short Term Accommodation provides an opportunity for carers and residents to enjoy a break from their usual routines in a supportive out-of-homestay environment for people with disability. The NDIA guideline for an STA is up to 14 days.
