Short Term Accommodation (STA) & NDIS Respite Support
Tautua Support Services offers Short Term Accommodation (STA), commonly known as NDIS respite support, for participants who need a supportive place to stay for short periods. Our STA supports promote choice, confidence, and independence while providing structured daily living assistance in safe, comfortable accommodation. Supports are delivered in line with individual NDIS plans to help participants recharge, practise daily living skills, and maintain routine.
What is Short Term Accommodation (STA)?
Respite and STA is support for when you may need to live out of home for a short period of time. Short Term Accommodation Funding can be used for respite to support you and your Informal Support Network.
This gives your Informal Support Network a short break from their caring role and provides you with the opportunity to partake in our awesome programs.
Tautua's Respite Service provide NDIS Participants and their Informal Support Networks a safe alternative of accommodation for a much-needed break.
