Short Term Accommodation
A break for you. A break for your family.
What is STA / Respite?
STA provides funded accommodation and support for up to 14 days at a time (and up to 28 days per year in total). It is designed to give participants a positive experience away from home while also providing relief for families and informal carers.
Together in Motion Services's STA options are warm, welcoming and genuinely enjoyable — not just a place to stay. We focus on activities, connection and fun, so participants come home having had a great time.
We can arrange STA in our own accommodation options or help coordinate stays in other registered STA providers, depending on your location and preferences.
Is this support right for me?
This support may be right for you if:
- You want a short break away from your usual home
- Your family or carer needs temporary relief from their caring role
- You would like to try new activities and meet new people
- You have STA funding in your NDIS plan
- You are an NDIS participant of any age
