Short Term Accomodation and Assistance

Respite, also known as Short Term Accommodation & Assistance (STA) is a great way for family or carers to take a short break from their daily routine.

STA SERVICES

Reliable, flexible support when you need it most

Through this service you are able to access emergency accommodation during those times when you may require temporary supports that are different from your usual arrangements.

Respite enables you to achieve independence and achieve your goals in a supported environment.

Whilst there are many reasons for seeking STA, the service is designed to assist you and those who support you.

Respite can assist with unexpected emergencies, housing gaps, transitional periods or allowing primary caregivers and people with a disability the time to temporarily focus on other responsibilities.
