Short-term Accommodation
Time Away From Your Usual Home

STA usually covers up to 28 days a year and includes your accommodation, meals and support during the stay. Cardinal Care runs welcoming, fully supported homes in Brisbane and Hobart.

How is STA and Respite funded under the NDIS?
STA and respite is funded under your Core Supports budget, within Assistance with Daily Life.
What does STA and Respite cover?
