“Caring for a loved one with disability is rewarding — but it’s also exhausting. What happens when carers need a break? That’s where respite comes in. In this video, we explore how ViCare Services offers respite homes under the NDIS — how they work, who they help, and how to access them.”

What Is “Respite” (Short-Term Accommodation) under NDIS?

Under the NDIS, what many people call “respite care” is formally known as Short Term Accommodation (STA) / Short Term Accommodation & Assistance (including respite).

STA allows NDIS participants to temporarily stay away from their usual home — from a few nights to 14 days (in many cases) — while receiving support, care, accommodation, meals, and planned activities.

The goal is dual: (a) give the usual carers a break; (b) offer participants opportunities to build skills, socialise, try new routines, and gain independence in a safe environment

Typically, NDIS funding allows up to 28 days of STA per year (though it is often used in blocks of up to 14 days) — but it depends on your plan and needs.

Who Is ViCare, and What Do They Offer?

: ViCare Support Services is an NDIS-registered provider offering a variety of
support services (e.g. support coordination, occupational therapy).
: As of now, their publicly stated services focus on supports like Support
Coordination, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, Gardening, Home
Maintenance.

If ViCare offers respite homes FARM STAYS , those homes would likely follow the standard NDIS STA model: a residential-style home, staffed 24/7, with supports tailored to each participant’s needs, meals, personal care, activities, etc.
