Short Term Accommodation (STA)
Short-term respite to recharge, refocus, and support your recovery.
Sometimes resting properly means stepping away from your usual routine for a bit. A few nights somewhere calm, with the right support around you, can be enough to catch your breath, steady things, and come back to everyday life feeling a bit more like yourself.
Short Term Accommodation (STA), or respite, is a short, supported stay away from your usual routine. Staying in one of our welcoming shared homes with our team alongside you, is a chance to rest, take some time out, and keep working towards your recovery goals at your own pace, funded through your NDIS plan.
STA is also a break for the people who support you. When family and carers have a chance to rest too, everyone benefits, and you can all pick things back up with a little more in the reserve.
Who it’s for?
STA is for people who: • Have STA or respite funding in their NDIS plan • Are living with a psychosocial disability or complex mental health needs • Would value a short stay with support around them • Are comfortable staying in a shared home with others
Not sure whether this is the right fit? Reach out anyway. We’ll talk it through and help you find the support that suits you.
Where we offer STA
TeamHEALTH offers STA at shared homes across Darwin’s northern suburbs, welcoming, safe places to take some time out, with staff trained in mental health and trauma-informed care on hand throughout your stay.
