  2. INTRODUCTION As the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) continues to evolve, significant changes are taking place regarding Short Term Accommodation (STA) policies. These updates, designed to improve clarity and support for participants and their carers, aim to enhance the overall experience within the NDIS framework. Understanding these changes is essential for participants and their families to effectively navigate the new landscape of short term accommodation in Adelaide.

  3. 1. Inclusion Criteria STA is now primarily for participants who require respite for informal carers. Living arrangements without informal care are no longer eligible. 2. Exclusions for STA Funding cannot cover personal lifestyle costs such as food and groceries. Non-NDIS supports, including travel expenses for holidays or tourist attractions, are excluded. 3. Accommodation Options Participants can access accommodation in both group and individual settings. Certain bundled meals and activities are permitted only in group settings. 4. Travel Restrictions Participants are discouraged from selecting STA options that involve long-distance travel. Local SSA options are encouraged to promote easier access.

  4. 5. Self-Care and Community Access Supports related to self-care and community access remain included under funding for STA accommodation in Adelaide. The emphasis is on maintaining the participant's independence and support. 6. Respite Focus STA is clearly defined as a respite service, distinguishing it from leisure activities or vacations. This change underscores the importance of purposeful breaks for both participants and their carers. 7. New Terminology The rebranding of programs from “Supported Getaways” to “Goal Oriented Respite” reflects a focus on achieving individual goals. This terminology aligns with the NDIS's broader objectives of participant empowerment.
