In short
Respite in Logan (now called Short Term Respite, or STR, and previously Short Term Accommodation) is temporary support that gives carers a break while the participant continues to receive their usual support, sometimes in a different setting. It is funded through Core Supports and is usually capped at 28 days a year, with up to 14 days at a time.
What is respite care in Logan?
Respite care is temporary support that gives carers a break while the participant keeps getting the help they rely on. The NDIS now calls it Short Term Respite (STR); you may also know it by its old name, Short Term Accommodation (STA), which some plans still use.
The purpose is rest and recuperation for both the participant and their carer. A short break can be a chance to enjoy a different environment and a bit of variety, with the same level of support the participant has at home.
There are a few ways to use it, from overnight or short stays in supported accommodation to in-home respite and regular planned breaks. If you have been looking into disability respite in Logan or NDIS respite care in Logan, these are the main options to know about.

Yes. Short Term Respite is funded through the Core Supports part of your plan when it relates to your disability support needs and is reasonable and necessary. It does not cover holidays or general travel.
What is included in NDIS short-term accommodation?
A short-term respite stay usually covers accommodation, personal care, daily support and planned activities. In a group setting these are often bundled into a daily rate. Personal expenses such as event tickets are not covered.
How long can someone stay in respite accommodation?
Short Term Respite is generally funded for up to 28 days a year, with a maximum of 14 days in a row unless there are exceptional circumstances. You can use it in one block or spread it out.
Can respite support be personalised?
Absolutely. Respite is planned around each participant’s routines, preferences, communication needs and goals, so the experience feels comfortable and familiar rather than one-size-fits-all.
