Our team is multicultural, multilingual, and experienced in supporting a wide range of participants across Melbourne’s western suburbs and beyond.
Looking for STA options for yourself or a family member? Call us on +61 3 9087 2100 we’re happy to talk through what’s available, no pressure.

What Is Short Term Accommodation (STA)?

Short Term Accommodation, also known as respite, is an NDIS-funded support that allows a participant to stay somewhere other than their usual home for a short period usually up to 14 days in a row. It covers the cost of accommodation, personal care, and any supports the participant needs during their stay. STA gives carers a genuine break while giving participants a chance to experience new environments, build independence, and socialise. STA funding sits under Core Supports in your NDIS plan and can be used flexibly alongside your other Core Support funding.

What Does My Core Support Provide Under STA?

Our STA services are designed to feel like a real break not just a place to stay. Our support workers can help with:

Personal care showering, grooming, dressing, hygiene

Meal preparation and mealtimes

Medication prompting and management

Community access and activities during the stay

Overnight and active overnight support

Transport to appointments or outings

Emotional support and companionship throughout

We work closely with participants and their families before and during the stay to make sure the experience is genuinely positive.

Why Families Choose My Core Support for STA in Melbourne

There are plenty of respite providers in Melbourne. Here’s what families tell us about why they chose us and why they come back.

We understand your culture

Our team speaks multiple languages and comes from diverse backgrounds. For many families, finding a respite provider who understands their cultural values, language, and family dynamics is not easy. We take this seriously it makes all the difference.

Qualified staff who genuinely care

Every support worker holds the relevant qualifications, but more than that, we hire people who are invested in the wellbeing of the participants they support. Respite only works if the family trusts the people caring for their loved one.

Registered NDIS provider

We’re fully registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. NDIS-managed participants must use a registered provider for STA and that’s exactly what we are.

The participant stays at the centre of everything

Before any stay, we get to know the participant their routine, preferences, and communication needs. The goal is not just a safe place to stay. It’s a genuinely good experience.

Seamless handover, clear communication

We know how hard it is to hand over care. Carers receive regular updates during the stay, and we ensure the transition back home is smooth and well-supported.
