NDIS Short-Term Accommodation (STA) on the Gold Coast

Great Life Health provides NDIS Short Term Accommodation (STA) on the Gold Coast, offering safe, flexible, and personalised support for NDIS participants when their usual living or support arrangements are temporarily unavailable. Our STA services are designed to support participants while also providing a valuable break for families and primary carers.

As a registered NDIS provider on the Gold Coast, we deliver Short-Term Accommodation that is person-centred, professionally staffed, and aligned with each participant’s NDIS plan and goals.


What Is NDIS Short Term Accommodation?

Short-Term Accommodation (STA), sometimes referred to as NDIS respite, provides participants with temporary accommodation and support for a short period of time. STA typically includes:

  • Accommodation
  • Personal care and daily living supports
  • Meals and household assistance
  • Support with community access and activities

At Great Life Health, our STA services on the Gold Coast focus on safety, comfort, independence, and wellbeing, ensuring participants feel supported while enjoying a change of environment.


When Can STA Be Used?

NDIS Short-Term Accommodation can be used for a variety of purposes, depending on the participant’s needs and circumstances.

✔ Respite Care on the Gold Coast

Our STA services provide respite care for NDIS participants while giving family members and regular carers a well-deserved break. Participants receive consistent, high-quality support from trained staff, while carers have peace of mind knowing their loved one is safe and well cared for.

✔ Emergency Short Term Accommodation

Great Life Health offers emergency STA on the Gold Coast for participants who require immediate, short-term support due to unexpected situations, such as:

  • Carer unavailability
  • Changes in living arrangements
  • Hospital discharge or urgent transitions

Our experienced team is skilled in responding quickly and managing complex support needs to ensure continuity of care.

✔ Trial Stays & Transitional Support

STA can also be used for trial stays, allowing participants to:

  • Experience different living arrangements
  • Trial new support environments
  • Explore options such as Supported Independent Living (SIL) before committing long term

This option is ideal for participants and families who want to make informed decisions about future accommodation and support models.
