Short & Medium Term Respite Accommodation
Support for when you need it the most
Our Short and Medium Term Accommodation services are a home away from home for people with disability and offer a safe and reliable respite service for carers.
With locations in the Blue Mountains and Western Sydney, our Short Term Accommodation services are there when you need us.
What is Short Term Accommodation?
Short Term Accommodation, including respite, is funding for support and accommodation for a short time away from your usual home. It covers the cost of your care in another place for up to 14 days at a time. You might have a short stay with other people, or by yourself. It’s often funded when your usual carers aren’t available, or for you to try new things.
How can Short Term Accommodation help you?
- Build confidence and independence away from usual carers
- Support if your usual carer becomes unwell or is temporarily away
- Support if your carer has other commitments arising
- An opportunity for carers to recharge their batteries
- Short-term or medium term accommodation can support a person with a disability with their transition to permanent residency.
Support is only a phone call away.
