Short Term Respite Accommodation

Support for when you need it most.

At NADO, our Short Term Respite service provides a safe, welcoming home away from home for NDIS participants in the Lower Blue Mountains of Western Sydney.

Designed to offer meaningful support and genuine care, our respite stays give NDIS participants new experiences, comfort, and connection - while giving carers a valuable break with complete peace of mind.

Short Term Respite (STR) is a service for NDIS Participants that offers accommodation and support for a short time away from your usual home. Your stay may be with other people, or by yourself. It’s often funded when your usual carers aren’t available, or provides an opportunity for you to try new things.

How can Short Term Respite help you?

  • Builds confidence and independence away from usual carers
  • Provides support if your usual carer becomes unwell or has other committments
  • Provides an opportunity for carers to recharge their batteries
  • Short Term Respite can help support a person throughout their transition to permanent residency.
