respite / STA / NDIS, Core Funding
Short Term Accommodation (STA) is a short stay away from home. It gives you the chance to try new things, make new friends, develop new skills, and/or help to maintain your current living situation by giving your informal supports a break. https://ourguidelines.ndis.gov.au/supports-you-can-access-menu/home-and-living-supports/short-term-accommodation-or-respite
NDIS usually funds up to 28 days per year for STA, in blocks of up to 14 days at a time.
STA is funded from the participants’ Core funding. It does not need to be a specific item written in the NDIS plan.
The STA rate covers all supports, meals, accommodation, activities and outings. There are no out-of-pocket expenses for the participant.
Group STA / Respite PROGRAM
The five-day stay is typically charged at NDIS price guide rate of 1:2 ratio STA support.
Some participants may need an increase to 1:1 ratio if they have high support needs. The cost for this will be at the 1:1 ratio STA rate.
INDIVIDUAL STA / Respite
Individual Respite/STA outside of the group program is charged at NDIS price guide rate of 1:1 STA support.
This may be reduced to 1:2 rate if there is another suitable participant at The Soul Shack at the same time.
intensive capacity building program, NDIS, Capacity building funding
The five-day intensive program is charged at the same rate as STA/Respite.
It is funded from the participants’ Capacity Building funding (this is in addition to the 28 days available under Core funding).
The Soul Shack has absorbed all costs for meals, accommodation, activities, and outings provided during the intensive capacity building program.
Invoices will be provided with the NDIS price guide codes under Capacity Building i.e. Occupational Therapy and Allied Health Assistant Intervention.
