Short & Medium Term Accommodation (STA/MTA)

At Jigsaw Blue, we understand that caring for a loved one can be both rewarding and challenging, and that at times, caregivers may need some time to rest and recharge. We offer respite services through short term (previously referred to as Respite) accommodation that provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals who require care.

​

Short Term Accommodation (STA) is temporary supported accommodation for a period of 2-6 weeks, available through the Core funding of your NDIS plan. The services that we offer are designed to give caregivers peace of mind whilst their loved ones are receiving the best possible care. 

​

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) refers to transitional accommodation for NDIS participants who are preparing to move into a more permanent home.

​

The NDIS funds Medium Term Accommodation for eligible participants for up to 90 days. This is so people living with disabilities aren’t forced into an aged care facility or made to wait in hospital longer than they need to.
