Here’s what we offer:
Need a breather? Whether you’re an NDIS participant looking for a short stay, or a carer who truly deserves some time off, QP Care is here for you. We offer NDIS Short-Term Accommodation (STA) – think of it as your supportive respite accommodation – right across Melbourne.
Life can be full-on. Our STA and emergency respite care options are designed to give you a safe, comfortable place to recharge, knowing you’ve got 24/7 personalised support if you need it.
You’ve probably heard “STA” or “respite care” mentioned. What does it actually mean for you?
Basically, NDIS Short Term Accommodation is your chance to take a short break away from your usual home. It’s funded by your NDIS plan. For you, as an NDIS participant, it could be a great way to try out new things, meet some new faces, or just enjoy a different environment for a bit, all with the right support on hand.
And if you’re a carer? This is your time. Seriously. STA means you can take that essential break to rest, look after your own wellbeing, or catch up on things, knowing the person you care for is in good hands, getting quality, personalised support.
People use STA for all sorts of reasons:
At QP Care, we don’t just see it as a bed for the night. We want your STA experience to be genuinely good for you. We’ll talk with you about what you’re hoping for from your stay so the support we give lines up with what you want to achieve and what’s in your NDIS plan.
Alright, let’s talk funding – it doesn’t have to be complicated. NDIS Short Term Accommodation usually comes out of the Core Supports part of your NDIS plan. This funding is there to cover your stay in the respite accommodation, the personal care you need, your meals, and any activities we’ve agreed on together for your time with us (usually STA is for up to 14 days at a time, but we can be flexible). Our team knows this stuff inside out, and we’re happy to chat about how your NDIS funds can work for a respite stay at QP Care.
Look, we know choosing a respite provider is a big deal. You want to feel comfortable, safe, and know you’re getting good support. Here’s what we really focus on at QP Care:
