Supported short stays that give you time to recharge, explore, and grow.
Short Term Respite (STR) is a NDIS-funded support that gives you the chance to spend time in a safe, welcoming environment away from your usual home. It is an opportunity to try new activities, meet new people, and build your independence, all while receiving the personalised care you need. Whether it is for a few days or a couple of weeks, STR offers a change of scenery and routine that can boost your confidence, develop new skills, and provide peace of mind for your loved ones knowing you are well supported. Support Solutions Australia is committed to providing a warm and welcoming respite service that will feel like a home away from home.
What is STR?
Short Term Respite is NDIS-funded support that covers the cost of your care and accommodation for a short period, generally up to 14 days at a time.
You might use STR to:
- Try new experiences in a different setting
- Learn daily living skills in a supportive environment
- Build independence by being away from home
- Meet and connect with new people
- Give your informal carers a chance to rest and recharge
STR can take place in a variety of settings. Some of our clients have stayed in hotels, motels or have even gone glamping! The focus is on making sure you get the right support to reach your goals while enjoying a change of scenery.
What We Offer
We make STR flexible, personalised and welcoming, designed around your goals and needs.
While you are away from home, our friendly, trained support workers provide assistance with:
- Personal care and daily living support
- Transport to activities and appointments
- Planning fun and meaningful outings

- Skill-building programs tailored to your goals
- Cooking, cleaning, and maintaining home-like routines
- Building social connections and independence skills

The Support Solutions Australia Difference
Personalised Stays, Tailored to You
No two people are the same, so no two STR experiences should be either. We design each stay around your needs, preferences, and goals.
A Home Away from Home
We create warm, comfortable environments, so you can feel relaxed and supported, not like you are in an institution.
Familiar Faces for Peace of Mind
Where possible, we match you with support workers you already know and trust, so your stay feels safe and comfortable from day one.
Support That Respects Your Rhythm
Everyone has their own pace and preferences. We pride ourselves on tuning in to your natural rhythm. Whether you are an early riser or prefer quiet afternoons and tailoring your STR care and activities around what feels best for you, not a set schedule.
