What can participants use STA funds for?
November 3rd, 2023 
STA stands for Short-Term Accommodation. The NDIS provides STA funds as a form of temporary respite care, allowing participants and their carers to spend some time away from the participant’s home.
The specifics of what can be claimed under STA must be reasonable and necessary as determined by the participant’s needs and goals, which must be clearly laid out in their Plan. In the absence of documentation provided in their Plan, participants should seek written guidance from their NDIA planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC).
