Short term respite (previously called short term accomodation) is an NDIS support that gives you a comfortable and safe place to stay for a short time when the people who usually help you (your ‘primary informal supports’) are unavailable or need a break.
Short term respite is funded through the Assistance with Daily Life category in your Core Supports budget. It’s usually included as a specific line item or stated support in your NDIS Plan, meaning the NDIA has approved it for your individual circumstances.
