The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been developed to improve choice and create better outcomes for people with a disability. You’ll receive a plan from the NDIA which is based upon goals you’ll set for yourself. Funding is provided, and you’re free to choose from any disability service provider you choose. Any goal which is considered reasonable and fair will be funded by the government. This can include support services to go about your daily life, as well as for goals such as learning to drive, learning to cook or creating independence in the community. You can learn more about the NDIS on the official federal government NDIS website.
The NDIS provides ongoing funding for all ‘reasonable and necessary’ disability equipment, care and support services. The National Disability Insurance Act, passed by the Commonwealth Parliament in 2012, sets out guidelines to help decide what can be funded. Generally the supports and services provided to you need to assist you to:
Short-Term Accommodation (STA) is a way of providing respite care that allows both you and your carer to have a break, support you to achieve their goals, and to participate in the community.
It’s a broad term that covers various types of short-term accommodation support and also includes respite care. STA enables you to experience living away from home in a supportive environment for short periods of time.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme funds ‘Short-Term Accommodation and Assistance’ under the Core Support category ‘Assistance with Daily Living’.
STA funding includes all basic expenses in a 24-hour period related to the service including:
You can find the rates in the NDIS Price Guide.
The NDIS operates within a range of eligibility criteria. Eligibility for individual support packages depends on:
Age: You have to be aged between 0-65 years old (although already enrolled participants, once they turn 65, can choose either to continue with the NDIS or transfer to the aged care support system available to all Australians over 65).
Disability requirement: you will be assessed based on the impact of your disability on functional capacity to communicate, interact socially, learn, move safely around your home and the built environment and manage your personal care and affairs (banking, bill paying etc.)
Early intervention requirement: early intervention supports will be available to achieve a benefit that would help mitigate the effects of an impairment, to alleviate or prevent the deterioration of functional capacity, or strengthen informal supports.
