NDIS SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION (STA)

If you are an adult with a disability, and are funded through the NDIS with Core Supports for Short Term Accommodation (STA), a stay at Bird’s Nest Studio will support your health and wellbeing. Bird’s Nest Studio is designed to provide a safe and supported environment for NDIS participants.

STA is a vital support under the NDIS because it’s designed to give participants a break from the stresses of day-to-day life whilst also promoting independence. It is available for up to 14 days at a time.

STA funding typically covers group rates, however, individual support is available with solid evidence of need. Bird’s Nest Studio is especially useful to participants with psychosocial or sensory disabilities for whom the sensory load of group accommodation can be prohibitively disabling.

STA funding covers

  • Accommodation

  • Self-care or community access supports.

STA funding does not cover

  • Meals and activities

  • Travel costs

  • Is not available to NDIS participants living alone or with SIL funding.

At Bird’s Nest Studio, we understand, first hand, how important it is to take break, and the extraordinary benefits of self-care through nature. So we’ve taken the hard work out of it, and created a healing space just for you.

Book Bird’s Nest studio accommodation only for up to 14 days.
On booking please provide

  • Your full name

  • Your NDIS number

  • Whether you will be bringing a disability support worker with you (a second bedroom is provided)

  • If you will require support from an experienced local disability support worker with self-care or community access during your stay please outline your requirements. Support can be tailored to your needs.

We are able to recommend social or recreational activities which promote independence and skill-building, and/or vocational or life skills training during your stay.

Bird’s Nest Studio caters to people with intellectual, psychosocial, sensory and physical disabilities. Please reach out to discuss further.

Change is on the horizon for NDIS Short-Term Accommodation (STA) in early 2025, and these updates could, therefore, impact how participants access support. This page will be updated as changes happen.
