Nothing is more rewarding than caring for a loved one with a disability, but it is also physically and emotionally exhausting. Participants and their families both require ways to relax, learn, and try something new. Here’s where NDIS Short Term Accommodation in Perth comes in.
Here at Perth Disability Services (PDS) we offer Supported Transition Accommodation programs (STA) which aim to facilitate opportunities for participants to engage in safe, fun and inclusive activities and give parents and carers some well-deserved time to recharge. It is more than just accommodation, our supports provide pathways to independence and skill development and personal development.
What is NDIS Short Term Accommodation in Perth?
NDIS Short Term Accommodation, more commonly known as “respite”, is where participants stay a few days or weeks in a residential setting that’s not their usual home. What is funded under the NDIS?
Accommodation
Personal care
Meals
Activities and community participation
STA is ideal for planned respite, emergencies, and/or as a bridge to permanent independent living. Participants and their families receive security and peace of mind as well as flexible options.
Benefits for Participants
Since, the advantages of Short Term Accommodation in Perth are not just limited to a short stay. Attendees walk away with real chances to grow, learn and network.
Safe and Supportive Environment
PDS make all the clients feel at home and confident throughout the ride. As you would expect from Kinggates, our approach is attentive and tailored to each care-receiver’s needs and wishes.
Social Interaction and Friendships
While at home, many participants experience social isolation. STA offers them an opportunity to meet others, trade stories, and make lasting friendships. Socialisation increases confidence and emotional health.
Skill Building and Independence
During PDS, we aim to encourage activities like cooking, cleaning and hygiene. These activities help them learn practical skills as well as give them the confidence they need to go out on their own.
Exposure to New Experiences
Through various recreational, community integration, and creative activities, individuals discover new interests and hobbies. They help to bring about joy, self-expression and self-discovery.
Transition Preparation
STA is an intermediate step for those who aspire to move on to long term supported housing. It is preparing them for the future with the little bits of responsibility and independence.
Benefits for Families and Carers
STA cannot be about supporting participants alone – families and carers with being a huge part of the context of services supporting people and providing care.
Respite and Recharge
Taking care of a disabled can be challenging. STA offers families an opportunity to have a break, return to individual responsibilities or to take one without feeling guilty.
Peace of Mind
Families can rest easy knowing their family member is well cared for in a safe, caring environment. This peace of mind lowers stress and increases the general welfare of your family.
Strengthened Relationships
Limited time away can breathe new life into family dynamics. Families typically return home feeling more hopeful, patient, and connected with their children.
Flexibility for Emergencies
Life is unpredictable. STA Solution: STA delivers an easy solution to the obstacles faced by families when surprise events occur (i.e., absence due to sickness, travel, last-minute obligations).
Why PDS for Short Term Stays in Perth?

Real-Life Impact of STA
The families that utilize STA frequently tell us what a difference it makes in their life. It offers excitement, independence and happiness to participants. For families, it makes the space to breathe, lowers the pressures of caregiving.
This is the meaningfulness of STA at PDS – of a participant being able to cook a meal all by themselves for the first time and gaining confidence, or a carer having a relaxing, guilt-free weekend away safe in the knowledge their loved one is secure and happy.
