Short-Term and Medium-Term Accommodation

Safe, comfortable and genuinely caring NDIS accommodation across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven.

A proper break. For you, and for the people who love you.

Sometimes you need a little breathing room. Maybe your usual support person is away. Maybe you’re between living arrangements. Maybe you just need some time in a safe, caring space while you figure out what’s next. BB Disability offers NDIS-funded short-term accommodation (STA) and medium-term accommodation (MTA) across Wollongong, Dapto, Shellharbour, Kiama, Nowra, and the wider Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions, and we’re here to make that time feel calm, comfortable, and genuinely supported.

You won’t feel like a number here. You’ll feel like a person.

A proper break

What Is Short-Term Accommodation (STA)?

Short-term accommodation, often called respite care, is a planned or emergency stay away from your usual home. It gives you a chance to try something different, rest, explore a new routine, or simply take a breath, while the people who care for you get a chance to do the same.

Under your NDIS plan, STA can cover your accommodation, personal care, meals, and activities during your stay. It’s designed to be a positive experience for you, not just a temporary fix.

Most people are surprised by how much they enjoy it.

What Is Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA)?

Medium-term accommodation is for those times when your long-term housing isn’t quite ready yet. Maybe you’re waiting for a specialist disability accommodation (SDA) property, or your home is being modified, or something else has shifted and you need somewhere solid to land for a while.

MTA is NDIS-funded and can support you for up to 90 days while things come together. It’s a bridge, not a waiting room. You’ll have proper support around you and a real sense of stability while the next chapter takes shape.

Your Stay, Your Way

Whether you’re with us for a weekend or a couple of months, how your days look is up to you. Our team gets to know what matters to you, your routines, your preferences, what makes you feel settled, and works around that. You won’t be slotted into a one-size schedule.

Our support workers have real experience in disability care and mental health support, so if you’re living with a psychosocial disability or complex needs, you’re in good hands from day one. The leadership team at BB Disability comes from backgrounds in mental health social work and mental health nursing. That depth of knowledge shapes everything about how we work.

A Break That Actually
Helps Carers Too

Good carer respite matters. When the people who support you day-to-day get proper time to rest, they come back better. And when you’re in a place you feel safe and cared for, that peace of mind travels both ways.

This is one of the things STA does really well, when it’s done right. We take it seriously because we’ve seen what a difference a well-planned stay makes, for you and for your whole household.
