Short-Term & Medium-Term Accommodation in Dapto

Sometimes what you need is a safe place to stay while things settle. Short-Term Accommodation, often called STA or respite, and Medium-Term Accommodation, known as MTA, give you somewhere comfortable to stay with support around you. In Dapto, we’re here for a short break, a change of routine, or somewhere to land while you wait for your next home.

We’re BB Disability & Mental Health Services, a registered NDIS provider based at 6 Osborne Street, Dapto, with a team bringing real experience in disability support, mental health, and social work. STA and MTA are available to Dapto participants and across the wider Illawarra.

There are plenty of reasons a stay away from home might help. Maybe you want a break and something new, your family needs time to rest, or your current home isn’t quite the right place while you plan what’s next. Whatever’s going on, we listen first and help you understand what’s actually available.

What Could Your Stay in Dapto Actually Feel Like?

What Could Your Stay in Dapto Actually Feel Like

A stay away from home should be more than a place to lay your head. It’s about having the support and comfort around you that make somewhere new feel manageable, even settled.

A Little Look at Your Stay

  • When you arrive: A proper welcome, a chance to find your bearings, and settling in without anyone rushing you.
  • Each day: Meals, personal care, medication reminders if that’s part of your plan, appointments, and whatever daily routine keeps things feeling normal.
  • Time out in Dapto: A local outing, some shopping, a hobby you enjoy, family dropping by, or simply a break from the usual pace of things.
  • When it’s time to leave: An honest talk about what’s ahead, whether that’s home, ongoing support, or preparing for something more permanent.

STA and MTA can sit within your NDIS plan, depending on your situation and goals. We’ll walk through the difference and what’s realistically on the table, without turning it into a maze of terms. When you’re ready, say hello or make a referral and we’ll take it from there.

Why Choose Us for STA and MTA in Dapto?

  • We’re based in Dapto, so you’re speaking with a genuinely local team, not a stranger to the area.
  • A reply reaches you within 2 working hours on weekdays, because urgent questions shouldn’t sit unanswered.
  • We work alongside people living with physical, intellectual, and psychosocial disabilities.
  • Our experience in mental health and social work matters most when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.
  • Staying somewhere new can feel like a big change, and we take the time to understand what actually helps you feel comfortable.
  • Your routine, preferences, and choices stay important throughout your stay.
  • We’re fully registered with the NDIS and hold to the NDIS Practice Standards throughout.

A temporary stay can give you room to breathe, rest, and work out what’s next. You don’t have to rush through it, and you don’t have to face it alone.
