Short Term Accommodation (STA)
Short Term Accommodation (STA) gives NDIS participants a safe, supported place to stay when they need time away from home. Whether you’re looking for planned respite, support during a transition, or emergency accommodation, our team works closely with families, carers, and allied health professionals to ensure continuity of care.
Your STA stay includes accommodation, personal care, meals (as agreed), and activities aligned with your NDIS goals all delivered by trained, qualified Angels.
what we do
Short Term Accommodation You Can Feel Comfortable In
Our STA stays are designed to give participants and their carers the space they need without losing access to essential support.
We personalise every stay around your routines, goals, and preferences, making sure you feel at home while exploring new experiences.
Planned respite gives participants and carers time to recharge while maintaining consistent, high-quality support. Whether it’s a weekend away or a short stay during busy periods, we create a safe and comfortable environment that feels like a home away from home.
Every stay is designed to support routine, wellbeing, and independence.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my loved one will be safe during their stay?
Safety and wellbeing come first. Angels On Duty is a family-led, NDIS-registered provider with trained support workers on site throughout the stay. We follow your routines, needs, and preferences exactly as you share them so your loved one feels secure, respected, and supported.
What kinds of supports are provided during STA?
We provide personal care, daily living support, medication assistance, meals (if arranged), and community access. Every stay is tailored to your child’s or family member’s needs, whether that means a calm, predictable routine or structured activities that build confidence.
What if my support worker cancels — can you help last minute?
Yes. Angels On Duty offers emergency and short-notice STA when plans change unexpectedly. We can often step in quickly to ensure your loved one has the support they need while you manage what’s happening at home.
Can I choose the location of the stay?
Yes. We offer STA options across Brisbane, Ipswich, and the Gold Coast. We’ll help you choose the environment that best suits your loved one’s comfort and goals.
What do I need to have in their NDIS plan?
Most garden makeovers take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the size of the space, the complexity of the design, and weather conditions. Smaller projects with minimal structural changes can be completed quickly, while larger transformations involving landscaping, planting, and installation of features may require more time. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline during the planning stage so you know exactly what to expect.
How do we get started?
Just send us a message or request support online. We’ll walk you through every step from checking funding to planning the stay and making sure your loved one feels prepared and supported.
