Learn about the new NDIS Short Term Accommodation changes that have come into effect 1 July 2026….

Short-term accommodation (STA) is an NDIS support that gives participants time apart from their usual care arrangements. We’ve made some changes to help participants only claim for the supports they actually receive.

From today, we’ve replaced the previous fixed daily rate with separate line items for the costs of:

👉 participant accommodation

👉 support worker accommodation

👉 support hours from a support worker.

Participants who use STA supports should talk to their providers about what this change means for them and any future bookings they may have.

Planning a trip overseas is exciting, whether you’re visiting family, taking a long holiday, or spending extended time abroad. But if you’re an NDIS participant and you’re planning to be outside Australia for more than six weeks, it’s important to understand how this can affect your NDIS plan.

At My Plan Assist, we know that everyone needs a break sometimes – including you and the people who support you. That’s where Short Term Respite (STR) comes in. This was previously known as Short Term Accommodation (STA).

This month, we’re featuring a great read from Heather Avis & Sarah Mesinga titled ….

“Different: A Great Thing To Be”!

This joyful rhyming book encourages children to value the “different” in all people, leading the way to a kinder world in which the differences in all of us are celebrated and embraced.

Macy is a girl who’s a lot like you and me, but she's also quite different, which is a great thing to be. With kindness, grace, and bravery, Macy finds her place in the world, bringing beauty and laughter wherever she goes and leading others to find delight in the unique design of every person.

Children are naturally aware of the differences they encounter at school, in their neighborhood, and in other everyday relationships. They just need to be given tools to understand and appreciate what makes us “different,” permission to ask questions about it, and eyes to see and celebrate it in themselves as well as in those around them.
