KD Plan Management would Like to announce that NDIS has just released the new Guidelines for STA “Short Term Accommodation” now called STR “Short Term Respite”

As always your friendly KD Plan Management Team are here for you if you have any questions.

Short term accommodation is now called short term respite.

We spoke with participants, families and carers about this change. Most told us that short term respite better reflects the value of informal supports and the importance of sustaining these relationships.

We know some people have concerns about the word ‘respite’, but many carers and families use and understand it well. After considering all the feedback, we chose this name because it’s clear and widely recognised.

Short term respite gives you time away from your usual care arrangements, while your primary informal supports take a short break.

We’ve updated Our Guideline to make it easier for you to understand and use. It explains:

✅ who can use short term respite

✅ what it includes

✅ how it works

✅ where it can be used.

🧠💬 Confused by the new NDIS support lists? You’re not alone.

The NDIS recently updated what they will and won’t fund — and let’s be honest… it’s a LOT to take in. 😅

✅ Daily personal supports? Covered.
✅ Home modifications? Yep.
✅ Help with your rent, groceries, or Netflix? ❌ Not so much.

If you’re not sure what counts as a reasonable & necessary support, or why some things get approved while others don’t… that’s where we come in.

👋 We’re KD Plan Management — and we’re here to help make sense of it all.

We’ll walk you through the difference between funded and non-funded supports, help you avoid NDIS knockbacks, and give you confidence in using your plan to its full potential.

📥 Got questions? Drop them in the comments or send us a message.
📲 Or tag someone who needs a hand navigating their NDIS budget — we’ve got them too.

Let’s make the NDIS feel a little more human 💙
