What is Short Term Accommodation?

Short Term Accommodation (STA), often called respite, provides a supportive place to stay for a short period. It gives participants a change of routine, builds confidence and independent living skills, and offers carers a break.

Bluegum’s STA focuses on individual goals — whether that’s trying new activities, practising daily living skills, or enjoying a safe, comfortable break with experienced support workers on hand.
