NDIS Respite, STA and Capacity Building

24-hour Support & Care

At Gold Coast Detox and Rehab Services, our services are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual, providing a peaceful retreat in homestead-style accommodations. Participants enjoy 24-hour support and care in a serene setting, complete with chef-prepared meals, private bathrooms and balconies. For those who prefer, bringing a personal carer along is also an option. Our program includes a variety of on-site activities like music, art and exercise, enhancing the respite experience.

Our facility falls under the NDIS accepted funding for respite care, ensuring that all members have access to high-quality, supportive environments where they can unwind and recharge. Offsite activities extend to yoga, massage and acupuncture, and we offer an array of recreational outings such as walking, golf, bowling, hiking, sailing and surfing. These activities provide relaxation and stimulate physical and emotional well-being, catering to the preferences and abilities of our guests.

Understanding that respite and STA are more than just a change of scenery, our services cover all aspects of your stay. This includes accommodation, care, meals and engaging activities, all funded under the Core Supports category of your NDIS plan. Our counsellors are available daily for one-on-one sessions, and our trained nursing staff can assist with any medical needs, including medication adjustments with your doctor's approval.

Short-Term Accommodation (STA)

This will appear in your NDIS Plan under Core Supports. STA provides support and accommodation for a short period to help you and your carers rest and recover. This covers the cost of care outside your home and all the support you need during your time away from home. Support from STA can significantly increase your independence or help you learn new skills.

Accommodation is only one part of STA and respite. The cost of your care, food and activities are all covered. We have qualified counsellors each day offering 1:1 counselling as part of your stay.

If you need to reduce or change your medication (with your doctor’s permission), our trained nursing staff and support workers can supervise your transition. We can collaborate with you and your Local Area Coordinator, Support Coordinator or Plan nominee to plan your Short-Term Accommodation (STA).
