NDIS Short Term Accommodation & Respite on the Sunshine Coast

First Priority Care provides NDIS Short Term Accommodation, widely called respite, across the Sunshine Coast. Stays include accommodation, meals, personal care and 24-hour support. The region splits into a coastal strip and a hinterland, and the drive between them shapes how a stay is planned for hinterland families.

Delivering Short Term Accommodation in the Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is really two places for this purpose. A family at Mooloolaba and a family at Maleny have the same postcode region and a very different drive, and for hinterland families the trip down the range is the part of a stay that needs planning rather than the stay itself.

Frequently Asked Questions | Short Term Accommodation the Sunshine Coast

Do you support participants in the hinterland as well as the coast?
Yes, through Maleny, Mapleton, Palmwoods and the surrounding towns. The practical difference is travel time rather than availability, so we talk through the drive at intake and plan arrival and pick-up around it instead of pretending the range is not there.
What does a Short Term Accommodation stay actually include?
Accommodation and meals for the whole stay, personal care such as showering and dressing, medication support with registered nurse oversight where it is needed, and support to get out and do things rather than sit in a house. It is funded under Core Supports.
