How NDIS Funding For Respite Works?
The NDIS can fund respite when it is reasonable and necessary and related to the participant’s disability. A few key points:
- Short Term Respite usually comes from your Core Supports budget.
- The NDIS generally funds up to 28 days per year, and up to 14 days at a time, unless exceptional circumstances apply.
- You can use it flexibly, for example in one block or as a weekend each month.
- It covers standard accommodation and support during the stay. It is not a holiday fund.
Every plan is different. Check your plan or talk to your support coordinator, and we can help you understand how respite might fit.
