What this covers

STA and respite stays that give participants and carers a real break. CareMatch providers in this category service metro and regional areas across Australia. When you submit a request we match on your location, how your plan is managed and who actually has capacity to start, not just who's listed in a directory.

How the funding works

Housing supports draw on several parts of a plan: SIL funding, SDA payments, respite under Core supports or MTA funding while you wait for a long-term option. Vacancy matching depends on your approved funding level and location, which is exactly what our form captures.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to find an NDIS short term accommodation & respite provider through CareMatch?
No. CareMatch is free for participants, families and support coordinators. Providers pay us a matching fee, which replaces what they'd otherwise spend on advertising. The price of your supports stays exactly the same.
Who can use this service?
Anyone with an active NDIS plan, anyone currently applying and anyone filling in the form on a participant's behalf, including parents, family members and support coordinators. We ask how the plan is managed so the provider we match can actually bill it.
How quickly will a provider call me?
A real person reviews your request the same day, then one matched registered provider calls you at the time you choose in the form. If they're not the right fit, tell us and we'll match another at no cost.

Ready when you are
