Annie’s House Accommodation is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home offering up to three-person accommodation at one time. Stays are flexible to your needs from a few hours, overnight, weekends, or up to 2 weeks at a time.
Our service provides respite support for you and your carers/family to enable them to have a break to maintain their caring role. You can use it as a holiday or develop daily living skills and independence away from home and meet new people. We will work with you to achieve your related goals.
Included in the Short Term Accommodation fee are your personal support needs, all meals, and activity costs. We can provide pick-up and delivery to some locations or assist you to organise transport to access our service. Speak to us about how we can assist with transport.

You will require Short Term Accommodation funding in your NDIS Plan to access this service using your NDIS core funding. The NDIA usually fund up to 28 day per year. You can speak with us to assist you to understand your funding or speak to your Local Area Coordinator or Support Coordinator.
