MyBreak STR

Short-term respite tailored to you!

With MyBreak, experience short-term respite that’s flexible, supportive and centred around you.

 

What is MyBreak STR all about?

Our MyBreak service offers short-term respite designed to provide you with a refreshing change of scenery, while supporting your independence in a safe and welcoming environment. At the same time, it gives your primary carers a valuable opportunity to rest and recharge from their daily caring role.

Most stays are small, group-based experiences (typically up to three participants, depending on capacity), creating a social and supportive setting. We also understand that some people may require one-to-one support, and we are happy to accommodate this based on your needs and funding.

Each stay is delivered by qualified Myhorizon staff, with 24/7 support tailored to your individual goals, preferences and support requirements.

 

How is your respite funded?

Under the 2026 NDIS guidelines, funding for Short Term Respite (STR), formerly known as STA, is drawn from your Core Supports budget. This funding covers your professional support care, seasonal meals, and stay in suitable accommodation.

Transport to and from respite can be drawn from your core transport budget.

 

Making the most of your STR funding

At Myhorizon, we’re committed to providing flexible, transparent support that helps you get the most from your NDIS funding.

 

Hourly based pricing
Unlike many providers who charge in set 24-hour blocks, we align our pricing to the actual hours you receive support. This approach helps make your funding go further and may allow for more frequent or longer stays over time.

 

Clear and consistent costs
Your STR funding covers your support, meals and accommodation. In line with NDIS guidelines, any personal expenses, such as tickets to events or optional community activities, are your only out-of-pocket expenses.
