    What is Short Term Accommodation (STA)?
    Short Term Accommodation (STA), sometimes known as respite, is a great opportunity for people living with a disability to have a break from their daily routine with the support of highly skilled staff in purpose-built accommodation.
    Focus Community Health care’ STAs are inclusive and enjoyable places for all short stays. We offer a range of services designed to meet each person’s individual needs, while also incorporating engaging activities to build skills to promote independence and the chance to meet new people.
    We have a number of STA houses across Sydney Illawarra and Central Coast regions.
    Our priority is ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for every person we support, so both guests and their families enjoy a well-earned short break.
