The following fees are charged on a pro-rata basis for support in Short Term Accommodation & Assistance and Respite Care – typically broken into the following periods.

1 hr = 1/24th per day rate

These rates also apply to short notice cancellations which are less than 7 full days notice period. 

Pirates Day program is also provided under the STA line item so that all activities, food and transport can be built in. Life skills training can be provided both through the day as well as overnight to allow for full self-care to be trained and supported.

Additional care for participants requiring 2:1 support at different times during STA will use the price guide below as per 0107. Non-face-to-face support outside of the hours for the participant using STA services will also incur costs at the hourly rate below and may be utilised for incident report follow-ups, communication for the participant’s wellbeing with guardians, COS, emergency services, reports to the NDIS Commission and other stakeholders.

This support item covers the accommodation costs of Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA). The support component of the care is to be charged separately. Typically, MTA would be used for periods up to 90 days. Participants who stay in MTA are responsible for meeting their own food and everyday living costs from their own income rather than NDIS plan. As well as direct service provision, this support item can be used to claim for Short Notice Cancellations.

Please note: Wonderland Community Services is unable to provide Medium Term Accommodation without also providing usual care support during the period of Medium-Term Accommodation. This may mean releasing funds from other providers during this period to adequately support the participant during this time. Please review Assistance with Self Care and Assistance to Access Community, Social and Recreational Activities. Our tenancy agreements require 24/7 supervision of the property and adequate support and supervision of medium-term tenants.
