What’s there to do?
From outdoor adventures in nearby rainforest and parks, to enjoying local entertainment and dining, there is something for everyone when it comes to staying at Shorter House.
Our Traralgon Community Hub offers a variety of inspiring programs and workshops including art classes, wood working or cooking classes, community programs and sporting activities.
You choose if you want to participate, develop new skills and make new friends; or simply relax and be as independent as you want to be.
Does NDIS funding apply?
Yes it does. NDIS funding can be used for respite to support you and your carers. If you already have funding in your Core budget, you can use this for STA.
The NDIS usually funds up to 28 days of STA per year and can be used flexibly – eg: you might want to use it in a block of up to 14 days at a time or for one weekend a month.
