Take a short break, try something new and enjoy support shaped around you.

Stay for a night, a weekend or longer in a welcoming Wallara home.

Spend your time your way — cook a favourite meal, head out locally, relax at home or try something new with support from people who take the time to get to know you.

A Short-Term Accommodation (STA) stay can also be a chance to practise everyday routines, spend time away from home or explore what living more independently could look like for you.
