What is STAP's?
Short Term Assistance Packages provide case management and support services to families who are caring for a child or adult (five to sixty five years) with moderate to severe disabilities and/or high support needs.
A short term assistance package is designed to provide a timely response to families who require access to appropriate services for their child or adult member with a disability.
A 'Family Services Co-ordinator' will work with the family to ensure they are linked into a range of existing services that meet expressed needs.
STAP's may provide the following services for a period of up to six months:
• Information

• Advocacy
• Assistance accessing equipment
• Recreation options
