Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)
A place between today and your next home.
When your long-term home is identified but not ready, Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) may provide a temporary place to stay in specific NDIS-approved circumstances. We can discuss suitable arrangements and coordinate with your chosen support network.
When MTA may be relevant
Waiting for a suitable long-term home to become available.
Leaving hospital while an eligible home and living pathway is arranged.
Waiting for essential home modifications.
Certain transitions from justice settings, where NDIS criteria are met.
What MTA covers
MTA generally covers temporary accommodation for up to 90 days, not food, utilities, everyday living expenses or personal care. Any disability supports required during the stay must be arranged and funded separately.
A practical transition plan
We clarify your expected next home, timeframes, support needs, transport, accessibility and who is responsible for each action. MTA is not emergency or crisis housing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use MTA without NDIS approval?
NDIS-funded MTA requires the relevant eligibility and funding arrangements.
Does MTA include support workers?
No. Personal care and other supports are separate from the accommodation cost.
