Medium Term Accommodation

A temporary place to stay during an eligible housing transition. We discuss your circumstances, accessibility needs and available accommodation before agreeing to a stay. Daily living and complex care supports are arranged separately. Your NDIA contact can explain whether MTA funding suits your situation.

What MTA can support

A comfortable place between homes.

A comfortable place between homes.

Moving home involves many practical details. Tell us your expected dates and where you would like to stay. We ask about access, equipment and your daily routine. With your permission, we can involve your family, support coordinator and other providers. We discuss accommodation and daily support separately so you know what is included. We check that the stay is suitable and available before confirming it. Together, we keep the next stage of your move in focus.

Before your stay, we agree on dates, accommodation costs, accessibility and any separately funded supports. We work with you and the people you choose to keep responsibilities clear and plan your next move. MTA is available in specific circumstances and is not emergency housing. Some eligible hospital discharge pathways do not require a confirmed long term home. Your NDIA contact can confirm the funding requirements for your situation.

What is NDIS Medium Term Accommodation?

MTA is temporary accommodation for eligible NDIS participants in specific housing transition circumstances. It is generally funded for up to 90 days. The NDIA decides whether it can be included in your plan.

What does MTA funding cover?

MTA funding covers the cost of the accommodation. It does not include food, internet, electricity or personal care. Approved disability supports can be funded separately through other parts of the participant’s NDIS plan.

When might Medium Term Accommodation be suitable?

Examples include waiting for an eligible home to be ready, disability related home modifications, or certain hospital discharge pathways. A confirmed long term home is not required for every pathway. Your NDIA contact can explain which requirements apply to you.

Can ThriveAbility provide supports during an MTA stay?

Yes, where those supports are separately funded and agreed following assessment. This may include assistance with daily living, community participation, implementation of current Behaviour Support Plans and complex care delivered within worker competency.

How do we enquire about an MTA placement?

Contact us with the participant’s expected transition dates, MTA funding, preferred location, accessibility, household compatibility and support requirements. We will discuss availability and complete an individual suitability assessment before any placement is confirmed.
