NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)
What is Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)?
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is a flexible housing option funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It serves as a crucial bridging solution for NDIS participants who require temporary housing while waiting for a more permanent living arrangement.
Key features of MTA include:
- MTA is funded for up to 90 days. Extensions may be possible in some circumstances, subject to NDIS approval.
- Fully accessible and tailored living environments
- Support for independent living skills development
- NDIS-funded accommodation and support services
Who is MTA for?
MTA is designed to support NDIS participants who:
- Are transitioning out of hospital or rehabilitation facilities
- Are waiting for home modifications to be completed
- Need time to find or wait for suitable long-term housing
- Are developing independent living skills before moving to more permanent accommodation
- Require a safe living environment while exploring long-term housing options
Learn more about MTA eligibility on the NDIS website.
