Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) can help if you need a place to live while waiting for a confirmed long-term housing solution. For example, you may be waiting for some home modifications to be made before you can move into your new SDA property. The NDIS usually funds MTA as one-off support for stays of up to three months (90 days), while things are getting sorted.

At Easy Life Home Care, we offer MTA for those times when your confirmed long-term housing solution isn’t quite ready. This could be if you are:

• Waiting for home modifications to be done
• Waiting for assistive technology to arrive
• Waiting for your confirmed SDA to be available
• Waiting for a new build SDA to be ready
• Leaving the hospital or aged care
• Experiencing a breakdown of support and can’t live in your current home

MTA is funded under Core Supports in your NDIS plan. To fund this, the NDIS needs evidence that the person has somewhere to move into at the end of the MTA funding.

MTA covers the accommodation costs of where you stay. You’ll still need to pay for other things like your food, phone, internet, and other bills as usual. It also doesn’t include any personal care or other support you get in your home. You need to be funded for other disability supports separately if you need them while you stay in medium-term accommodation.
