FAQs

What is Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) in the NDIS?

Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) provides temporary housing for NDIS participants awaiting long-term accommodation, such as Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Available for up to 90 days, it’s designed to ensure participants can maintain a safe and supportive living situation until they can secure a permanent solution.

What’s the difference between MTA and STA in the NDIS?

MTA is for longer stays — up to 90 days — acting as a ‘bridging’ support to long-term living arrangements, e.g. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). STA, on the other hand, is perfect for short stays, giving you or your caregivers a chance to ‘hit pause’ on their regular living situation.

How does NDIS MTA funding work?

MTA is not a standalone support—it’s part of your home and living support needs within your NDIS plan and is funded through your Core Supports budget under “Assistance with Daily Life”. It covers accommodation while you wait for your long-term home. MTA typically lasts up to 90 days, and while it covers your stay, day-to-day living expenses (like food and utilities) aren’t included.

Who is eligible for Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) funding?

You may be eligible if you have a permanent home lined up but are unable to move in because your disability supports aren’t ready yet. You could also qualify if you can’t stay in your current accommodation while waiting for your long-term home. To qualify, you’ll need to provide evidence to the NDIA, such as a tenancy agreement or confirmation of approved modifications.

Please note, the NDIS will require evidence of a permanent home to move into after the proposed MTA period ends. Without this, funding won’t be approved.

MTA funding may be deemed suitable If either of the following apply:

There’s been a breakdown in your support arrangements, meaning you can’t live in your current home.

You need to leave a residential facility, hospital, or custodial setting.

Still unsure about your eligibility? Contact your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) for assistance, speak to your support coordinator for advice, or reach out to the boldli team and we’ll do our best to help.
