Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) provides temporary, safe, and suitable housing for people who need a place to live while longer-term accommodation is being arranged.

MTA is designed to support people during housing transitions, ensuring you are not left without a secure home during periods of change or uncertainty.

MTA is commonly used while you are waiting for long-term housing, such as:

  • A Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) home

  • A Supported Independent Living (SIL) arrangement

  • A private rental or other permanent housing option

During your stay, MTA offers a stable and comfortable living environment, helping reduce stress and uncertainty while long-term arrangements are finalised.

MTA focuses on providing the home itself, including a safe space to live and basic household setup. Daily personal care or ongoing supports are funded separately, if required, through your NDIS plan.
