NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) in Sydney & Newcastle

Looking for NDIS Medium Term Accommodation in Sydney or Newcastle?

SILSpecialist provides comfortable and supportive Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) options for NDIS participants who need a temporary place to live while transitioning to their longer-term home.

Whether you are waiting for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), home modifications to be completed, or transitioning from hospital into suitable long-term accommodation, our team can help you explore MTA options in Sydney and Newcastle.

What Is Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)?

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is an NDIS home and living support that can provide temporary accommodation for eligible participants who cannot yet move into their long-term home.

The NDIS generally funds MTA for up to 90 days, depending on your individual circumstances and approved NDIS plan. In limited circumstances, funding may extend beyond 90 days.

MTA is designed to provide a temporary housing solution while you prepare to move into more permanent accommodation.

When Can Medium Term Accommodation Be Used?

MTA may be suitable when you:

  • Are waiting to move into Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
  • Are waiting for home modifications to be completed
  • Are transitioning from hospital into suitable long-term accommodation
  • Need temporary accommodation while disability-related housing arrangements are being finalised
  • Are transitioning from certain justice settings while waiting for appropriate long-term accommodation

Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and NDIS funding.

What Does MTA Funding Cover?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I stay in Medium Term Accommodation?

The NDIS generally funds MTA for up to 90 days. Longer periods may be considered in limited circumstances depending on your disability-related support needs.

Can I use MTA while waiting for SDA?

You may be eligible for MTA if you are waiting to move into approved Specialist Disability Accommodation and need somewhere suitable to live during the transition.

Does MTA include meals and personal care?

MTA funding generally covers accommodation only. Food, internet, electricity and personal care supports are not included in MTA funding and may need to be paid for or funded separately through other approved supports.

Is MTA the same as Short Term Accommodation?

No. Medium Term Accommodation and Short Term Accommodation are different NDIS supports. MTA is generally used as temporary accommodation while you transition to a longer-term home and is not intended to be respite or emergency accommodation.

Can MTA help when leaving hospital?

MTA may be available to eligible participants transitioning from hospital who need temporary accommodation while appropriate longer-term home and living arrangements are organised.
