Sometimes there is a gap. Waiting on permanent housing, between plans, or recovering from something big. Medium term accommodation gives you stable, supported housing for that in-between stretch, so you are never left without somewhere safe.
24-hour referral response
Medium Term Accommodation, or MTA, is NDIS funding for somewhere to live when your long term housing is not ready yet. It is generally funded for up to 90 days, and it exists precisely because the gap between hospital, or a plan change, and a permanent home is where people fall through.
It is longer than respite and shorter than SIL. The point is stability while something else gets sorted, with a clear end date you can actually see rather than an open-ended wait.
You are waiting on a permanent SIL or SDA placement
You need somewhere stable after a hospital stay
Your usual living arrangement has changed unexpectedly
Your family or carers need a longer, planned break
Modifications are being done to your homeAn in-between stretch still has to feel liveable. Ninety days somewhere that feels temporary is a long ninety days.
Matched to what you actually need, not a standard package applied to everyone.
Somewhere comfortable and genuinely liveable, with your routines kept going.
We work towards the exit from day one, so this has an end you can see.
MTA is generally funded for up to 90 days. It is designed for situations where your long term housing is confirmed but not yet available, rather than as an open-ended arrangement.
STA, or short term accommodation, is a break of up to around 14 days. MTA is a longer stay of up to 90 days, usually while permanent housing gets sorted. They are funded separately in your plan.
We acknowledge referrals within one business day and move quickly on medium term requests, because they are almost never something that can wait. We will be honest about capacity straight away.
Yes. We work with hospital discharge planners, allied health teams and support coordinators regularly, and we can coordinate with your treating team on the discharge plan.
We plan for that from the start. In most cases people move into permanent SIL or their own home once it is ready. If something has slipped, we work with your coordinator on the next step rather than leaving it to the last week.
Medium term respite uses the same Frankston property as our short stays, giving a familiar place and familiar faces for participants who need more than a few nights away.
