Frequently Asked Questions
What is Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) under the NDIS?
MTA is NDIS-funded temporary housing for up to 90 days. It bridges the gap between your current living situation and your long-term accommodation goals — for example, while waiting for SIL placement, home modifications, or after a hospital stay.
How long can I stay in MTA?
NDIS Medium Term Accommodation is funded for up to 90 days at a time. Extensions may be possible depending on your circumstances and plan review. Your support coordinator can assist with renewal requests if your long-term housing is still being arranged.
What is the difference between MTA and STA (Respite)?
STA (Short Term Accommodation/Respite) is for planned short breaks of up to 14 days. MTA is for transitional housing needs up to 90 days — such as waiting for permanent SIL placement, recovering after hospitalisation, or during home modifications. Both include support and accommodation but serve different purposes.
