Navigating the world of NDIS Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) can be overwhelming, especially for participants and their families seeking temporary housing solutions. At Livability Care, we are committed to providing high-quality, safe, and comfortable accommodation options for NDIS participants who need transitional housing. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore what NDIS MTA is, who is eligible, its benefits, and how you can access it.
What is NDIS Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA)?
NDIS Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) is a funded support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that provides temporary housing for eligible participants for up to 90 days. It serves as an essential bridge for individuals transitioning between living situations, such as:
- Waiting for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or home modifications to be completed.
- Moving from hospital care or rehabilitation to a permanent home.
- Transitioning from out-of-home care or supported independent living.
- Experiencing changes in family or caregiver circumstances.
MTA ensures that individuals have a safe and accessible living space while waiting for long-term accommodation solutions.
Who is Eligible for NDIS MTA?
To qualify for NDIS-funded Medium-Term Accommodation, you must meet certain criteria set by the NDIS. Eligibility is typically granted to:
- NDIS participants with an approved plan that includes MTA funding.
- Individuals who are awaiting permanent housing arrangements, such as SDA or accessible home modifications.
- Participants transitioning from hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or aged care facilities.
- People requiring short-term accommodation due to a change in their informal care arrangements.
It is important to discuss your individual needs with your NDIS planner or support coordinator to ensure MTA is included in your plan.
