NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) in Melbourne

MTA funding covers the accommodation itself, and only that. MTA doesn't pay for food, electricity, internet or your personal care. Your day-to-day support, from help in the mornings to travel to appointments, is paid for from other parts of your plan. We provide that support with the same local team from start to finish.

In accommodation we source for you throughout the areas we serve, across Melbourne's west and north. There isn't one fixed house, so where you stay depends on what you need and where you'd like to be. The support workers matched to you are with you from the first day to the last, so the faces you know don't change when your address does.

MTA is a place to live for up to 90 days while you wait for your long-term home. The NDIS sets out when MTA can be used, like leaving hospital or waiting for an SDA home. Short Term Accommodation (STA) is a short stay away from home, most often so the family member or carer who supports you can have a break. The NDIS usually funds STA for up to 14 days at a time and 28 days a year. We provide both, and our STA and Respite page explains short stays.

Call us on 1300 009 010 or fill out our referral form. Families and support coordinators are welcome to get in touch on someone's behalf. If MTA isn't in your plan yet, your support coordinator, your plan manager or the NDIS can explain how it's requested, and we'll give them the information they need. If you're in hospital, ask your ward social worker to refer you through our Rapid Hospital Discharge Program.
