Medium Term Accommodation
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) facilities are structured to provide varying levels of support based on individual needs. They assist participants with daily living activities, access to therapies, community engagement programs, and, where appropriate, skill-building opportunities. These accommodations are designed to be accessible, safe, and comfortable for individuals with disability.
MTA plays a significant role within the NDIS by offering stability and support during transitional periods. It supports individuals in moving between living arrangements, such as transitioning from short-term respite care to a more permanent housing solution. MTA may also serve as a temporary accommodation option when additional support is required due to changing circumstances.
MTA options under the NDIS include supported housing and group home environments, tailored to provide medium-term support. These accommodations offer varying levels of care and assistance to meet diverse needs, including those with behavioural or complex support requirements.
Housing arrangements intended to support and accommodate people with disabilities for a longer duration—typically a few weeks to several months—are referred to as medium-term accommodations.
