Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is a specialised NDIS-funded support that provides participants with a safe, stable, and supportive place to live while waiting for their long-term housing arrangements to be finalised. Unlike Short-Term Accommodation (STA), which is focused on respite or short breaks, MTA is designed for participants who are in a transition phase — for example, those approved for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or Supported Independent Living (SIL), but whose permanent home is not yet ready.
At 7Days Care WA, we understand that this waiting period can feel uncertain. That’s why our MTA services are not just about providing a roof over your head, but about ensuring that your temporary stay feels like home. We create environments that balance comfort, accessibility, and dignity, so you can continue living your life with confidence while preparing for your future home.
How Long Can You Stay in MTA?
MTA is usually funded for up to 90 days under the NDIS. This period is designed to give participants stability and peace of mind while waiting for their permanent housing.
However, at 7Days Care WA, we know that everyone’s journey is unique. Some participants may only need MTA for a few weeks, while others may require the full 90-day period. Our team remains flexible, working with you and your NDIS plan to make sure your stay is supportive and aligned with your personal timeline.
What Does MTA Cover?
NDIS funding for Medium Term Accommodation is designed to cover the cost of housing only. This typically includes:
A fully furnished and accessible property.
Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet.
General maintenance and upkeep of the accommodation.
What it does not cover
Personal care (like assistance with bathing, dressing, or eating).
Food, transport, or community access.
Support workers for daily living.
These supports are still available but must be funded separately through your Core Supports or SIL package. At 7Days Care WA, our team ensures you understand how to combine your MTA with other supports in your NDIS plan so you never feel left without the help you need.
