NDIS Medium Term Accommodation

What is Short-term and Medium-term Accommodation with the NDIS?

At Apex Support Services, we know how important it is to find accommodation that fits your needs. NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) offers safe and accessible places to stay for a limited time, usually up to 90 days. This option works well for people with disabilities who need temporary housing while they prepare to move into something more permanent.

Short Term & Medium Term Accommodation

What is Short-Term Accommodation (STA)?

Short-Term Accommodation (STA) provides temporary support and a comfortable place to stay for NDIS participants who need a break from their usual living arrangements. Whether it’s to give carers a rest, recover from an illness, or adjust to a new situation, STA offers flexible, accessible housing for a short period. This helps participants maintain their independence while receiving the care and support they need in a safe environment.

What is medium-term accommodation?

Medium Term Accommodation is short-term housing designed to support NDIS participants during a transition period. These homes are made accessible, with features like wheelchair ramps and adapted bathrooms to suit different needs. MTA is perfect for those waiting for long-term housing or who need temporary support because of changes in their situation.
