If your current home is being modified with disability supports so you can live more comfortably, you might need a different place to stay for a while during this transition. Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) under the NDIS provides this as a temporary solution.
New Growth is here to guide you through the MTA process, helping to bridge the gap between your current situation and your long-term housing goals.
Medium Term Accommodation is a temporary housing solution designed to support NDIS participants who are in transition between living arrangements. It’s typically utilised when you have been discharged from hospital, or are awaiting completion of home modifications or the availability of a suitable long-term housing option. MTA includes any of the usual supports you have in your current NDIS plan.
Eligibility for MTA is determined based on your NDIS plan. You may be eligible if you are:
We start by assessing your specific needs to ensure that MTA is the right fit for you.
Our team will assist you in finding and securing suitable medium term accommodation that aligns with your preferences and requirements.
We facilitate the setup of necessary supports during your stay, providing continuity and stability.
New Growth will help prepare a seamless transition plan to move you from MTA to your long-term housing arrangement.

NDIS-funded respite provides essential breaks for families and carers through Short Term Accommodation (STA), but eligibility depends on your plan, accommodation choices require careful consideration, and understanding the rules helps avoid funding issues.
NDIS participants can access various employment funding options including standard employment supports, Disability Employment Services, and specialist coordination, though finding effective providers and accommodating employers often requires careful research and advocacy.
The NDIS can fund vehicle modifications that are necessary for driving or travelling safely due to your disability, but won't pay for the vehicle itself. You'll need an occupational therapist assessment and must meet specific criteria around vehicle age and modification necessity.
The NDIS funds a wide range of assistive technology items including mobility aids, communication devices, home modifications, and daily living equipment, with approval based on individual assessments by allied health professionals rather than a standard list.
NDIS plans contain both flexible funding categories that allow cross-category spending and stated supports with specific restrictions, but unclear NDIA guidance creates confusion for participants and support coordinators about what's actually allowed.
NDIS consumables are everyday items that help manage your disability needs, from continence products to cooling bedding, but claiming them requires proper documentation and understanding of stricter approval criteria since late 2023.
The NDIS can fund home modifications to improve safety and independence, ranging from minor changes under $10,000 to complex structural alterations, with approval depending on proper assessment documentation and following specific NDIA processes.
NDIS transport funding can be optimised through choosing between direct payments or in-plan reimbursement, understanding provider travel charges, and advocating for appropriate funding levels based on your transport needs.
MTA is typically provided for up to 90 days, but the duration can vary based on individual circumstances.
Housing options can range from specialist disability accommodation to standard rental properties, depending on availability and participant needs.
Yes, necessary supports are provided in MTA, which can include personal care, daily living support, and other NDIS funded supports.
MTA is a temporary solution designed to bridge the gap until a long-term housing solution is available.
