What is Medium Term Accommodation?
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is a support category funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It provides transitional accommodation for up to 90 days, ensuring participants are not left without suitable housing while waiting for their long-term solution—such as Supported Independent Living (SIL), Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), or home modifications—to become available.
MTA is not a replacement for permanent housing, respite care, or emergency accommodation. Instead, it bridges the gap with a safe, supportive, and stable environment.
When is MTA Needed?
Univa provides NDIS-approved Medium Term Accommodation in a variety of scenarios, including:
- Post-hospital care or surgical recovery
- Home modifications that render your property temporarily uninhabitable
- Delays in SDA or SIL arrangements
- Emergency relocation due to unsafe or unsuitable housing
- Transitioning from aged care or hospital into the community
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, speak with your support coordinator or contact Univa for guidance.
What Does MTA Include?
At Univa Disability Services, we go beyond offering a bed—we offer a home-like experience tailored to your needs. Our MTA packages include:
- Comfortable, fully accessible accommodation
- Daily living supports (e.g. personal care, meal preparation, transport)
- Skilled support workers available 24/7
- Social and recreational activities to promote wellbeing
- Coordination with your NDIS providers and planners
- Cultural safety and personalised support aligned with your preferences

Am I Eligible for MTA?
To access Medium Term Accommodation under the NDIS, you must:
- Be an active NDIS participant
- Have MTA funding approved in your NDIS plan
- Be in a transitional period (e.g. moving into SIL, waiting for home modifications)
- Work with a support coordinator to identify the best housing pathway
If MTA funding is not yet in your plan, your coordinator can submit a change of circumstances request or review application to include it. See the official guide to changing your NDIS plan for more info.
