Medium Term Accommodation
(MTA) Funding – Easy Read Guide
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is money from the NDIS to help people with disability find a place to live for a short time. This funding is for situations when you need temporary housing, usually up to 6 months.
MTA funding helps with:
- Short-term living costs: Paying for a place to stay while you find a more permanent home.
- Support services: Assistance during your stay, including help with daily tasks.

MTA is for people who:
- Need temporary accommodation while waiting for a longer-term home.
- Are in between housing situations or need a safe place to stay.
- Have support needs that require assistance during their stay.
- Ongoing or permanent housing costs (this requires different funding).
- Daily support if it isn’t part of your temporary stay arrangement.
