NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)
Temporary accommodation and disability support for people who are ready to move but are waiting for their confirmed long-term home to become available.
Temporary housing with a clear transition plan
Medium Term Accommodation is designed as a time-limited option while a participant waits for a confirmed longer-term housing solution. Eden Ability coordinates accommodation, disability support and the practical steps needed for a safer transition.
Suitable accommodation
We consider accessibility, location, support needs and the participant’s confirmed transition pathway.
Coordinated supports
Support is planned with the participant, nominees, clinicians, support coordinator and discharge team where relevant.
Move-on focus
Every placement begins with a clear understanding of the intended long-term home and next steps.
MTA may be suitable when
- A participant is ready to leave hospital but their confirmed home is not ready
- Home modifications or assistive technology are still being completed
- A long-term housing offer is confirmed but the move-in date is later
- A participant is transitioning from another setting into supported housing
- Temporary disability support is needed during an agreed housing transition
What MTA is not
MTA is not intended to be permanent housing, general emergency accommodation or a substitute for a confirmed long-term housing plan. Eligibility, duration and funded supports depend on each participant’s circumstances and NDIS plan.
Our team will review the referral information and explain whether Eden Ability has a suitable option.

Frequently asked questions
Does every participant qualify for MTA?
No. MTA funding and suitability depend on the participant’s circumstances, NDIS plan and confirmed longer-term housing pathway. We recommend checking with the participant’s support coordinator or NDIS contact.
Can a hospital or support coordinator refer?
Yes. Referrals can come from participants, nominees, support coordinators, social workers and hospital discharge teams, with the participant’s consent.
How quickly can Eden Ability respond?
Response time depends on receiving complete referral information and having a suitable vacancy and support team. Urgent referrals should clearly state the required date and current risks.
