NDIS Medium Term Accommodation Perth (MTA) — Transitional Housing While You Wait
Housing transitions are some of the hardest moments for NDIS participants — leaving hospital, waiting on modifications, holding in an unsuitable arrangement while long-term housing is finalised.
NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) exists for exactly these moments. Up to 90 days of temporary, supported living while your permanent solution comes together.
At Innovative Disability Services & Accommodation, we provide MTA across Perth — stable, high-quality transitional housing when you need it most.

What Is NDIS Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)?
MTA is a specific NDIS funding category for participants who have a long-term housing plan confirmed but face an unavoidable delay in accessing it. It bridges the gap between where a participant is now and where they are permanently headed.
It is not respite — that is STA. And it is not crisis housing. MTA is purpose-built for transitional housing situations.
Funding covers accommodation costs only, for up to 90 days. Daily supports, meals, and community access are funded separately through other parts of the participant’s plan — something families and support coordinators need to plan for ahead of the move.
If delays extend beyond 90 days due to circumstances outside the participant’s control, an extension may be considered by the NDIA with appropriate evidence.
Because eligibility and the exact evidence required can vary from one participant’s circumstances to another, it helps to see the full picture before your next conversation with a support coordinator or planner. Our companion resource, the NDIS Medium Term Accommodation Perth guide, walks through who typically qualifies, how the 90-day period plays out in practice, and what documentation strengthens a plan variation request. It’s a helpful starting point if you want more detail before reaching out to the NDIA or your planner.
Core Pillars of Our NDIS MTA Services
Who Is NDIS Medium Term Accommodation For?
Participants medically ready to leave hospital but unable to return home — because their SDA property isn't available, home modifications are still underway, or SIL hasn't been finalised — can use MTA to avoid prolonged inappropriate hospital stays. These situations are prioritised for rapid arrangement.
Participants with SDA approved in their NDIS plan but waiting for a suitable property or build completion use MTA as a bridge — preventing prolonged stays in unsuitable, inaccessible, or unsafe living situations.
Participants whose existing home is undergoing disability-related modifications (bathroom upgrades, ramps, structural changes for mobility equipment) may need temporary accommodation while the work is completed. Upon completion, the participant returns to a home properly set up for their independence.
NDIS MTA Eligibility Criteria — What You Need to Qualify
MTA is assessed against the NDIS ‘reasonable and necessary’ test. The critical requirement: the participant must have a confirmed long-term housing solution already in place, and the delay must be outside their control. MTA is not available for participants still searching for permanent accommodation or whose delay arises from a preferred option not yet being found. Innovative Disability can review individual circumstances and advise honestly on eligibility before any formal request is made.

Frequently Asked Questions — NDIS Medium Term Accommodation Perth
STA = planned respite, funded from Core Supports. MTA = housing transition, for participants with a confirmed long-term solution facing an unavoidable delay. Different purposes, different NDIS budget categories.
Typically up to 90 days. Extensions may be considered by the NDIA with clear evidence explaining why the delay is beyond the participant's control — e.g. construction setbacks on an SDA build or complications with home modifications.
