CENTRAL COAST SIL PROVIDERS | SIL | ILO | MTA | STA in Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney

When it comes to NDIS home and living supports, understanding the difference between Short-Term Accommodation (STA) and Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) is essential for the participant in making choices that support their goals and daily needs. Although both provide temporary housing solutions, these NDIS supports serve different purposes and are funded under different circumstances within an NDIS plan. Short-Term Accommodation, also known as respite, is designed for participants who need temporary support away from their usual home. This could be because their usual carers are unavailable for a short period, or they simply need a break. Medium-Term Accommodation, on the other hand, is for participants who are ready to move into a long-term home but cannot do so yet because essential disability-related supports are not in place.

Short-Term Accommodation (STA), including respite, is an essential home and living support that provides temporary care and housing for up to 14 days at a time, typically up to 28 days per year. STA is often used when informal supports, like family or carers, need a break or are temporarily unavailable. It provides opportunities for participants to try new activities, build independence, or develop social skills in a supportive setting. STA accommodation is not just about a place to stay, it also covers personal care, food, and agreed activities. Most importantly, the need for STA must be directly related to the participant’s

disability and must align with their NDIS goals. Medium-Term Accommodation is a temporary housing support for participants are waiting for essential disability supports to be finalised before moving into a long-term home. Unlike STA, MTA does not include day-to- day living expenses like food, electricity, or personal care. It is purely for rental costs and is generally funded for up to 90 days, although extensions can be granted in limited situations

with evidence of need. Participants must have a confirmed long-term home and be unable to

stay in their current housing for MTA to be approved.

Choosing between STA and MTA depends entirely on the current situation of the participant. If the participant is looking for a short stay to give your carers a break or to gain life skills in a new setting, STA may be the right fit. If the participant is transitioning into a permanent home but face delays due to disability-related supports, MTA may be what they need to bridge the gap. Speaking with your support coordinator or Local Area Coordinator

can help determine which option meets your needs, fits your plan, and aligns with NDIS funding criteria.
