Medium Term Accommodation

Unite Canberra Care offers Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) in Canberra to eligible NDIS participants in need of temporary accommodation beyond a few days, but not permanently. MTA is able to provide assistance to individuals who would be moving from hospital or aged care back home, waiting to have their homes modified, or waiting to have Supported Independent Living or Specialist Disability Accommodation arrangements. It can also help when an emergency or unexpected change creates a temporary housing need. It gives people a stable place while longer-term housing plans are arranged.

Flexible Accommodation For Changing Needs

Medium Term Accommodation NDIS Canberra is a short-to-medium stay option for eligible participants with MTA funding in their NDIS plan. Unite Canberra Care offers furnished, accessible homes across Canberra and surrounding regions. Stays typically range from a few weeks up to 90 days, depending on the person's NDIS plan and circumstances.

Key features include:

• Fully furnished, clean and accessible living spaces.
• One-to-one service with personal care, daily living activities, managing medicine, and access to the community.
• 24/7 on-call support for emergencies.
• Flexible stay periods based on individual circumstances.
• NDIS-compliant service delivery.
   

Support During A Housing Transition

MTA can be useful while a longer-term housing arrangement is being prepared. It may suit someone waiting for home modifications or moving between care arrangements. It can also support a transition from hospital or aged care back into the community. The team can discuss your housing needs before developing a personalised accommodation and support plan. A move-in follows once MTA is approved and ready.

Who Can Use MTA Support?

NDIS participants may use MTA when their plan includes funding for this support and they are transitioning between care arrangements or awaiting permanent housing. Interim housing can also be used in the event of an emergency or a planned change. In case of doubts regarding eligibility, Unite Canberra Care will assist you to find your way around your NDIS plan and make arrangements with your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager. That conversation starts with your current housing situation.
