Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)
At Bluerock Healthcare, a registered NDIS provider, we offer Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) as a secure, fully supported housing option for participants awaiting their long-term home. Whether you're waiting for home modifications, an available placement, or transitioning from hospital, aged care, or another service. Our MTA is designed to bridge the gap safely and supportively.
But we go a step further. Our goal is to support your entire housing journey, from short-term transition through to permanent, long-term living. We can help you transition into one of our Supported Independent Living (SIL) or Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes, ensuring continuity of care, consistency in supports, and comfort in familiar surroundings.
We’re continuously expanding our network of MTA properties across Australia including homes, commercial properties, and specialist facilities.

A Seamless Housing Pathway
With Bluerock Healthcare, you’re not just accessing a temporary housing solution — you’re building a relationship that supports you over time:
1. Medium-Term Stay – We provide safe, well-equipped MTA homes with trained staff to meet your daily support needs while you wait for your permanent home to be ready.
2. Support Coordination – We work closely with your support coordinator and allied health professionals to prepare for your long-term accommodation needs identifying options that align with your goals and preferences.
Why This Matters
We work closely with our SDA property partners to deliver homes across all official SDA design categories:
Familiar environment: You may already be in one of our properties during your MTA stay making the transition to SIL or SDA smoother and less disruptive.
Continuity of care: Our staff and clinical team remain consistent, providing a familiar and trusted support network.
Streamlined planning: Because we're across your full journey, we can proactively manage your housing, support needs, and NDIS plan transitions.
What Is MTA?
Under the NDIS, Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is a transitional housing solution. It supports NDIS participants who:
Have a confirmed long-term home to move into, such as a future Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), home under modification, or approved Supported Independent Living (SIL) placement
Cannot move into that home yet because necessary supports (e.g. assistive technology, home modifications) aren’t in place
Cannot stay in their current accommodation during the wait due to unsafe conditions or institutional settings
MTA is usually funded for up to 90 days, with extensions permitted in limited circumstances such as hospital discharge waiting periods or protracted modification timelines.
Because it’s transitional, MTA is intended as a one-off support, not ongoing accommodation.
What MTA Funding Covers and Doesn’t
Covered:
The cost of accommodation while you stay in MTA housing.
Not Covered:
Daily living expenses such as food, electricity, internet, or transport
Personal care supports, unless claimed through separate NDIS line items
Personal and clinical supports can run concurrently, if aligned with your broader NDIS plan.
Eligibility Criteria
1. Confirmed long-term home identified (e.g. SDA, modified rental, SIL arrangement).
2. Supports for that home (like assistive tech or modifications) are not yet available.
3. Current accommodation is unsuitable and cannot be lived in while awaiting the long-term home.
Exceptions apply if you're being discharged from hospital, aged care, or custody. Where long-term home confirmation may not yet be required to access MTA.
