What is STA / MTA under the NDIS?
NDIS STA (Short-Term Accommodation) is a supported short stay—often used for respite—that gives participants a change of environment and gives families/carers time to rest. NDIS MTA (Medium-Term Accommodation) is a temporary supported option for participants who need stability during a transition (for example, while longer-term housing or supports are being arranged).
Who is STA / MTA suitable for?
STA/MTA can suit NDIS participants who need short breaks, structured support, help with daily routines, or a supported transition. We work with participants, families, carers and support coordinators to ensure the stay is appropriate and planned safely.
What makes a great stay?
Clear goals, consistent routines, the right level of support, and good communication. We focus on comfort, dignity, and practical outcomes—so the stay feels supportive and easy to follow.
