About our Medium Term Accommodation services

 At Sanity Care, we offer MTA when situations arise that delay moving into your more permanent home.  This could be because you are: 

Waiting for home modifications to be done

Being discharged from hospital or leaving aged care

Waiting for assistive technology to arrive

Waiting for your confirmed Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) to be available

Waiting for a new build SDA to be ready

Experiencing a breakdown of supports and can’t live in your current home.

Which categories in my Medium Term Accommodation plan can I use?

MTA is funded under Core Supports in your NDIS plan. To fund this, the NDIS needs evidence that you have somewhere to move into at the end of the MTA funding. 

MTA is a one off support which covers disability accommodation costs, but you need to pay for food and everyday living costs from your own income, rather than your NDIS plan.
