Safe, supported transitional accommodation while your long-term home is being prepared.
NDIS Medium Term Accommodation across Metropolitan Melbourne, Bendigo and regional Victoria.
MTA provides a safe place to stay when your long-term home is not yet ready.
Common situations include:
Medium Term Accommodation is NDIS-funded transitional accommodation for participants who cannot move into their long-term home yet because their disability supports are not ready. It is typically funded for up to 90 days as a once-off support and is included as part of your broader home and living support needs.
NDIS Eligibility
Note: Eligibility for MTA is determined by the NDIS based on your individual circumstances. If you're unsure whether MTA applies to your situation, speak with your Support Coordinator or contact the NDIS directly.
Funding Scope
MTA funding covers the cost of the accommodation (rental cost) for the duration of your temporary stay.
What It Is Not
Your support coordinator, hospital team, or family contacts Myxa. We confirm capacity quickly and assess whether we can meet your specific needs during the MTA period. If we can proceed, we move to planning. If we cannot, we tell you directly so you can explore other options without delay.
Before you arrive, we gather information from you, your family or representatives, your support coordinator, and any allied health professionals involved. We prepare the environment, match staff to your needs, and develop your Support Plan. Your transition is managed carefully, with the aim of keeping you safe and informed from the start.
You receive 24/7 support under the Myxa Framework: consistent staffing, structured oversight from your House Supervisor and SIL Manager, and support tailored to your needs. During this period, we also collect structured evidence of your support needs, daily routines, and progress, which can inform your next NDIS plan review and long-term support planning.
Transition planning begins early in your stay, not at the end. We work with you, your family or representatives, your support coordinator, and allied health professionals to plan your move to long-term accommodation. This may include moving into a Myxa SIL home, an SDA property, or returning home with appropriate supports in place.

MTA is often a stressful period of transition. Clear communication with everyone involved makes it safer and smoother.
James is a participant with an acquired brain injury and complex physical support needs. After a prolonged hospital stay, he was medically ready for discharge but had no suitable accommodation in place. His support coordinator contacted Myxa.
James moved into a Myxa MTA property while his long-term housing was arranged. During his stay, he received 24/7 support under the Myxa Framework, including High Intensity Daily Personal Activities delivered by trained support workers under clinical direction.
Throughout the 90-day period, Myxa's team focused on two things: providing James with safe, stable, consistent support in his transitional home, and working with his support coordinator and allied health team to plan his permanent move.
During the stay, structured evidence was collected about James's actual support needs, daily routines, and the level of assistance he required. This evidence proved valuable: James's initial NDIS plan included SIL funding at a 1:3 support ratio, but the real-world data demonstrated he required a 1:2 ratio. The evidence supported a successful application that reflected his actual needs.
Working with his support coordinator, Myxa identified a suitable SDA property closer to his family. James was successfully matched with another participant for shared living within a High Physical Support home.
Whether you are waiting for permanent housing, being discharged from hospital, or navigating an unplanned transition, we are here to talk.
