  • Who’s eligible for Medium Term Accommodation?
  • You may be eligible for Medium Term Accommodation if you:

     need somewhere to stay because of your disability support needs, and

     have a confirmed long term housing solution, and

     can’t move into your long-term housing solution because you’re waiting for your disability related supports to be ready. For example, you might be waiting for assistive technology or home modifications.

    We can consider Medium Term Accommodation if you need somewhere to stay:

     before your confirmed place in SDA is ready to move into

     before you can move into a house and start receiving Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding or support with activities of daily living

     before your home modifications are ready and you can move in

     after leaving hospital, rehabilitation, aged care or a custodial setting. This is where

    you need somewhere to stay while you wait for your disability supports to be ready

     because of a breakdown of your supports that mean you can’t live in your current home. You might need somewhere to stay before your disability supports are ready, and you can move into your new place.

    Remember, we need evidence you have somewhere to move into at the end of your Medium Term Accommodation funding. Otherwise, we can’t fund it.
    You can use the Medium Term Accommodation Checklist to help you get ready to talk about Medium Term Accommodation support in your plan.
    If you’re not eligible for Medium Term Accommodation, we might fund other home and living supports. Check out Housing and the NDIS for more information.

  • Why is Community Access important?
  • Community Access is an integral part of everyone’s life. Accessing your community – whether it be through work, hobbies or other social activities – helps to maintain a sense of belonging and purpose for an individual. Additionally, participating and interacting with other members of the community improves self-esteem and confidence in individuals who feel they’re unable to attend events or learn new skills.

  • Why is CRT Program so unique?
  • We provide short, medium and long term accommodation and respite for people with a disability.

    Our accommodation is supported with 24/7 medical, clinical care and a full range of supports. We also provide support and plan management in sourcing and transitioning into long term accommodation.
