How do I know if I am eligible for STA / MTA ?

MTA:To be eligible for medium term accommodation, you must meet all 3 criteria.- You have a long-term home you’ll move into after medium term accommodation.
- You can’t move into your long-term home yet because your disability supports aren’t ready.
- You can’t stay in your current accommodation while you wait for your long-term home.
There are different eligibility criteria for hospital and justice system discharge
What happens if I need to find longer term accommodation?
There are long-term accommodation options available such as supported independent living, individual living options and specialist disability accommodation.
Contact the team at RIISE to find out more about these options.
Can I bring my own support worker when I stay in STA / MTA?
The disability support provided in STA will be provided by the RIISE team, STA is often used to give your usual supports a break, so it’s a great opportunity to meet new people!
MTA does not include disability support, so you can use your usual support workers or the services of the wonderful team at RIISE.
Can I still attend my usual group activities and therapy sessions while in STA/ MTA ?
The activities that you will attend while in STA will need to be agreed upon with that provider. Staying in MTA should not interrupt your usual planned supports and activities.
