What is the difference between STA and MTA?

Both short-term accommodation and medium-term accommodation can be considered as a home away from home for a pre-determined period of time. STA is funded by the NDIS for 14 days at a time and can be used if you want to try something new, if your family is on vacation or if your caregiver is away. MTA can be used for up to 90 days and is usually for people who are waiting for permanent accommodation or supports to become available. We provide both STA and MTA at our rental properties in Victoria.

I already have a home – can you provide SIL in my current property?

Yes! Nima Care offers supported independent living (SIL) supports in participants’ homes to help you live more independently while having your individual disability requirements met.

Can you organise to have a home built to my needs from scratch?

Yes, Nima Care can source and manage the build of a fully accessible NDIS-funded home from scratch. If your disability prevents you from living in standard accommodation, we will source experienced builders to create the ideal specialist disability accommodation (SDA) for you with the support features that you need such as wheelchair ramps, wide doorways, bathroom safety rails and more.

I am just exiting the justice system – can you help me find somewhere to live?

Nima Care has expertise in justice-related supports, so we are perfectly positioned to help all NDIS participants who are transitioning from the justice system back into society. We help NDIS-funded inmates who are leaving the system to find suitable housing solutions.

How do I obtain NDIS funding for accommodation?

The first step is to apply to the NDIS if you are not already a participant. An assessment will be done to determine the extent of your needs, and the NDIS will decide how much funding you are eligible for based on your specific requirements and the intensity level of your disability. If you are already a participant and your needs have changed, speak to your provider or the NDIA about adjusting your plan to include accommodation supports.

Can you help me with a temporary accommodation solution while my permanent home is being built?

Yes! Nima Care offers comfortable medium-term accommodation for just this purpose. You can stay in one of our rental properties for up to three months, funded by the NDIS, while your home is being built.

Can you assist with accommodation and tenancy issues?

We can help with all your accommodation & tenancy requirements. This is an NDIS-funded support that helps you find and keep accommodation that is well-suited to your individual disability support needs. From short-term to permanent accommodation, we can help you find a place to stay, understand contracts, complete application forms and stay up to date with payments. We can also help to facilitate communication between participants and landlords or housemates if needed.

What are my next steps to securing accommodation?
