SIL, MTA or STR — what is the difference?

SIL funds ongoing assistance with daily life at home; MTA may cover temporary accommodation while an eligible long-term home is not ready; STR is a short break from usual care arrangements for eligible participants. Each has different funding rules. The best next step is to check your plan and discuss your circumstances with your NDIS contact or support coordinator.


 

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

A home that feels like yours. Support that fits your life.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS-funded help or supervision with everyday tasks for people who need substantial regular support at home, often across the day and overnight. Vekara Care aims to support choice, consistency and meaningful routines in living arrangements that suit the person.


 
 

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)

A place between today and your next home.

When your long-term home is identified but not ready, Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) may provide a temporary place to stay in specific NDIS-approved circumstances. We can discuss suitable arrangements and coordinate with your chosen support network.


 

Short Term Respite (STR)

A supported break from your usual care arrangements.

Short Term Respite (STR) can provide eligible NDIS participants with disability-related support away from their usual care arrangements, helping their regular informal supports take a break. We discuss each person’s routines, accessibility, preferences and funding before making arrangements.
