Miracle Hands is a reliable registered NDIS provider offering participants a temporary home away from home. Throughout their stay, we provide the highest level of care they need to live their best.

Our NDIS STA in Victoria and NSW helps clients build social and self-management skills in a supported setting. They can learn cooking, cleaning, sharing, personal care routine, and budgeting, under the guidance of trained support workers. This experience fosters self-confidence and encourages participants to come out of their comfort zone.

Who Can Access Our NDIS Short-Term Accommodation in Victoria and NSW?

Miracle Hands is the best disability services provider for NDIS household tasks in Melbourne and across Victoria. We are committed to providing dependable domestic services that account for the unique needs of each participant. Our experts will provide assistance with domestic chores that you may have trouble with, while training you to perform such tasks yourself. Our assistance with daily tasks that the individual is unable to complete on their own, includes:

  • STA:

    In an emergency or if caregivers just need a break from their daily routine, our short-term accommodation by NDIS can be beneficial. Other than that, eligible participants can access this facility for several reasons, including:

    • A crisis that can lead to a risk of homelessness

    • To receive independent living and/or capacity-building support

  • MTA:

    Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is another temporary housing arrangement we cater to. Those individuals preparing to move into a permanent house or waiting for home modifications to be completed can access this service for up to 90 days.

    To be eligible for NDIS medium-term accommodation (MTA), participants must meet the following criteria:

    • Have a long-term home to move into after the MTA

    • Can’t move to their permanent home as disability supports aren’t ready yet
