NDIS Hospital
Discharge
Support.

Yes — a Registered Nurse (RN) is embedded into every placement we manage, with no separate invoice and no additional line item on the NDIS plan. The RN develops the participant's clinical care plan before arrival, supervises and trains support workers in any high-intensity tasks (such as medication management, enteral feeding, or wound care), and provides ongoing clinical oversight.

Most SIL providers either don't offer RN oversight or charge for it separately. This is one of the key reasons hospitals and support coordinators refer complex participants to MMT Care.

There is no single answer — NDIS hospital discharge is a process, not an event, and timelines vary based on the participant's plan status, the complexity of their support needs, and the availability of appropriate accommodation.

The NDIA is committed to contacting admitted participants within 4 business days of notification. From there, a planner works with the hospital's Health Liaison Officer (HLO) and the participant's support coordinator to explore home and living options. In some cases, a participant may move into Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) first while a longer-term SIL arrangement is confirmed. Our team works alongside coordinators throughout this process to reduce delays wherever possible.

MTA (Medium-Term Accommodation) is an NDIS-funded bridging option for participants who are clinically ready to leave hospital but cannot yet move into their long-term SIL or SDA arrangement. It can be funded for up to 90 days and covers accommodation costs only — personal care and other daily supports are funded separately under the participant's plan.

MTA is appropriate when there is a confirmed long-term housing solution in place but it isn't available yet — for example, while SDA approvals are being processed, home modifications are underway, or a SIL vacancy is being confirmed. MMT Care supports participants in both MTA and the transition into permanent SIL. Read the official NDIS MTA guide for full eligibility details.

SIL (Supported Independent Living) funds the support workers and clinical staff who assist a participant with daily tasks in their home. It's the people, not the building.

SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) funds the physical dwelling itself — purpose-built or modified properties that meet specific NDIS design standards for participants with very high support needs.

A participant may need SIL only, SDA only, or both. MMT Care provides SIL across its accommodation network. If a participant is likely to need SDA long-term, our team can help coordinate the evidence gathering and assessment process in parallel with the discharge.

Yes — this is where we specialise. Our SIL environments are staffed and structured to support participants with complex psychosocial needs, dual diagnosis (mental health and disability), high-intensity behavioural support requirements, and post-acute clinical care needs.

Many referrals we receive are participants that other providers have declined. Our RN-led model, structured care planning, and experienced support workers mean we can safely manage cases that require a higher level of clinical and behavioural oversight from day one.

MMT Care operates NDIS-registered SIL accommodation across Victoria (Melbourne), Queensland (Brisbane), and New South Wales (Sydney). This multi-state coverage is particularly valuable for participants whose local area has limited SIL vacancies — we work with support coordinators to explore options across all three states when needed.

To assess a referral, our clinical team will need the following where available: participant's name and NDIS number, current NDIS plan details (funding categories and amounts), a summary of support needs (behavioural, medical, psychosocial), the current hospital and expected discharge timeframe, and any existing assessments or support plans.

You don't need to have everything ready to make initial contact — submit what you have via our referral form and our team will follow up with a checklist for anything outstanding. We'll move as quickly as the NDIS process allows.

Yes. Once a participant is placed, MMT Care provides ongoing SIL support — this is not a short-term crisis service. Our RN reviews the care plan within the first week and then on a regular schedule. We provide written updates to coordinators and families at agreed intervals, and our support team is available around the clock.

We aim to build stable, long-term living arrangements for every participant we work with, and we collaborate actively with support coordinators on plan reviews, goal progress, and any changes to support needs over time.

Yes. MMT Care provides NDIS hospital discharge support across greater Sydney, including Parramatta and Liverpool — two areas with significant hospital infrastructure and frequent discharge referrals for complex NDIS participants. Our Sydney team works alongside discharge planners at Westmead, Liverpool Hospital, and other major facilities to coordinate SIL placements for participants leaving hospital.

Hospital discharge transition care in western and south-western Sydney often involves participants with complex clinical histories. Our Registered Nurse liaises directly with hospital clinical teams — including social workers, physiotherapists, and medical officers — to ensure the discharge plan into SIL is clinically sound and that support workers are prepared from the first day.

Yes. MMT Care operates hospital discharge SIL pathways in Melbourne (VIC) and Brisbane (QLD) alongside our Sydney (NSW) network. Melbourne participants discharging from major hospitals — including Royal Melbourne, The Alfred, and Monash Medical Centre — can access our Victorian SIL homes with the same RN-led transition model. In Queensland, our Brisbane team works with Princess Alexandra Hospital, Royal Brisbane and Women's, and community health liaisons across the greater Brisbane area.

For participants whose local hospital is in one state but whose preferred SIL location is in another — which happens more often than you might expect when local vacancies are limited — our multi-state network gives coordinators more workable options.
