Moving From MTA to a Long-Term Home
The final part of an MTA stay is the move into the participant’s longer-term home. A structured handover can reduce disruption and make sure disability supports are ready from the first day.
Confirm the long-term home is actually ready
Before setting the move date, confirm access, essential modifications, tenancy or occupancy arrangements, utilities, equipment and any disability-related features the participant needs.
Line up support-worker arrangements
If the participant needs daily support, confirm the roster, worker introductions, shared or one-to-one support arrangements, overnight support and who will be present on the first day and night.
Transfer important support information
Move current medication information, communication preferences, behaviour-support information where relevant, health contacts, emergency procedures, meal routines and other agreed support information securely to the new team.
Plan equipment and transport
Check when mobility equipment, hoists, bedding, personal items and transport arrangements will move. Avoid a gap where the participant arrives before essential equipment or support is available.
Review after the move
The first few days may reveal small problems that were not obvious beforehand. A planned follow-up with the participant and relevant supporters can help adjust routines while preserving choice and independence.

Frequently asked questions
When should transition planning start?
Ideally before the final move date is fixed, so accommodation, equipment, support workers and daily routines can be coordinated rather than arranged after the participant arrives.
What information should follow the participant?
Only information that is needed and authorised should be shared, such as current support needs, communication preferences, medication processes, safety information and key contacts.
Does moving out of MTA automatically mean SIL?
No. The participant’s longer-term arrangement depends on their approved home-and-living supports and individual circumstances.
