Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will I need to commit?

The time commitment varies depending on the young person’s needs and the level of support required. Some young people are quite independent and require minimal practical support, while others may need more guidance with daily living skills. We’ll discuss expectations thoroughly during the matching process.

What happens if a placement isn’t working out?

We understand that sometimes, despite best efforts, placements may not work as anticipated. We have clear procedures in place for addressing concerns and, if necessary, ending placements in a planned, supportive way that minimises disruption for all involved.

Will I receive ongoing support once a young person moves in?

Absolutely. Your dedicated support coordinator will maintain regular contact through scheduled visits and phone calls. Additionally, we provide 24/7 emergency support should any urgent situations arise.
