Frequently Asked Questions

Who can access Voluntary Out-of-Home Care under the NDIS?

Children or young adults (under the age of 18) with disabilities can access NDIS VOOHC services. However, the funding will only be approved if they seek specialised facilities to support well-being or manage complex behavioural needs. The eligible participants can temporarily live away from their home to receive the right support or for respite.

Is Voluntary Out-of-Home Care funded by the NDIS?

No, Voluntary Out-of-Home Care (VOOHC) is not directly funded by the NDIS. VOOHC is a state-based service, where parents voluntarily place children (often with disabilities) in temporary care arrangements regulated by the Office of the Children's Guardian. While it is separate from the NDIS disability support, it works in conjunction with NDIS-funded services.

How long can someone stay in Voluntary Out-of-Home Care?

NDIS VOOHC services are temporary arrangements. The duration varies based on circumstances and funding approved for a participant. It can last from a few days to weeks or more. Get in touch with our team for further information.

Is Voluntary Out-of-Home Care the same as respite?

No, VOOHC Services differ from respite. Respite care is short-term relief for carers, while voluntary out-of-home care may involve longer transitional living arrangements.
