Frequently Asked Questions

What specific personal care tasks can your support workers assist with?

Our trained staff can assist with showering, toileting, dressing, grooming, medication prompting, and transfers. We develop a detailed care plan with you to ensure all your specific needs are met respectfully and professionally.

How do you ensure the dignity and privacy of participants during sensitive personal care activities?

Dignity and privacy are our top priorities. Our workers are trained in discreet practices, always communicate what they are going to do, and follow your lead. You are in control of the process at all times.

I have complex needs requiring hoisting or two-person assists. Can Volitio accommodate this?

Yes. We have support workers trained in safe manual handling and the use of various equipment, including hoists. We can arrange for two staff members to ensure your transfers are safe and comfortable.

What happens if my regular support worker is unexpectedly unavailable?

We have a dedicated team and a pool of qualified casual staff. We will always notify you promptly and provide a fully briefed replacement to ensure consistency and continuity of your care.

Can I have the same support worker for consistency with my personal care routine?

Absolutely. We prioritise matching you with a suitable worker and then strive to maintain that relationship for continuity, trust, and comfort, as we know this is crucial for personal care.

How do your support workers manage and respect my specific cultural or religious needs during personal care?

We carefully match workers based on your cultural, religious, or gender preferences as stated in your care plan. We provide cultural competency training and always respect your specific protocols and modesty requirements.

I need help with catheter care or wound dressings. Is this something your personal care team can handle?

Yes, our team includes support workers with nursing expertise or specific clinical training to assist with complex care needs like catheter management, simple wound dressings, and diabetes care.

Can personal care support be flexible and adapt to my daily routine, or is it a fixed schedule?

We build our schedules around you. Whether your routine changes daily or you have appointments, we work flexibly to adapt your personal care support to your life.

How do you involve me in the creation and ongoing review of my personal care plan?

You are the expert in your own life. We develop your initial care plan collaboratively with you and hold regular check-ins to ensure it continues to reflect your current needs and preferences.

What training do your personal care support workers specifically receive?

All staff undergo mandatory training in First Aid, CPR, Manual Handling, Infection Control, and NDIS Code of Conduct. Many also have additional qualifications in disability, individualised support, or nursing.

If my mobility decreases and my needs become more complex, how will you adjust my support?

We proactively conduct regular risk assessments and care plan reviews. If your needs change, we will adjust your plan, provide any necessary additional training to staff, and ensure we have the right skills and equipment to support you safely.

Can personal care support be combined with other services, like community access, in the same shift?

Yes, we often combine supports. For example, a worker can assist with your morning personal care and then support you to attend an appointment or go shopping in the community, maximising your NDIS funding.

How do you ensure safety and hygiene, especially when assisting with tasks like showering or toileting?

We follow strict infection control protocols, use personal protective equipment (PPE) as required, and ensure all equipment and environments are clean and safe before use.

What is your process for handling a concern I might have about my personal care support?

We have a clear, accessible complaints process. You can speak to your worker, their coordinator, or management directly. We treat all feedback confidentially and act promptly to resolve any issue.

Can you assist with personal care that is required outside of my home, such as when travelling or on holiday?

We can discuss this possibility based on your plan. With advance notice, we may be able to arrange support for you during travel within the Canberra region or assist in coordinating care with a provider at your destination.
