Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC)
At JPlus Care Australia, our Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC) service provides care for children away from their usual home for three or more nights within a seven-day period.
SSRC may support respite, behaviour support, or care funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), depending on the individual circumstances and arrangements.
What is Specialised Substitute Residential Care
Specialised Substitute Residential Care
Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC) is an arrangement where a child receives care away from their usual home for three or more nights within a seven-day period.
SSRC may include:
- Short-term accommodation funded through the NDIS
- Respite or behaviour support
- Overnight stays in a group home or other accommodation
- Host family arrangements
- Longer-term residential care
- Camps or residential programs providing respite or behaviour support
SSRC can be arranged as a one-off or emergency service, or as regular or longer-term care. In NSW, SSRC providers are regulated under the Child Safe Scheme and must follow the relevant Code of Practice and Child Safe Standards.
