Common questions

Here are the most frequently asked questions we receive about InSync.

Are there any costs or out of pocket fees?

No, there are no costs or fees to take part in the InSync program.

What is the difference between Temporary and Transitional Accommodation?

Temporary accommodation is for young people between the ages of 16-18 and provides them with 24-hour rostered staff. Transitional accommodation is for young people between the ages of 16-25 years. However, these homes are independent units or share houses that don’t have rostered staff but our team will meet with young people regularly.

Are young people expected to pay rent?

Young people in our temporary accommodation are expected to respectfully contribute to their living environment. Our transitional homes generally require a lease agreement and are suitable for independent young people who can pay rent.
