Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Volker health care beds

? Where are Volker beds commonly used?

Volker beds are commonly used in higher-acuity home care, aged care facilities and hospital environments where robust, feature-rich beds are required. They are often chosen for people with complex mobility, positioning or pressure care needs, and in settings where carers need reliable equipment for frequent daily use.

? What makes Volker beds different to basic hospital beds?

Volker beds usually offer advanced positioning options, high-quality components and thoughtful design features for both the person in bed and their carers. This can include smooth electric adjustments, integrated side rail designs, strong frames, quiet motors and options for different head and foot boards and accessories. The goal is to combine reliability, comfort and safer manual handling in one system.

? Are Volker beds suitable for home use?

Yes. Many families choose Volker beds for long-term complex care at home, provided the home has enough space, appropriate access and safe power outlets. Doorway widths, flooring, turning space for wheelchairs or hoists and carer access around the bed should all be checked. Our team can help you plan room layout and delivery so the bed works safely in your home environment.

? Can Volker beds be customised?

Yes. Different Volker models offer a range of configurations, accessories and finishes. Options can include rail styles, head and foot boards, lighting, extensions, mattress types and other accessories. Our team can work with you and your therapists to select a setup that meets clinical, environmental and aesthetic needs, and you can review technical details in our product catalogues .

? How do I know if I need a Volker bed or a standard hospital bed?

Volker beds are often chosen when complex positioning, high reliability and intensive carer use are expected, or where premium features and finishes are desired. A standard hospital bed may be suitable for lower-acuity needs or short-term use. An allied health professional can assess mobility, pressure care risk, manual handling tasks and falls history, then recommend whether a Volker bed or another style of bed is the most appropriate option.

? Can Volker beds be funded through the NDIS?

In many cases, Volker beds and compatible mattresses are funded as assistive technology under the NDIS when they are recommended by an allied health professional and clearly linked to goals such as safer positioning, easier care and remaining at home. Because of their advanced features, they often fall into higher assistive technology categories and may require detailed assessments, trials and quotes. For more information on assistive technology, you can visit the NDIS page on assistive technology explained . We can provide specifications, quotes and invoices for participants, support coordinators and plan managers.

? Do you hire Volker beds as well as sell them?

Depending on stock levels and clinical advice, some high-specification beds may be available for short-term hire through our dedicated hire service. This can be useful during trials, after hospital discharge or while funding is being arranged. Current hire options and availability are listed at https://hire.shhc.com.au/ . If you are unsure whether a Volker bed is the right fit, or you need help checking measurements and access, please contact our team with details from your therapist or care team so we can support you with the next steps.
