Checks

How this list is ordered: by profile substance (self-reported checks and credentials, weighted toward the NDIS Worker Screening Check, a photo and a completed profile, the practical details shown on each card, experience up to ten years, and how recently the worker joined) blended with distance from Footscray; workers whose stated travel range does not reach Footscray appear last. Payment plays no part in ordering, higher placement is not a recommendation, and everything a worker reports remains self-reported unless marked otherwise.

Families never pay Carevo. Providers pay a subscription to connect with families, with no commission or paid ranking. How Carevo works

How it works

01

Tell us what you need

Describe the support you want in Footscray, where you need it, and when. You only fill this in once, and it takes about a minute. There is no obligation and nothing to pay.

02

Matched workers claim it

Carevo shares your request with matched independent transport drivers nearby, and with agencies where you want them. Anyone interested connects and reaches out to you, so several people can respond, not just one.

03

You choose who to talk to

You end up with a shortlist of people who actually want the work. Talk only to the ones you choose, and agree the arrangement between you.

Since Carevo launched, 100+ requests for transport have been submitted through Carevo across Victoria. How we calculate our numbers

What it costs

Ask for a quote that separates transport fares, distance, waiting time and any disability support during the trip. Standalone transport and transport within a support shift have different funding arrangements; confirm the applicable item with your plan manager or the NDIA.

Carevo does not set, take a cut of, or guarantee any rate.

Who can use this

Funding type Hire directly? Notes
Self-managed NDIS Subject to support rules You may engage the worker directly where the support allows it. Mandatory registration rules still apply.
Plan-managed NDIS Subject to support rules Confirm eligibility, price limits and registration requirements with your plan manager before booking.
Agency-managed (NDIA-managed) Only if NDIS registered Use registered providers in Footscray.
Support at Home (aged care) Ask your provider Funds run through your Support at Home provider; ask them first.
Private payment Yes NDIS funding rules do not apply, but normal tax, insurance, safety and any employment obligations still do.

Before you hire

  • Sight the worker's checks yourself: the NDIS Worker Screening Check (an ongoing clearance; a police check is a point-in-time record search, not a substitute), plus a Working with Children Check where relevant. Everything on a profile is self-reported.
  • Confirm their ABN and insurance, and ask for two references you can call.
  • Agree rate, hours and cancellation terms in writing before the first shift.

Full checklist, rate table and the independent-vs-provider comparison: hiring safely guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many independent transport drivers work near Footscray?

31 independent transport drivers within about 30 km of Footscray are registered on Carevo, 28 of them reporting checks and credentials. All profile details are supplied by the workers themselves.

Can I use my funding to pay an individual worker?

Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants can engage individual workers directly where the specific support and registration rules allow it. Agency-managed budgets can only pay registered providers. In aged care, Support at Home (which replaced the Home Care Packages Program on 1 November 2025) funds run through your Support at Home provider, so ask them first. Check with your plan manager before you start.

Are these workers vetted by Carevo?

No. Checks and credentials are self-reported by each worker; Carevo has not sighted or verified them, and a listing is not an endorsement. Sight the documents yourself and ask for references before engaging anyone.
