Requests are anonymised: no names, contact details or health information are stored or shown. A suburb is named only when it has at least three requests in the window; otherwise the region is shown. Who is asking and the timing are inferred from the request by Carevo's classifier, and timing is described in the past tense once a request is more than 30 days old. Regenerated from Carevo's database at each deployment. How we calculate these numbers.

How it works
Carevo is not a job board with fixed listings. You register once, and the requests near you come to you.
Register your availability
Your role, the suburb you work from, how far you will travel, your availability and the checks you hold. About two minutes, and you can change any of it later.
You see the requests near you
Open care requests within 30 km that match your services and funding types show on your dashboard, and each new one is emailed to you: area, needs, funding and timing.
You contact the ones that fit
Contact details are shown when you choose to contact a request. Up to two workers can contact each one, and providers receive the same requests, so a prompt reply helps.
What aged care worker pay looks like
Aged care workers in residential aged care are paid under the Aged Care Award direct care classifications, with rates reflecting the October 2025 work-value increase; those delivering aged care in clients' homes may instead be covered by the SCHADS Award home care stream.
$0 to $100 an hour
| Weekday | $33 to $37 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $49 to $56 an hour |
| Sunday | $57 to $65 an hour |
| Public holiday | $82 to $93 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on top of these rates (often quoted as roughly $41 to $47 an hour for ordinary casual hours).
How that compares, as of 1 July 2026
$36.22–$40.49
an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, Level 2–3 full-time (Fair Work pay guide)
$73.58
an hour · NDIS price limit for standard weekday self-care support: the most a provider can bill a participant's plan for that hour, which funds wages, on-costs and overheads. A service price cap, not a worker wage (Pricing Schedule 2026–27)
Work out your own rate with the SCHADS award tool or the pay rate calculator.
Indicative hourly rates based on the Aged Care Award (MA000018), reviewed October 2025 (Fair Work pay guides). Modern award rates are national and do not vary by state. Pay is set by each provider and can be higher under an enterprise agreement. General information only, not financial advice.
Checks, qualifications and what providers look for are the same in every state: aged care worker checks and credentials.
Working for yourself
If you plan to take on participants directly rather than joining a provider team, these guides cover the practical side.
