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.

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 wherever you work: aged care worker checks and credentials, aged care worker pay rates.
