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 domestic assistant pay looks like
Domestic assistants are usually paid under the SCHADS Award home care stream, typically at the entry classification (Level 1) covering household chores, shopping and errands.
$0 to $90 an hour
| Weekday | $27 to $33 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $40 to $49 an hour |
| Sunday | $54 to $66 an hour |
| Public holiday | $68 to $82 an hour |

How that compares, as of 1 July 2026
$27.28–$32.61
an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, home care employee, Level 1, 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)
