What a Support Gardener Does

Gardeners working with NDIS participants and aged care clients do much the same work you would do for any residential client: mowing lawns, edging, weeding garden beds, pruning shrubs and small trees, clearing gutters, raking leaves, mulching, and keeping paths clear so the outdoor areas are safe to move through.

The difference is the context. You are helping someone maintain a home they might otherwise have to leave. For an older person in Brookvale whose mobility has declined, an overgrown yard is not just an inconvenience, it is a safety risk and a source of stress. For an NDIS participant whose disability prevents them doing physical outdoor work, a reliable gardener is part of what makes independent living possible.

Most of the gardeners who work through Carevo’s network visit the same participants regularly, typically fortnightly. You build an understanding of what each person wants from their outdoor space, which garden tasks matter most to them, and how they like to communicate.

How Carevo Works

Carevo is not a jobs board that posts open vacancies. It is a curated availability directory connecting care workers with NDIS and aged care providers across Australia.

The process is straightforward. You register your availability, experience, and current certifications with Carevo. Carevo makes your profile visible to providers in its network who are looking for gardening support near Brookvale. When a provider has a participant who needs a gardener in your area, they can view your profile and contact you directly. You then decide whether the opportunity suits your schedule and preferences.

You are not applying for one specific role. You are becoming visible to multiple providers operating in and around Brookvale at once.

What Providers Want in a Gardener

Providers working with NDIS and aged care clients look for gardeners who are reliable, communicate clearly with participants, and understand that they are working in someone’s home. Experience matters, as does the ability to take direction from participants who have strong ideas about their garden.

Your police check and NDIS Worker Screening Check need to be current. If you plan to do anything that involves basic construction or hard landscaping, a White Card is also required.
