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.

What gardener pay looks like
Gardeners providing home care and NDIS yard maintenance are generally paid under the SCHADS Award home care stream at the entry classification (Level 1); those employed by residential aged care facilities are covered by the Aged Care Award.
$0 to $80 an hour
| Weekday | $27 to $32 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $40 to $48 an hour |
| Sunday | $53 to $63 an hour |
| Public holiday | $66 to $79 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on top of these rates (often quoted as roughly $34 to $40 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 SCHADS Award (MA000100), reviewed July 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: gardener checks and credentials, gardener pay rates.
