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 the work across Queensland is funded

Of the 18 requests that stated how the support would be paid for, 39% were CHSP-funded, 28% were funded by a Home Care Package or Support at Home and 17% were NDIS plan-managed. 3 were NDIS plan-managed or self-managed, the two arrangements under which a participant can choose an unregistered provider, which includes a sole trader with an ABN. Privately funded requests (17%) have no price limit or funding rules: the rate is whatever you and the client agree.

Carevo sent out 19 of these requests. A provider responded to 10 and an independent worker responded to 0. No independent worker responded to the other 19; a provider responded to 10 of those. 9 (47%) had no response from any provider or worker through Carevo. Each request goes to providers as well as workers, and up to two independent workers can contact it, so a request with no response on the day it arrives may not stay that way.

No handyperson profile on Carevo currently lists a suburb across Queensland. Providers in the area still receive the same requests.

How it works

Carevo is not a job board with fixed listings. You register once, and the requests near you come to you.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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 handyperson pay looks like

Handypersons providing home care and NDIS minor maintenance are generally paid under the SCHADS Award home care stream, typically at Level 1 to 2 depending on the skill of the work.

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 in every state: handyperson checks and credentials.
