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 home care worker pay looks like
Home care workers providing in-home or community support are usually paid under the SCHADS Award home care stream; those working in residential aged care are instead covered by the Aged Care Award.
$0 to $100 an hour
| Weekday | $28 to $37 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $43 to $55 an hour |
| Sunday | $57 to $73 an hour |
| Public holiday | $72 to $91 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on the ordinary rate (about $36 to $46 an hour on weekdays), with casual weekend and public holiday rates of 1.75x, 2.25x and 2.75x the ordinary rate. Figures are full-time and part-time minimums for employees; independent contractors set their own rates.
How that compares, as of 1 July 2026
$28.86–$36.23
an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, home care employee, Level 2 to 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), from the Fair Work pay guide effective 1 July 2026 (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: home care worker checks and credentials, home care worker pay rates.
