mental health support worker profiles on Carevo in the same area
In the 90 days to 12 October 2026, people within 30 km of Knoxfield submitted 7 care requests through Carevo that a mental health support worker could take on. The services asked for most were support coordination, therapy and personal care. None came from Knoxfield itself in that window. The nearest sources were Melbourne (3, 26 km away), Brighton (1, 22 km away) and Reservoir (1, 29 km away). 2 of the 7 arrived in the last 30 days.
57% of these requests were sent by the person needing care, and 29% by a support coordinator. A coordinator or plan manager often places more than one participant, so a good first job with one can lead to more. 67% asked for support to start within a week, so a quick reply counts for a lot here.

Register to see whether suitable requests are currently open. Register your profile to see them in full and contact the ones that fit (contact details are shown when you choose to contact a request, and up to two workers can contact each request).
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 mental health support worker pay looks like
Mental health support workers are generally paid under the SCHADS Award, with the rate set by classification level (commonly Level 1 to 3) and the type of support provided.
$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: mental health support worker checks and credentials, mental health support worker pay rates.
