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 nursing assistant pay looks like
Nursing assistants (assistants in nursing) are paid under the Nurses Award; those working in residential aged care receive higher aged-care nursing rates that include the October 2025 work-value increase.
$0 to $80 an hour
| Weekday | $26 to $33 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $40 to $49 an hour |
| Sunday | $46 to $58 an hour |
| Public holiday | $53 to $66 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on top of these rates. Aged care employers pay at the upper end of this range from October 2025.
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 Nurses Award (MA000034), reviewed October 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: nursing assistant checks and credentials, nursing assistant pay rates.
