The services asked for most were therapy, personal care and nursing. The suburbs with the most were Sydney (12), Kensington (3), Blacktown (2) and Campbelltown (2). 13 of the 36 arrived in the last 30 days.

39% of these requests were sent by the person needing care, and 31% 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. 73% asked for support to start within a week, so a quick reply counts for a lot here.

Where the requests came from

Counted from care requests submitted through Carevo between 13 August 2026 and 10 November 2026, in the service categories occupational therapist work covers. They are enquiries from people looking for support, not advertised vacancies, and some will have been filled.

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.
