    Register to be contacted

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 176 requests that stated how the support would be paid for, 38% were NDIS plan-managed, 34% were funded by a Home Care Package or Support at Home and 11% were CHSP-funded. 75 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.

Responses and competition across Queensland

Carevo sent out 186 of these requests. A provider responded to 176 and an independent worker responded to 29. No independent worker responded to the other 157; a provider responded to 150 of those. 7 (4%) 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 overnight carer 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.

What overnight carer pay looks like

Overnight carers are paid under the SCHADS Award home care or disability stream on two different bases: a sleepover shift attracts a flat sleepover allowance plus hourly payment for any time actually worked when woken, while an active overnight (awake) shift is paid hourly with a night shift loading on top of the base rate. Confirm which basis applies before accepting a shift.

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.

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.

Working for yourself

If you plan to take on participants directly rather than joining a provider team, these guides cover the practical side.
