How it works
Carevo is not a job board with fixed listings. You register once, and the requests near you come to you.
Register your availability
Tell us your role, the suburb you work from, how far you will travel, your availability and the checks and credentials you hold. It takes about two minutes, there is no CV to upload, and you can update any of it later as your situation changes.
You see the requests near you
Open care requests within 30 km of your suburb that match your services and funding types show on your dashboard, and each new one is emailed to you: area, needs, funding and timing, with contact details shown when you choose to contact them.
You contact the ones that fit
Choosing to contact a request shows you the contact details, and up to two workers can contact each one, so acting early helps. Providers hiring in your area can also see your profile and reach out to you directly. Either way, you decide which requests to pursue and which conversations to take.

47% of these requests were sent by the person needing care, and 37% by a family member or carer. 69% asked for support to start within a week, so a quick reply counts for a lot here.

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 Australia is funded
Of the 107 requests that stated how the support would be paid for, 34% were NDIS plan-managed, 26% were funded by a Home Care Package or Support at Home and 20% were CHSP-funded. Privately funded requests (17%) have no price limit or funding rules: the rate is whatever you and the client agree.

Responses and competition across Australia

18
had no response from any provider or worker
Carevo sent out 114 of these requests. A provider responded to 96 and an independent worker responded to 9. No independent worker responded to the other 105; a provider responded to 87 of those. 18 (16%) 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.
4 physiotherapist profiles on Carevo list a suburb across Australia. Against 118 requests in 90 days, that is about 30 requests for each profile. Profiles are self-reported and not all are active, and providers respond to the same requests.

Providers in the Carevo network
Some of the physiotherapist-relevant providers across Australia, ordered using service relevance and activity on Carevo. Register your availability and providers like these can see your profile and contact you.
What the role involves
Physiotherapists working within Carevo’s network deliver therapy to NDIS participants and aged care recipients in their homes and community settings across Australia and surrounding areas. Day to day, this means conducting initial assessments, setting functional goals with participants, and delivering hands-on treatment or exercise programs designed around each person’s individual plan.
Common clinical areas include neurological conditions such as stroke and multiple sclerosis, musculoskeletal injury, falls prevention, post-operative rehabilitation, and mobility support for people with physical disability. Because you are visiting people in their own environments, you have a real opportunity to see how conditions affect everyday life and to tailor your approach accordingly.
You might also liaise with occupational therapists, GPs, or support coordinators to make sure your treatment fits into a broader care plan. NDIS reporting and progress notes are part of the role, so strong documentation habits matter.
Who you would support
Most of your clients will be NDIS participants funding physiotherapy under their Capacity Building or Daily Activities budget, or aged care recipients receiving services through the Support at Home program. You could work with children who have cerebral palsy, adults recovering from acquired brain injury, or older Australians managing chronic pain and reduced mobility. Each client has their own goals, so no two days look the same.
How Carevo works
Carevo is not a job board with a fixed list of vacancies. It is a curated availability directory for care and health professionals.
Here is how it works. You create a profile on Carevo, listing your qualifications, clinical areas, availability, and the areas around Australia where you are willing to work. Carevo then presents your profile to NDIS providers, aged care organisations, and other registered services in our network that are actively looking for physiotherapy support.
When a provider finds your profile and thinks you are a good fit, they contact you directly. You review the arrangement, ask your own questions, and decide whether to take it on. You stay in control of what you accept. Participants and families who arrange their own support reach out the same way.
There are no application forms to fill out for specific vacancies. You register once and let interested providers come to you.
Pay and working arrangements
Pay rates for NDIS and aged care physiotherapy vary depending on your qualifications, years of experience, whether you are employed directly by a provider or contracting independently, and the specific funding line involved. Carevo does not set or guarantee pay rates. When a provider contacts you, that is the right time to discuss terms.
What providers look for
The experience and qualities providers in the Carevo network look for in a physiotherapist.
Checks and credentials
The checks and credentials providers ask for in physiotherapist work, with indicative cost and timing. Which ones apply depends on the provider (registered or unregistered NDIS, or aged care), whether the role is risk-assessed, and your state. You can register your availability with Carevo before every check is finalised.
Annual registration around $211 · Renewed annually, must remain current
Varies by state, $112 (NSW) to $163 (ACT) · Valid 5 years Australia-wide; no unit publishes a guaranteed turnaround (Victoria quotes up to 3 weeks after employer verification)
Varies, around $50 to $80 · Valid 3 years (renewed by employers), often issued within days
Free · Online, around 90 minutes
University degree, varies (Commonwealth supported places available) · Typically 4 years full-time
Around $90 to $160 · 1-day course, valid 3 years (refresh CPR every 12 months)
Around $100 to $500 per year (often via employer or association) · Renewed annually
What physiotherapist pay looks like
Physiotherapists are degree-qualified; the Health Professionals and Support Services Award sets the minimum but most are paid above award on individual agreements, so these figures are indicative market ranges rather than fixed award rates.
$0 to $120 an hour
| Weekday | $38 to $60 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $57 to $90 an hour |
| Sunday | $67 to $105 an hour |
| Public holiday | $76 to $120 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on award minimum rates; most allied health professionals work weekdays and are paid an annual above-award salary rather than hourly penalty rates.
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 Health Professionals and Support Services Award (MA000027), reviewed July 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.
How getting care work compares
Most care workers find work by searching a job board or signing on with an agency. Carevo works differently: you register once, the care requests near you come to your dashboard and inbox, and you choose which to contact. Providers hiring can contact you as well.
| Job board | Care agency | Carevo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you get work | Search listings and apply to each one | The agency offers you shifts as they arise | Register once; see the requests near you and contact the ones you want. Providers can contact you too |
| Who sets the arrangement | The provider you apply to | The agency, usually as a casual employee | You and the provider or participant, agreed directly |
| Ongoing effort | Keep searching and applying as listings expire | Stay available for shift offers | Keep your profile and availability current |
| Choice over work | You choose what to apply for | You can decline the shifts the agency offers | You choose which offers to take up |
| Cost to you | Free | Free to you; the agency takes a margin on your rate | Free to register; no cut of your pay |
| Main trade-off | Time spent searching; listings can be out of date | Less say over which provider or client you get | Depends on demand for care near you |
Working for yourself
If you plan to take on participants directly rather than joining a provider team, these guides cover the practical side.
Frequently asked questions
Does Carevo have physiotherapist jobs I can apply for?
Carevo is not a traditional job board. Instead of applying for fixed listings, you register your availability and credentials once. Real care requests within 30 km of your suburb that match your services and funding appear on your dashboard and are emailed to you as they arrive. You contact the ones that fit, and the contact details are shown when you do. Providers hiring physiotherapists can also see your profile and contact you.
Does it cost anything?
Creating a profile and seeing the requests near you is free. To contact a request you need the Support Worker Plan: $99 a month (ex GST) for up to 5 contacts a month, with a 7-day free trial. Carevo charges no commission and takes no cut of what you earn.
What do I need to start physiotherapist work?
Most providers ask for a current Police Check and an NDIS Worker Screening Check (the screening check is legally required for risk-assessed roles with registered NDIS providers, and widely requested otherwise), plus any role-specific licences or qualifications. You can register your interest before every check is finalised and let providers know what is still in progress.
How soon will I see requests?
As soon as your profile is live: open requests near you that match your services and funding are on your dashboard immediately, and new ones are emailed to you when they arrive. How many there are depends on demand in your area. Providers hiring may also contact you, on their own timing.
Do I have to take every request?
No. You choose which requests to contact and which providers to talk to. Registering simply shows you the requests near you and makes you visible to providers seeking workers near you.
