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.

podiatrist profiles on Carevo in the same area
In the 90 days to 10 November 2026, people across Australia submitted 91 care requests through Carevo that a podiatrist could take on. The services asked for most were allied health, therapy and household help. The suburbs with the most were Launceston (3), Berwick (2), Carlingford (2) and Frankston (2). 39 of the 91 arrived in the last 30 days.
39% of these requests were sent by the person needing care, and 36% by a family member or carer. 72% asked for support to start within a week, so a quick reply counts for a lot here.

79 more related care requests across Australia in the last 90 days. 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.
How the work across Australia is funded
Of the 85 requests that stated how the support would be paid for, 32% were funded by a Home Care Package or Support at Home, 26% were CHSP-funded and 22% were privately funded. Privately funded requests (22%) have no price limit or funding rules: the rate is whatever you and the client agree.

Carevo sent out 91 of these requests. A provider responded to 53 and an independent worker responded to 3. No independent worker responded to the other 88; a provider responded to 51 of those. 37 (41%) 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 podiatrist profile on Carevo currently lists a suburb across Australia. Providers in the area still receive the same requests.

How we calculate these numbers, including the difference between providers listed and providers active in the last 30 days.
Providers in the Carevo network
Some of the podiatrist-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
Podiatrists working within Carevo’s network provide foot and lower limb care to NDIS participants and aged care recipients in their homes and residential facilities across Australia and nearby areas. Rather than seeing clients in a clinic, you travel to them, which means you are assessing and treating people in their actual living environment.
Day to day, this includes general nail care, skin treatments, wound assessment and management, biomechanical assessments, orthotic prescription and fitting, and education on foot health and self-monitoring. Diabetic foot management is a significant part of the work, particularly in aged care settings, where early detection of complications can prevent serious outcomes.
You will also write clinical notes and contribute to NDIS or aged care documentation. If a client’s foot health intersects with other health concerns, you may communicate with their GP or other treating practitioners.
Who you would support
Your clients will typically be older Australians receiving services through the Support at Home program or Commonwealth Home Support Programme, and NDIS participants who have listed podiatry as a funded support. People with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, or physical disability often have significant podiatric needs that are best addressed through regular, accessible care.
Many of the people you see in Australia will not have easy access to clinic-based podiatry, so mobile service delivery makes a genuine difference to their health outcomes.
How Carevo works
Carevo is not a job board listing specific open positions. It is a curated availability directory for health and care professionals.
You create a profile on Carevo, detailing your qualifications, clinical specialisations, availability, and the areas around Australia where you are willing to travel. Carevo then shares your profile with NDIS providers, aged care operators, and support coordinators in our network who are looking for podiatry services.
When a provider sees your profile and wants to engage you, they reach out directly. You decide whether the arrangement suits you before committing to anything. There is no lengthy application process for each individual role. Register once, and let providers find you.
Pay and working arrangements
Pay and contracting arrangements vary depending on your experience, whether you operate as a sole trader or through an employment arrangement with a provider, and the specific clients involved. Carevo does not set rates. Those conversations happen directly between you and the provider who contacts you.
What providers look for
The experience and qualities providers in the Carevo network look for in a podiatrist.
Checks and credentials
The checks and credentials providers ask for in podiatrist 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 $130 to $160 · 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 podiatrist pay looks like
Podiatrists 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 $130 an hour
| Weekday | $40 to $62 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $60 to $93 an hour |
| Sunday | $70 to $109 an hour |
| Public holiday | $80 to $124 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 podiatrist 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 podiatrists 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 podiatrist 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.
