recovery coach profiles on Carevo in the same area

In the 90 days to 12 October 2026, people across Victoria submitted 21 care requests through Carevo that a recovery coach could take on. The services asked for most were support coordination, therapy and social support. The suburbs with the most were Melbourne (3), Bendigo (2), Wangaratta (2) and Brighton (1). 6 of the 21 arrived in the last 30 days.

43% of these requests were sent by the person needing care, and 33% 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. 83% 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.

2

had an independent worker respond

0

had no response from any provider or worker

Carevo sent out 20 of these requests. A provider responded to 20 and an independent worker responded to 2. No independent worker responded to the other 18; a provider responded to 18 of those. Every one of them had at least one response. 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 recovery coach profile on Carevo currently lists a suburb across Victoria. Providers in the area still receive the same requests.

What recovery coach pay looks like

Psychosocial recovery coaches are paid under the SCHADS Award social and community services stream, typically at Level 3 to 5 depending on whether the role is based on experience or formal qualifications.

Casual employees receive a 25% loading on the ordinary rate (about $50 to $70 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.

How that compares, as of 1 July 2026

$40.49–$55.85

an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, social and community services employee, Level 3 to 5, 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 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.
