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.

No independent worker responded to the other 121; a provider responded to 118 of those. 3 (2%) had no response from any provider or worker through Carevo.

How it works

Carevo is not a job board with fixed listings. You register once, and the requests near you come to you.

01

Register your availability

Your role, the suburb you work from, how far you will travel, your availability and the checks you hold. About two minutes, and you can change any of it later.

02

You see the requests near you

Open care requests within 30 km that match your services and funding types show on your dashboard, and each new one is emailed to you: area, needs, funding and timing.

03

You contact the ones that fit

Contact details are shown when you choose to contact a request. Up to two workers can contact each one, and providers receive the same requests, so a prompt reply helps.

What support worker pay looks like

Support workers are generally paid under the SCHADS Award, with the rate set by classification level (commonly Level 1 to 3) and the type of support provided.

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.

How that compares, as of 1 July 2026

$28.86–$36.23

an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, home care employee, Level 2 to 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 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.

Checks, qualifications and what providers look for are the same in every state: support worker checks and credentials.
