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 New South Wales is funded

Of the 83 requests that stated how the support would be paid for, 31% were NDIS plan-managed, 23% were funded by a Home Care Package or Support at Home and 18% were privately funded. 34 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. The 4 agency-managed requests can only be delivered by a registered NDIS provider. Privately funded requests (18%) have no price limit or funding rules: the rate is whatever you and the client agree.

Carevo sent out 89 of these requests. A provider responded to 78 and an independent worker responded to 17. No independent worker responded to the other 72; a provider responded to 62 of those. 10 (11%) 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.

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.

What transport driver pay looks like

Community transport drivers employed by NDIS and aged care providers are commonly paid under the SCHADS Award home care stream, typically at Level 1 to 2 depending on duties and any care responsibilities. Independent contractors (ABN) set their own rates with the provider or participant and are not covered by award minimums.

Casual employees receive a 25% loading on the ordinary rate (about $34 to $44 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

$27.28–$34.42

an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, home care employee, Level 1 to 2, 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.
