Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly do providers respond to enquiries in Perth?

Based on 796 accepted enquiries on Carevo in Perth, providers accept enquiry details with a median of 4 minutes. 69% of enquiries in Perth have enquiry details accepted within 1 hour, and 87% within 24 hours. This covers every service in Perth, so it differs from the personal care figure below.

How many personal care providers are there in Perth?

There are currently 447 personal care providers serving Perth listed on Carevo. These include NDIS registered providers, aged care approved providers, and independent care organisations.

How much do personal care services cost in Perth?

Personal care rates in Perth typically range from $50-$90/hour (NDIS / Support at Home subsidised rates available). Rates depend on the time of day, day of the week, and the tasks involved. Evening, weekend, and public holiday rates are higher. NDIS participants should check the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements for maximum allowable rates.

Can I choose a carer of a specific gender?

Yes. Most providers will accommodate a preference for a female or male carer, particularly for intimate personal care tasks. Let the provider know your preference at the time of enquiry so they can match you appropriately.

What qualifications should a personal care worker have?

A personal care worker should hold a current NDIS Worker Screening Check or equivalent state check, along with current First Aid and CPR certification. Many hold a Certificate III in Individual Support or a related qualification. For tasks involving medication administration or complex health care needs, additional training is required.

Can personal care be funded through my NDIS plan?

Yes. Personal care is funded under NDIS Core Supports in the "Assistance with Daily Life" category. Your plan needs funding in this budget category. If you are unsure whether your plan covers personal care, speak with your plan manager or support coordinator.

How quickly can I get a personal care worker in Perth?

Start times vary by provider and area, so ask each provider for its current wait time. For urgent or short-term needs, some providers offer faster placement or can arrange temporary cover while a longer-term arrangement is set up.

Can I use a Home Care Package to pay for personal care?

Yes. Personal care is one of the primary services funded under Home Care Packages at all levels. Your package coordinator can help allocate funds toward personal care and arrange a provider. The number of hours available depends on your package level and other services you receive.

What happens if I am not happy with my personal care provider?

You have the right to change providers at any time. NDIS participants can switch providers by giving notice as outlined in their service agreement. Home Care Package holders can also change providers, though the package may need to be transferred, which takes some administrative time. Carevo can help you find an alternative provider in Perth.

How Much Do Personal Care Services Cost in Perth?

Personal care rates in Perth typically range from $50-$90/hour (NDIS / Support at Home subsidised rates available). The rate depends on the provider, the time of day, the day of the week, and the level of support required. Providers charge higher rates for evening, weekend, and public holiday shifts.

For NDIS participants, the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits set maximum hourly rates for registered providers. These rates apply to personal care delivered under Core Supports. Self-managed participants can negotiate directly with any provider, including unregistered ones. Plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants must use registered providers who stay within the price limits.

Home Care Package holders access personal care as a standard service under their package budget. The hourly rate varies by provider and package level. Your package coordinator manages the budget and can help you understand how many hours your funding covers.

Private clients pay market rates comparable to NDIS rates. Some providers offer reduced rates for regular, ongoing bookings or for clients who purchase a block of hours in advance.

Time	Indicative rate
Standard weekday	$50 - $65/hr
Evenings (after 8pm)	$60 - $75/hr
Saturday	$65 - $85/hr
Sunday	$75 - $90/hr
Public holiday	$85 - $110/hr

Rates are indicative and vary by provider. NDIS participants should refer to the current NDIS Pricing Schedule for maximum allowable rates. Rates shown exclude provider travel costs, which may be charged separately.

How to Pay for Personal Care Services in Perth

Personal care services in Perth can be funded through several government programs or paid for privately. The right option depends on your age, disability status, and existing funding arrangements.

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme): Personal care falls under NDIS Core Supports, specifically the "Assistance with Daily Life" support category. Your NDIS plan needs funding in this category. Self-managed participants can engage any provider. Plan-managed participants can use registered or unregistered providers through their plan manager. NDIA-managed participants must use NDIS registered providers.

Home Care Packages (HCP): If you hold a Level 1 to 4 Home Care Package, personal care is one of the core services you can access with your package funds. Your package coordinator will arrange the service and manage the budget. Higher package levels provide more funding and more support hours each week.

Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA): Veterans holding a DVA Gold or White Card may be eligible for personal care services under DVA community nursing or attendant care programs. Contact DVA or speak with a provider experienced in DVA funding to check your entitlements.

Private payment: All providers accept private clients. This gives you maximum flexibility in selecting a provider and scheduling times, with no funding approval or waiting list involved. Rates are similar to NDIS rates and some providers offer discounts for regular bookings.

What to Expect from Personal Care Services in Perth

Personal care services cover assistance with tasks related to personal hygiene, grooming, dressing, continence management, and mobility. Providers deliver these services in your home or other care settings, working to your routines and preferences.

The process begins with an initial assessment or consultation. A provider representative will discuss the tasks you need help with, your preferred schedule, any specific requirements around gender or language, and your personal routines. This helps the provider match you with an appropriate carer.

Once matched, your carer will typically do an introductory visit before regular services begin. This visit gives you a chance to get to know each other, walk through your home, and confirm how you like tasks done. Start times vary by provider and area, so ask each provider for its current wait time.

You should expect your provider to assign a consistent carer wherever possible. Continuity matters in personal care because the work is intimate and routine-based. If your regular carer is unavailable, a good provider will arrange a briefed replacement rather than sending someone unfamiliar with your needs.

If you are not comfortable with your assigned carer or the way services are delivered, raise it with the provider promptly. Reputable providers will act on feedback quickly and offer a rematch without penalty.

How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo shows register-sourced status fields and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm the current entry yourself. Here is what each listing shows and where to check it. A listing on Carevo is not an endorsement.

NDIS registration

Listings show whether a provider reports being NDIS registered. You can confirm a provider's current registration and approved support types yourself on the NDIS Commission's public provider register.

Source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

Aged care approval

The aged care approval label is sourced from the Australian Government's My Aged Care provider register. Confirm the current entry and the services listed there before choosing a provider.

Source: My Aged Care (Department of Health and Aged Care)

ABN you can check

Most listings include the provider's Australian Business Number, shown on the profile. You can look it up on the Australian Business Register to confirm the business is registered and active.

Complaints process

If you have a concern about any provider, you can lodge a complaint with the NDIS Commission or the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission at any time. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

Western Australia Regulations & Compliance

In Western Australia, NDIS providers may be registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, and registered providers comply with the NDIS Practice Standards. Registration is mandatory only for specified supports and circumstances, such as specialist disability accommodation, plan management, and supports involving regulated restrictive practices. Self-managed and plan-managed participants may generally choose registered or unregistered providers; NDIA-managed participants must use registered providers. Aged care services are regulated by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. WA requires NDIS workers to hold a current National Police Certificate and NDIS Worker Screening Check through the WA NDIS Worker Screening Unit.

Language support in Perth

Perth has a large Mandarin-speaking community (7.6% of residents), so finding personal care services in a shared language matters here. These are the main languages spoken at home locally (ABS Census 2021). When you get matched, ask providers which of their staff speak your language and whether they can keep that worker as your regular. Interpreters are free through TIS National for NDIS appointments, and My Aged Care can arrange them for aged care assessments.

Speaker counts are persons using the language at home in this postcode. Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing 2021 (table G13). Carevo connects families with providers and does not deliver care itself.

Response figures are based on 31 personal care services requests in Perth over the last 180 days. Measured on personal care services enquiries in Perth City over the last 180 days. In that same period 96.8% of enquiries there reached at least one provider (30 of 31). That is 0.06 enquiries per provider listed across Perth City in that period (513 at the time, a wider area and an earlier date than the Perth count above). How we calculate our numbers

How we rank providers

Rankings in Perth use directory relevance and observable activity on Carevo: service match, distance, register-sourced status fields, whether an enquiry can reach the provider, and recent response and connection activity. Rankings are recalculated daily. They do not assess care quality or recommend a provider.

How this list is built. Providers shown here are registered with the NDIS for Daily Personal Activities and High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, or offer personal care.
Activity on Carevo. We measure recent actions such as connecting on an enquiry, opening its contact details, responding, and an inquirer reporting whether a connection helped. These are platform activity signals, not an assessment of the support delivered.
Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
Register-sourced status. NDIS registration fields come from the NDIS Commission provider register. Aged care approval fields come from the My Aged Care register. These statuses are ranking inputs, not Carevo endorsements, and you should confirm the current register entry before choosing a provider.
Carevo enquiries. Providers who have paused requests from us are moved down among providers with the same relevance. They stay visible and are marked as not receiving Carevo enquiries.
Recent activity. Providers active on Carevo recently (a connection, a login, or a profile update) get a small boost, the same signal shown as "Active this week" on their card. It is deliberately small: stronger relevance and condition evidence outweigh a recent login.
Local presence. Providers confirmed in Perth rank above those covering only the broader region.

What the enquiries status means

It answers one question: would a request sent through Carevo today actually reach them? It is not a rating, it is not about the provider's books, and it is not a statement about their capacity, their waiting list, or the quality of their care.

Receiving: At least one contact on their account is set up to receive new requests from us, and someone has signed in recently enough for us to say a person is there.
Not receiving: Every contact on the account has unsubscribed or paused, so we have no way to pass an enquiry on.
No status shown: We cannot tell either way, so we say nothing rather than label the provider. The account is set to receive enquiries, but nobody has signed in recently, or there are no contact details on file. It is not a negative mark, and most listings sit here.

A provider who is not receiving our enquiries may well be taking new clients directly. Providers set this themselves and can turn it back on at any time from their Carevo account or from any email we send them. Providers not receiving our enquiries are moved down the list and never hidden. It is refreshed daily, so a provider who resumes, or signs in, reappears within a day.

What the Carevo activity rating means

The Strong activity rating describes how a provider behaves on Carevo, not the care they deliver.

Where it starts: Every provider starts at a baseline of 50.
What moves it: Enquiries from the last 90 days. The strongest positive is a care seeker naming that provider as the one who helped them. The clearest negative is connecting on an enquiry and never opening the contact details.
How it is kept honest: Recalculated daily from scratch, shown only above the baseline and only with at least two scored signals, and removed automatically when either stops being true. It cannot be purchased.

It is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or an assessment of care quality, and we do not screen providers for complaints. Complaints are handled by the NDIS Commission and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. See the full activity rating methodology.
