CarerMarket Australia is built for NDIS providers who need shifts covered without spending hours comparing profiles or chasing replies. You post the shift details. Our matching process reviews availability, skills and location, then works to connect you with a suitable support worker: screened and ready for the job.
Most providers know the drill. A shift comes up, and suddenly you're scrolling through profiles, reading bios, checking who's free, and sending messages that may or may not get a reply: all while the shift start time gets closer.
CarerMarket Australia changes the order of things. Instead of asking you to search and select, you post what you need, and we work to connect you with a suitable support worker based on availability, skills, and location.
Support workers are screened against NDIS requirements as part of onboarding, and every check-in is confirmed through GPS and a QR scan, so you have a clear, time-stamped record of who arrived, where, and when.
THE DIFFERENCE
Most shift platforms hand you a directory and call it a service. CarerMarket flips the process around, so the work of searching falls to the platform, not you.
The Old Way
The Carer Market Way
A shift ends when the worker walks out the door. The records should stay. CarerMarket keeps notes, feedback, and incident details in one place, so you find what you need in seconds.
Shift Notes: Know How It Went. Workers write a short note when they finish. You read it before you approve the shift.
Incident Reports: Log It While It's Fresh. Something unexpected happens on a shift? You or the worker file a report inside the platform. The time and details save automatically.
Feedback: Both Sides Get a Voice. Providers share how the shift went. Workers do the same. Honest input helps everyone do better work.
Worker Wallet: Your Earnings, Right Where You Can See Them. Once a provider approves your shift, your pay appears in your wallet. Check your balance any time and withdraw to your bank account when you choose.
Post your shift, and we get to work. If no support worker accepts it, we refund what you paid for that shift. You take a risk-free first step, and your roster stays covered by a platform that stands behind its matching.
THE PLATFORM
CarerMarket Australia is a shift-matching platform for the disability support sector. Rather than handing providers a directory of profiles to sort through, CarerMarket takes the shift details you post (like date, time, location, and type of support needed) and works to connect that shift with a suitable, screened support worker nearby.
The goal is simple: providers spend less time on admin and more time on the people they support.
Who It's For
For registered providers who need reliable, short-notice cover without building and maintaining their own casual roster from scratch.
For qualified support workers who meet NDIS screening requirements, looking for consistent shift opportunities as CarerMarket expands across Australia, with clear terms on how and when they're paid.

For Support Workers
Waiting a week or more to see your earnings land is one of the more frustrating parts of shift-based work. On CarerMarket, once a shift is complete and approved, Fast Support Worker Payments are typically processed within a couple of business days, with withdrawals to your bank account usually available shortly after, subject to standard processing conditions.

Verification
A verification step to make shift records more reliable.
When it is time to start a shift, the worker scans a shift-specific QR code, and GPS location is checked against the shift location. If the location does not match, the shift will not start.
GPS location is checked against the shift location.
The system verifies the worker’s QR check-in and location at the start of the shift.
QR and GPS verification form part of the shift commencement process.
Verified shift records are available through the platform workflow.
This process provides a clear, location-checked record of when a shift started, without requiring additional paperwork or manual attendance tracking.
Trust & Safety
Support workers on CarerMarket Australia are screened against NDIS requirements as part of onboarding, before they can be matched to a shift. Combined with GPS-verified QR check-ins, providers get a more complete picture of who showed up, where, and when.
CarerMarket Australia was developed through ongoing feedback from NDIS providers and independent support workers who shared common challenges around filling shifts, managing availability, and confirming attendance. The platform is designed to reduce these administrative hurdles and continues to evolve based on industry feedback and practical experience.
Built in Melbourne and expanding across Australia: post your first shift and see how CarerMarket helps cut down on profile-scrolling, slow replies, and unclear attendance records.
