As an independent care or support worker on the Careseekers platform, you are responsible for your own tax.
Why Is This?
This is because the hourly rate you receive has been paid to you in full and you have the responsibility to pay your tax on this hourly rate.
Working as an independent contractor as a care and support worker may be new to you. Our friends at Hnry provide care and support workers on the Careseekers platform with simple and convenient solutions for completing their taxation.
What is Hnry?
Hnry is a fully digital accounting service designed specifically for independent contractors and sole traders with an ABN.

When you sign up with Hnry, you’ll get three key benefits:
1. Automatic Tax Calculations and Payments
When you join Hnry, you’ll receive your own Hnry Bank Account.
Whenever Careseekers (or any other client) pays you into this account, Hnry will:
- Instantly calculate and deduct all your taxes - including Income Tax, GST, Medicare levies, and student loan repayments
- Pay your taxes directly to the ATO
- Transfer the remaining money straight into your personal bank account
This means every payment you receive has already had tax taken care of - no more worrying about unexpected tax bills at the end of the year!
2. Tax Returns Lodged for You
As part of your Hnry service, a team of qualified accountants will:
- Review your business deductions
- Lodge all of your tax returns (including Income Tax and BAS) whenever they’re due
Hnry’s local accountants are experts in tax for sole traders and are available to answer any questions you have along the way.
3. Unlimited Access to the Hnry App
The Hnry app makes managing your work and finances simple, all in one place.
Through the app, you can:
- Snap a photo of your receipts to easily raise deductions
- Allocate percentages of your income (e.g. savings, super) each time you get paid
Generate reports and get insights into your financial performance
