How do I request a care worker?

If you or someone you support needs care, Careseekers makes it simple to request the right worker.
Post your job – Start by creating a job on the Careseekers platform. You’ll share details about the type of care you need (for example: personal care, transport, companionship) along with preferred times and location.

Review interested workers – Once your job is live, qualified care and support workers in your area will see it and express interest. Each worker has a profile with experience, skills, and checks completed (such as NDIS Worker Screening or police checks).

Choose who to connect with – You can message workers through the platform to discuss the role, clarify requirements, and arrange a meet-and-greet if needed.

At this point you will also have received a call or email from one of the team who will become your account manager, they can help you with shortlisting workers and can also be in touch with workers to arrange meet and greets on your behalf.

Confirm and get started – Once you’ve found the right match, you will need to fill in the compliance forms ( there are different forms depending if it is aged care, NDIS or private care), award the job which means sending them a contract for services and create the bookings. If you are wanting to keep the services flexible and adhoc, that's also ok, you can put in any bookings you already know or use the platform without bookings. 
From there, everything – including scheduling, timesheets and payments – is managed in one place for peace of mind.

In short: Requesting a care worker with Careseekers is as easy as posting your job, reviewing profiles, arranging to meet the worker and interview them and choosing the worker who feels right for you.
