It’s perfectly natural to need a little more help around the home as you get older. Tasks may have become more tiring or physically demanding, you can’t lift the heavy laundry basket like you used to and you don’t want to be out in the sun mowing the lawn.
Home help services play a vital role in helping people remain independent and living in their own home for as long as possible. With home support services available on Mable, you can have a support worker do the housework and yard work for you.
Once you’ve joined, create a job post detailing your needs or search for profiles by location and preferences. Each profile features photos, bios, skills, reviews, and rates for easy selection.
Take charge of your support: choose your services, negotiate timings and rates, and arrange a meet-and-greet (virtual or in-person) with your independent support workers before support is delivered.
Create a team of vetted support workers you trust and enjoy, with every booking on Mable’s platform, high-level insurance, access to our Trust & Safety Team, and a clear record of all interactions.

Mable is an online platform that connects NDIS or HCP recipients looking for support with independent support workers. More than 18 million hours of support have been delivered through Mable over the last 10 years, enabling hundreds of thousands of people across Australia to live their kind of independence.
Signing up to Mable is free which means you can start searching and messaging support workers today. Independent support workers on the platform set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their profile. You can discuss and agree the rate and schedule with each individual support worker before booking them.
Workers and clients agree on rates before support is delivered on Mable. The client pays this agreed rate plus 7.95%, while the independent worker receives the agreed rate less 10%.
No fees are charged until a client books a support worker and the services are delivered. All payments are made online and can be easily tracked via your timesheet and reports on your dashboard.
It depends on the level of funding your package allows, based on your individual situation. NDIS and Home Care Packages can be used towards a wide array of support services such as personal care, nursing services, mobility, transport, social engagement, help around work, study and travel goals, housework and assistance with independent living.
The federal government aims to encourage older Australians to remain independent in their own homes for as long as possible. That’s why there is an abundance of home help services to choose from. Basic housework, laundry and ironing, meal preparation and transport to appointments are all featured in home care packages.
Qualified nurses can administer medicines, change dressings, manage continence issues and take standard observations. Companionship can involve taking the older person out for lunch or to visit friends.
Mowing the lawn, feeding pets and home handyman tasks are also services that can be covered in home care packages. Find out more about what Home Care Package options you may be eligible for.

Before you invite someone into your home as an independent support worker, you want to feel comfortable about them as a person and as a provider of in-home help. If you are considering them as someone who can help with housework such as cleaning and tidying, you may not be concerned with qualifications, but more about the kind of individual they are and whether they have experience. On the Mable platform, there are personalities of all types. Some may suit you, some may not and it’s important that you find the right person to fit. You may wish to consider:
There are lots of support workers on the Mable platform who love to cook! When you book someone to do meal prep for you, they may ask you what kinds of foods you enjoy eating and plan meals around your preferences. Maybe you’re of Italian heritage and you like pasta dishes. Or maybe you’re a vegetarian who eats the odd piece of fish.
You can find an independent support worker who can make up a few dishes for you to eat over several days or cut up meats, fruits and vegetables, ready for you to do the final cooking later on. They can also do your grocery shopping and portion ingredients to freeze in single serve packs. It all comes under home help services.
