Mable is committed to delivering the best experience for clients and support workers. For the month of July 2023, here are the new features on Mable that will make your experience of using the platform even easier.

Invoice per kilometre travel on Mable

Many support workers offer travel as part of their support services. With this feature, support workers can now invoice for their travel per kilometre (Travel Rates). Start by logging in to your Mable account.

For potential new clients, support workers must first discuss and agree on the travel rate and then add it to their agreement.

Once your client agrees to the rate, travel is added as an option when submitting your support hours for payment.

For existing clients, support workers should amend their agreement and add the travel rate option. Make sure you discuss this with your client before adding it to the agreement.

Please note the travel rate is capped at $2.76 per kilometre on Mable as per the guidance provided in the NDIS 2022-23 Price Guide.

Learn more about this feature in the Help Centre.

Discover and save jobs

This feature helps support workers find jobs that are best matched to:

The services they provide
Their distance from the client
Preference for client gender (if any)

Through the Mable app, you can also search and save jobs for you to review later. By saving the jobs, you can take your time to read and apply to the jobs that are most relevant to you.

Learn more about this feature and how you can use it to build your business on your terms. We hope these new features continue to make it easy for you to find or provide support through Mable. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Preventing everyday harm in support work

As a support worker, you want your clients to feel safe, respected and supported. You may already think carefully about how to provide safe support and prevent serious incidents. But harm is not always obvious. Sometimes, small everyday actions, words or assumptions can affect a client in ways you may not have intended or noticed at the time. This is sometimes referred to as everyday harm. Over time, these small moments can build up and may affect how respected, heard, in control or safe your client feels. The newly launched Everyday Harm website brings together practical resources to help support workers and organisations build safer, more respectful support relationships. These resources were developed through Australian Research Council studies, including interviews with people with disability about their experiences. Mable was proud to be involved in this project as an Industry and Community Partner organisation. We hope these resources help you better understand everyday harm
