We have updated our job application process to include more key information upfront. This information will also be more visible and accessible for Mable clients.

This change helps to simplify the process of reviewing applications. It also provides Mable clients with more key information, so you can make a quicker decision on who the right person to work with is.

For support workers, you will now be encouraged to update your indicative rates while completing a job application.

What's changed for clients

You can now clearly view the applying support worker's indicative rates, and whether they provide some or all of the services you have requested in your job posting. You'll also be able to see key information such as their availability to work a session, and their personalised message to you regarding the specific job.

All of this information will be visible in their application summary card in Manage workers.

Please note that workers who do not provide the service can still apply for your job, however this new change will make it clearer for you to match with the right worker who can provide the services you have requested.

What's changed for independent support workers

Putting your best foot forward is key in applying for a job on Mable. As such, it is important to provide potential clients with as much important information as possible.

Indicative rates are one of the main criteria clients look for when choosing a worker. You can now update and adjust your indicative rate from within the public job application form.

You won't be able to change this once you've submitted your application, so be mindful of what rates would be suitable for this job. Indicative rates are exactly that - indicative - and you will still have a chance to negotiate your rate with your client before coming to a final agreement.

This information will be shared with the client with the rest of your application.

Post a job on Mable to explore this new feature today.

If you have any questions, please contact our Australia-based customer support team via Live Chat for quick and immediate assistance.

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
