You can work for yourself via the Mable platform supporting older Australians at home and people with a disability. You decide the nursing and/or personal care services you offer, to whom, when and what you charge.
As an independent support provider on Mable, you’re running your own business. Choose the clients you work with, the services you want to provide and the hours you work
Because you are running your own business, you are free to choose the rates that you charge. You can negotiate these directly with potential clients.
We’ve got you covered. All support workers are protected by a suite of insurances (public liability, personal accident, and professional indemnity)

We’ve designed Mable to be an easy-to-use online platform. Just a simple 3-step process, and you’re in control all the way.
Create a profile that will help clients get to know you better. You’ll include your skills and experience, services, rates, availability and interests. You’ll need to provide references and we’ll need to do some checks.
Once you’re approved, people looking for support will contact you directly or you can search for jobs in your area. Together, you can agree the rates, hours and services that work for you both.
Keep track of your clients, timesheets and payments all through the Mable platform, available online and through the mobile app.
All your client agreements, timesheets, invoices, messages and records all in one place
We work on your behalf to ensure receiving payment is as seamless as possible. This includes automated invoicing and collection support.

You can obtain an ABN by applying for it through the ATO via the Australian Business Register website. There is no fee for applying but if you use a tax agent to complete an application for you they may charge for their services.
For your police check to be approved by the Mable Team, you must have a valid police check that shows you are checked for “unsupervised contact” (either direct or indirect contact with children or vulnerable people).
You will need to pay for your own police check, but once it is completed you will receive a copy and can use it for other purposes. You can also obtain police checks through state police and other Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) accredited brokers.

You will automatically be covered by insurance that Mable arranges on your behalf for all care you provide to clients that is confirmed as delivered and paid for via the Mable platform when:
The insurance policy is provided by Zurich Australian Insurance and covers professional indemnity, public liability and personal accident insurance (including journey insurance) for all Care Workers. More information on the insurance policies provided by Zurich Australia.
This provides you and your clients with important peace of mind.
It is important that you make sure all hours of services provided to your clients are accurately recorded and confirmed as delivered and paid for via the Mable platform as you will not be covered by insurance if services are not recorded as delivered and paid for through Mable.
This depends on how quickly you complete your time sheet, and the method of payment that the client is using. Care workers are only paid once the client has paid in full for the session.
If the client is paying by credit card, then payment to the care worker is usually made within 5 days of the time sheet being approved by the client. If the client is paying by direct debit, it can take up to 10 days for payment to be collected from the client and paid to the care worker once the time sheet is approved. This is due to additional processing time by the bank.
Some organisations pay by invoice which is generated by the Mable platform on your behalf. All invoices are issued with 7-day payment terms, however some organisations can take up to 30 days to pay. You may want to consider this before accepting clients that pay by invoice.
To see which payments have been collected from the client and paid to you, see your timesheet.
As an independent worker, you can set your own hourly rates and agree to these with each client. The hourly rate you can charge may be determined by several factors, such as:
Mable collects payment from clients on behalf of care workers for care delivered each week. We then deduct the 10% care worker service fee, and pay the money weekly to each care worker’s nominated bank account.
