Independent living
There's always something that needs to be done so it’s comforting to know you can get help with these functions and maintain your independence.
You may need help with transport to go out and perform errands like visiting the bank, going to the doctor or picking up your new glasses.
Your Independent Support Worker can even do your shopping for you and put your groceries away. Mable has a solution for all the little – and not so little – tasks that need to be done.
Government funded?
We’ve got you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for in a support worker?
Before booking a support worker, is the support worker willing to connect with you beforehand to learn more about yourself and your support requirements? Bringing a support worker into your life is a tremendous responsibility for the worker, and their willingness to get to know you is a show of respect. Depending on the area of support you are searching for, qualifications may be needed by the worker, which should be shared with you upon request. Personal qualities like reliability, honesty and flexibility are also important for workers to show you.
How to choose the right support worker?
Mable’s platform gives you resources and support to help you choose support workers best suited to you. Posting a job on Mable means you can describe precisely what you are looking for from workers, while our platform also alerts nearby workers who match your criteria. We offer free messaging, phone and video calls through our secure platform, so you can get to know workers before choosing whether to book a trial session with them. Our Australian-based Client Support Team is also available with you for any questions you have throughout your journey with us.
What are five important personal qualities of a support worker?
Respect: Support workers should respect you as an equal, dedicated to providing you with respectful support to help you achieve your goals. Workers should show genuine respect for your feelings, culture and religion.
Reliability: Welcoming support workers into your life is a significant decision. Knowing these workers are reliable to be on time, prepared and focused on your support gives peace of mind.
Communication: From using Mable’s platform to send messages or make phone or video calls (link), through to in-person verbal and non-verbal language, communication is a crucial support worker quality in maximising the quality of support provided.
Patience: It takes time for a client and worker’s professional relationship to build. Things like getting stuck in traffic on the way to a community event, or taking a little extra time to eat a meal also require patience and understanding from support workers.
Flexibility: Clients search for workers who are flexible in providing support based on their schedule and lifestyle. Flexibility from workers while delivering support also means the ability to adapt if something happens before or during a session, for example if wet weather means a planned trip to the beach is no longer possible, the worker is flexible to shift to a suitable indoor activity session.
