Frequently Asked Questions

What is an independent support worker (NDIS)?

An independent support worker is a care professional working as a private contractor or freelancer outside an established registered provider. Many of these individuals set up community care worker businesses on their own, allowing them to work when it suits them. 

For people requiring care (like you), this could be a benefit. A personal support worker found through Support Network could be more affordable and suitable for your medical needs than a generic home carer provided by an agency. Furthermore, you have full control over when freelancers visit your home–you don’t have to abide by registered providers’ timetabling.

How does Support Network vet private carers in Bundaberg?

Support Network screens every private support worker on our platform to the highest level. Our team conducts extensive and aggressive police background checks to ensure the people providing care in your home are safe and effective. 

Support Network carers must also meet our internal professional standards. Every home support worker must have the relevant experience and qualifications to work with vulnerable adults and children. Getting this right allows us to offer a higher quality of care than many agencies since we are less willing to take on novices with minimal real-world expertise.
