Support Worker

Hello, nice to meet you!

We are an online platform and community for people with disability and their families, anywhere in Australia, to find, book and manage local support workers who fit their needs and share their interests.

By becoming a support worker with Hireup, you can connect with clients and other disability service providers near you. You will be able to search and message clients, and accept shifts that fit your level of expertise and schedule.

Unlike with traditional disability service providers where you are given shifts and have little say over who you support, at Hireup you will be in charge of proactively building your roster, ensuring you and the Hireup clients you connect with are always in control.
