Cathy
"I built a real care business in a small town on the east coast of Tasmania — part-time, on my own terms, around my family. These are my real numbers, straight from my own invoices. My care business is on track for about $94,000 a year$47,000 in my first six months, around $75 an hour, about 23 hours a week. Gross, not take-home, and an example, not a promise. But it's real, and I'm not afraid to show you."

Real MYOB item sales report from Cathy's own books — $47,060.52 over six months

Proof, not a promise — a real report from my own books. MYOB item sales, 1 March – 31 August 2026: $47,060.52 in NDIS client revenue across six months. Gross (before costs), and a real example of what happened for me — not a guarantee for you.

From the person who built it

I built this caring for my mum.

"The kind of people who are perfect for this work are already doing it — they just don't call it anything. We're going to turn what you already know into something you get paid for."

Hi, I'm Cathy. I run a real support business in regional Tasmania, I've lived the "university of life", and I built this to help people like you earn well — on your own terms.
