Everyday support doesn't need your overseas qualification recognised. It needs you.
If that's you, here it is straight: what the work actually involves, what it pays, what it costs to set up, and how to start — from someone running the same business, part-time, in regional Tasmania.
1. No degree needed for everyday support
What you already know is what the work needs.
2. A way out of underpaid work
Away from cleaning and kitchen shifts and into something that uses your actual skills.
3. Serve your own community
Families who value your work ethic and your cultural understanding.
4. A simple, legal setup
Police check, first aid, an ABN. (Working rights are separate — check your own visa conditions before you start.)
5. Real examples
Actual invoices and financials from a regional Australian care business.
Where to go next
Being straight with you. The hourly figures on this page are the billing rates from the official NDIS Pricing Schedule — the most that can be charged for that support. They're gross revenue, not take-home. Insurance, tax, super, travel and your own time all come out of it. And the income examples are Cathy's real numbers, not a promise about yours.
The free training is below — it's the honest version of how this works, in plain language, with nothing to buy at the end.
