You did the training. Now use it for your own business instead of someone else's.
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. Burnout-free caring
Trade rushed facility rounds for one-to-one work where you can actually sit down and talk with someone.
2. Your qualification works for you
The same skills, billed by you rather than an operator.
3. You control the physical toll
Everyday support lets you choose work that suits your body — transport, meals, social support — and leave the heavy tasks to someone trained for them.
4. Better money per hour worked
Facility wages sit around $32–$36 an hour; the funded rates for everyday support reach $60.10–$73.58. That's gross billing — insurance, tax and costs come out of it.
5. Real numbers to look at
Actual invoices and startup steps from a working Tasmanian 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.
