"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."

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.
This isn't hype. It's the real, unvarnished picture of a business you can build part-time — from someone who did it.
What the same hour you're paid ~$35 for as an employee can actually bill as your own business — and the true costs.
Exactly where to start: everyday support, the safety training you need, and getting set up without a big spend.
Why people want a consistent local carer — and how that gap is your business opportunity.
The Starter Guide & 6 Week Plan: what to offer (and what to avoid), getting set up properly — structure, insurance, GST — how to set your rate, and a real 6-week plan. The genuinely useful version, not a teaser.
One payment, yours for good · the 6-week plan is inside it · it lives in your Student Hub, so you can go back to it any time
If you're still weighing it up, these might help — no sign-up needed, just the straight answers.
"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.
