Support workers across Sydney
A support worker helps you with daily life and getting out in the community. Because they work for themselves, independent support workers in Sydney often have more say over their hours, so you can find someone who fits around your week.
- Personal care, like showering and dressing
- Help around the house and with meals
- Getting to appointments, shops and work
- Community access and social outings
- Overnight or respite support
- Building skills and independence
Sydney is big, so where your support worker lives matters. Someone based in your part of the city means shorter travel, more reliable shifts and less travel time charged to your plan. Heading out together? A NSW Companion Card can get your support worker free entry at participating venues and events.
For the full picture on what support workers do, which part of your plan pays and current price limits, see our NDIS support workers guide.
Every support worker on Solotude is checked
Before a support worker appears in search, we check their photo ID, their ABN and the NDIS Commission’s compliance records.
Many support workers also add an NDIS Worker Screening Check or a Working with Children Check. We verify those too, and you can filter your search to only see support workers who hold them. Read how it works in our Verification Policy.
