Free for seekers, affordable pricing for providers.
Solotude is free for participants, families, informal supports and support coordinators. Providers pay a flat weekly subscription starting at $9 a week per profile. There is no commission, no booking fee, no lead fee and no cut of anything you earn. You can cancel at any time, and your subscription is a tax deductible business expense.
If you are a participant, a family member, an informal support or a support coordinator, Solotude costs nothing.
Free to join. Free to search. Free to post unlimited jobs. Free to message providers. Free forever.
Every dollar in an NDIS plan should go to the support itself, not to a platform sitting in the middle of it.
Sign up as a seekerSolotude has launched in Greater Sydney. That is the area we are operating in right now, that is where our participants, families and support coordinators are, and that is where jobs are being posted today.
If you work anywhere across Greater Sydney, from the inner city and the inner west to the north shore, the eastern suburbs, the south, the hills, western and south-west Sydney, the northern beaches, Macarthur and the Blue Mountains, this is the market Solotude was built for first. Get your profile up and be findable in your own suburb.
Greater Sydney first, then expanding. You can sign up from anywhere in Australia, and when jobs are posted in your area and your profession we will notify you.
Every plan gives you a verified public listing in Solotude search and a daily allowance of job applications. The higher plans add the tools that help you win the work.

On every plan.
Your profile is live in Solotude search with your photo, your bio, your qualifications, your service areas, your availability and your rates, and it shows exactly which credentials Solotude has verified. It works while you sleep. Someone searching for your profession in your suburb at 11pm on a Sunday can find you and message you, and the enquiry is waiting for you in the morning.
On every plan. 5 a day on Plus, 10 on Pro, unlimited on Premium.
This is your outbound limit, not your inbound one. Enquiries always reach you. The cap is only on how many job applications you send per day.
On Pro and Premium.
Participants, families and support coordinators post jobs describing the support they need. When a job matches your profession and your service area, we send you an email telling you a job has been posted. You log in to Solotude to read the full job and apply for it there. You choose whether to apply. Nothing is assigned to you, and nothing is sent on your behalf.
On Pro and Premium.
You get to see how much interest your profile is actually attracting: how many people have viewed it, how that is trending week to week, and how many of those views turned into an enquiry.
That matters because a profile is a shop window. If plenty of people are looking but nobody is messaging, the problem is usually your photo, your bio or your rates, and you can fix it. If nobody is looking at all, the problem is your service areas or your professions. Either way you are making decisions on numbers instead of guessing why the phone is quiet.
On Premium.
Every subscribed profile ranks above unsubscribed profiles in search. Premium profiles rank highest of all. There is no auction and no bidding for individual positions: the ranking follows your plan.
On Premium.
A response within 24 hours, not the standard two to three business days. Questions about verification, your profile or your account go to a person, not a form.
The honest answer is that we are a discovery platform, not a middleman.
Other platforms take a percentage because they insert themselves into the work. They run the booking, the timesheet, the invoice and sometimes the employment relationship, and every one of those steps costs them money on every hour you deliver. So they charge you on every hour you deliver.
Solotude works differently. Our job is to put you in front of the right person and let you talk safely, and we have built that to run brilliantly at scale. Your rates, your schedule and your client relationship stay yours, which means we can charge one small flat fee instead of taking a slice of your income for the life of every client you meet here.
That also means our incentives point the same way as yours. A commission platform earns more when you work more, whether or not it did anything to make that happen. We only keep your $13 a week if you keep finding work worth paying for. If Solotude stops delivering enquiries, you cancel, and we deserve to lose you.
One ongoing client at two hours a week, at a $58 hourly rate, is about $6,000 of income a year. Pro costs $676 a year.
Put differently, a single two hour shift a week earns $116, which covers your Pro subscription nine times over. The subscription is not a marketing budget. It is roughly the cost of a coffee and a sandwich, once a week, to be findable by everyone in your area who is actively looking for exactly what you do.
Take a support worker delivering 20 hours a week at a $58 agreed hourly rate.
| Commission marketplace | Solotude Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| What the provider is charged | 10% of the agreed rate, deducted from every hour | $13 a week, flat |
| What the provider loses per hour | $5.80 | $0 |
| Cost over a year | $6,032 | $676 |
| What the seeker is charged | A platform fee added to the hourly rate, currently 7.95% | Nothing |
| Provider sets their own rate | Limited | Yes |
| Provider owns the client relationship | No | Yes |
| Exit penalty | Varies | None |
That is $5,356 a year back in your pocket. More than $5,000, on one caseload, for doing exactly the same work.
Solotude Pro costs less than a commission platform takes from two and a half hours of work a week. Beyond that, everything you earn is yours.
Figures based on Mable’s published fee schedule, in effect since 22 March 2023 and current at September 2026: a support engagement fee of 10% of the agreed rate deducted from the provider, plus a client platform fee of 7.95% added to what the seeker pays.
Platforms that employ support workers directly pay a set rate and keep the margin between what the participant pays and what the worker receives. Those platforms offer employment benefits, which suits some workers well. What they do not offer is rate control, client ownership, or the ability to build your own business. On Solotude you are the business.
The alternative to being listed is building your own presence and buying your own attention. That is a real cost, and most providers underestimate it.
Add it up and being found on your own runs to thousands of dollars a year before you count your own time. And a Meta lead is a stranger who clicked something, while a Solotude enquiry comes from a verified account that searched for your profession in your suburb and read your credentials before messaging you.

As we continue to grow, our vision is to become the go-to platform for independents and small providers within the NDIS and beyond. We aim to expand our community, continually improve our platform, and introduce new features that make the process of finding and managing care even more seamless. Our ultimate goal is to redefine how care is delivered and received, creating a system that is truly participant-centered and NDIS worker-friendly.
