Building lasting companionship
Find ongoing personalised support, participate in the community, and work towards independence with Australia's fastest-growing network of Social Carers.
More than support workers
Our Social Carers are like your mentor, friend, big brother or sister. They're like family.
How we help
We provide social support through activities like arts & craft, exercise, household tasks, grocery shopping, transportation, and companionship for social events.
How it works
Find the right Social Carer in three easy steps:
Post an activity
This is like a job ad. Tell Social Carers what you would like to do, and at what day & time.
Message a Carer
You can also search for and contact any Social Carers who match your interests, needs, location and more.
Request a Meet and Greet
This is like a job interview to check if a Social Carer will be a good match. You can arrange up to 5 free Meet and Greets, which a Carer will be paid for. Learn more.
Carers you can trust and rely on
All our Social Carers go through a comprehensive vetting process. We only approve applicants we'd want looking after our own families.
- An online test to ensure they will honour and uphold our Community Values
- An NDIS Workers Check and a Working With Children Check (if required)
- A minimum of two glowing references from previous colleagues and personal contacts
- A group interview with a Like Family representative to evaluate problem-solving and interpersonal skills
- Proof of COVID-19 vaccination in accordance with their state government's requirements. Learn more.

Caring for people is my greatest passion. I'm involved in youth and kids ministries at church and my favourite part about it is being able to love on and care for others. It's how I'm built.
