Like Family is amazing. I have been with 2 providers previously, and always had issues. Like Family is so easy to deal with. The office staff are all so helpful, and my carer is fabulous. Nothing is a problem. I’m blown away

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.
Frequently asked questions
What can a Like Family support worker help me with?
Our support workers can help you with a range of activities to build your independence, engage with your community and have fun. These include help with household tasks, meal preparation, arts & craft, skills development, transportation, and companionship to social events. They cannot help with medical or personal care.
Why is your pricing so much lower than the NDIS suggested hourly rate?
We want social support to be accessible and sustainable, regardless of your budget and funding. Our focus on community participation is designed to maximise the amount of care you receive, so you can set bigger and better goals for your Core Support and Capacity Building plans.
Do you charge any prepayment, subscription or credit card fees?
We want our pricing to be as simple as possible, which means no added fees. You only pay for the time you spend with your Social Carer.
Where is Like Family located?
We provide social support in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. If you live out of area, we also offer phone and video bookings. Contact us on hello@likefamily.com.au if you need a hand finding a Carer in your area!
