Our story
When Mat was 26, both his mum and dad were diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. He and his partner Jenna quickly realised that while medical care was essential, what his parents really needed was company, someone to spend time with, share experiences, and help them stay connected to their community. They needed someone like family when Mat and Jenna couldn’t be there.
That’s how Like Family was born, to connect people with Social Carers who do more than just a job. They become a meaningful part of someone’s life, providing support, friendship, and a sense of belonging.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the same support worker regularly or will it be a different person each time?
It can be frustrating having a different carer arrive each time. With Like Family, you can choose to hire the same Social Carer regularly if you or your loved one want a familiar friendly face.
Do you offer medical care?
No. But we can connect you with the appropriate services. We collaborate with a number of care providers so you can get our quality companionship combined with expert nursing and medical care from our partners — all within your budget.
Are there any prepayments, lock-in or subscription fees?
No. You only pay for the time you spend with your Social Carer. We do not add additional fees, not even for credit card payments.
Does the price change depending on the service provided?
Whatever your activity, it’s the same hourly rate (apart from group bookings and sleepover support). Our support workers provide social care and non-medical services. If you need medical care services, we can connect you with our partner network. Reach out to us at hello@likefamily.com.au.
What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government initiative to fund disability support services in Australia. The NDIS gives people with disability greater access to and control over the disability supports they use.
How can I use my NDIS funding with Like Family?
You can use five NDIS support categories with us: Assistance with Daily Life, Assistance with Social and Community Participation, Increased Social and Community Participation, Improved Daily Living, and Improved Health and Wellbeing.
How you use your funding will depend on what's reasonable and necessary to help you achieve your goals.
What is a NDIS Support Worker?
Understanding the vital role of an NDIS support worker
An NDIS support worker empowers National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants to live more independent and fulfilling lives.
At Like Family, our NDIS support workers – whom we affectionately call Social Carers – go beyond traditional care. We focus on fostering genuine connections and supporting participants to actively engage in their communities, build meaningful relationships, and pursue their passions.
What our Like Family NDIS support workers do:
Our compassionate NDIS Social Carers assist with activities that promote social inclusion and personal growth. These can include:
- Social connection & companionship: Providing friendly companionship, engaging in conversations, and offering emotional support to combat loneliness and isolation.
- Community participation: Supporting participants to attend social events, join clubs, access local services, and participate in activities they enjoy.
- Transportation assistance: Helping with getting to appointments, social gatherings, and other important destinations.
- Skill development: Assisting with learning new skills, building confidence, and promoting independence in daily living.
- Light household tasks: Offering support with meal preparation, tidying, and other light household duties to create a comfortable living environment.
- Support during outings & events: Accompanying participants to appointments, social outings, recreational activities, and other events, ensuring they feel supported and included.
Our approach is always person-centred. This means our NDIS support workers take the time to understand each participant's individual needs, preferences, and goals, and provides them with respectful support that is empowering and truly makes a difference.
How to find the right NDIS support worker for your needs
Choosing the appropriate disability support worker is about finding someone who truly understands and empowers you.
Start by clearly defining your support needs and goals – what assistance will make the most significant difference in your life?
Then, consider the kind of personality you'd connect with and feel comfortable around.
While connection matters, make sure your support worker has a valid NDIS Worker Screening Check and any relevant experience or skills for your needs.
Don't hesitate to ask questions about their experience, approach to support, and communication style. And try to take advantage of introductory meetings to see if there's a good personal fit.
Ultimately, trust your instincts. The right social carer will not only assist you with tasks but also support your independence and help you achieve your goals.
At Like Family, we help you connect with individuals who are both capable and caring, ensuring you find someone who truly enhances your life.
