FindACarer is a free noticeboard. We do not employ, screen, recommend or supervise any carer or agency.
Important: we do not check police checks, Working with Children checks or NDIS worker screening. Please check these yourself.
Listings are written by the providers themselves. “Contact details confirmed” only means the email address works. Before you arrange care, check screening, registration and references using the official services:
- Australia – NDIS: NDIS Worker Screening Check (NDIS Commission) · Find a registered NDIS provider · ndis.gov.au
- Australia – aged care: My Aged Care (1800 200 422)
- Australia – Working with Children checks (by state): NSW · VIC · QLD (blue card) · WA · SA · TAS · ACT · NT (SAFE NT)
- United Kingdom: DBS Update Service (check a certificate) · NHS: find home care services · CQC (England) · Care Inspectorate (Scotland) · CIW (Wales) · RQIA (Northern Ireland)
In an emergency call 000 (Australia) or 999 (UK). If you are worried someone is being harmed, contact the police or your local council or state adult safeguarding service.
Simple steps before care starts
- Ask for the carer’s screening details and check them yourself using the links above.
- Ask for two references and call them.
- For agencies, check their registration with the regulator (NDIS Commission, My Aged Care, CQC, Care Inspectorate, CIW or RQIA).
- Agree tasks, hours and price in writing before care starts.
- Never pay large amounts in advance or share bank passwords.
- Meet first, with a family member or friend present if you can.
