As an online platform, Hireup is built to revolutionise the way people with disability find, hire and manage support workers by harnessing technology and connecting people with shared interests.
For too long, people with disability have had to accept support on someone else’s terms. At Hireup we decided to fix that, by investing in technology and our community and bringing together as many Australians as possible to share in our vision. Together we are redefining what it means to be connected. To be supported. To be a community empowered by a system that matches people not just on qualification but on shared interests.
We know that finding the right support is about finding the right relationship. We have a better future in our sights and we’re putting our stamp all over it. One support work relationship at a time. For us, that’s the Hireup story.
What support can I find on Hireup?
Find a range of support, from in-home personal care to support at work or in the community. The support you receive is entirely up to you and is most effective when you get creative. Think about what you want to achieve and the skills you want to develop, and how a worker can support you to do that. Are you looking for a social coach? Workplace mentor? Swimming teacher? Study buddy? Match with support workers who meet your needs and share your interests.
How do I hire my workers?
There are three ways to connect with Hireup support workers.
- Post an ad on the Hireup job board
- Search and message Hireup support workers in your area
- Recruit someone from within your existing networks
When you have found the right fit for you, hire your worker by creating a booking with our simple online booking form. Choose when and where your booking will take place and finalise the details with your worker directly.
How am I protected?
To ensure the ongoing safety of our community, we screen and verify all users before they join; request feedback on every shift booked through the platform; and offer round the clock support over the phone and via email. Our Community Support team is equipped with health and safety expertise and a swift and discreet incident response procedure. All Hireup users are covered by our comprehensive insurance policy and we have an active user removal policy.

I have been personally using this platform for more than 6 months and I was able to find a support worker who is going with me every week to the swimming pool. We swim, chat and have fun, no other agency could find me this type of person.
