How Do Support Workers Find Clients?

When you register as an independent support worker with Workers Australia, you gain access to valuable tools and safeguards to help you start providing support. The first step is connecting with clients, and a strong profile is key to attracting the right people in your local area.

Create a Standout Profile

A well-crafted profile helps clients find and choose you. Make sure to include:

  • A clear and professional bio – Keep it concise and highlight your strengths.
  • A profile photo – A friendly, professional image builds trust.
  • Your skills, qualifications, and experience – Showcase what you offer.
  • Hobbies and interests – Clients often look for support workers who share common interests (e.g., music, sports, or arts).
  • Additional details – Mention your availability, services, immunisation status, driver’s licence, languages spoken, and any other relevant information

Building Your Client Base

Spread the Word

  • Talk about your work – Let people know you’re available for support work. Tell past clients, friends, family, and community members about your services. Word-of-mouth recommendations are powerful.
  • Hand out business cards – Once your profile is approved, create digital or print business cards and share them with potential clients, local community centres, and disability or aged care organisations.
  • Network with other support workers – Connect with other professionals in your area. If a client’s needs don’t align with another worker’s availability, they may refer them to you—and vice versa.
  • Ask for testimonials – Positive reviews from happy clients increase credibility and help attract more opportunities.

Finding Last-Minute Work

Need clients fast? Many people require urgent support due to last-minute changes in schedules, medical appointments, or events. Taking last-minute shifts can lead to long-term client relationships.
