Can I pay family members to provide support if my usual supports become unavailable?

We understand that they way supports will be delivered during this time, may change. Hireup promotes the flexibility around the short term use of family members as support workers, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you are wanting to provide support to a member of your family, Hireup will still need to verify your disability pre-employment checks. Some Australian states have certain exemptions and rules which Hireup must follow, and approval to provide support is not always guaranteed.

All cases will need to be reviewed by our team, so please get in touch with our Community Support team on (02) 9113 5933 or at hello@hireup.com.au to start this process.
