About Hireup

Hireup is an Australian online platform that connects people with disabilities to a national network of verified support workers. The company's two-sided marketplace allows individuals with disabilities, their families, or representatives to find, hire, and manage their own support staff, fostering greater choice and control over their care. The platform serves a wide range of clients, from those with complex needs requiring 24/7 support to individuals seeking assistance with everyday tasks and community participation.

Hireup's business model is centered on a commission-based system. The company takes a percentage of the booking fee for each hour of support delivered through the platform. This fee covers the costs of worker verification, insurance, payroll, and the technology infrastructure. By centralizing these administrative functions, Hireup aims to provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution compared to traditional disability support providers. The company operates within the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) framework, which provides funding to people with disabilities to purchase services like those offered on the Hireup platform.
