Mable is an Australian online two-sided marketplace that directly connects people needing aged care or disability support with independent support workers in their local community. Consumers choose their own workers and negotiate terms, while Mable collects fees on transactions: 7.95% added to the client’s payment and 10% deducted from the worker’s invoiced amount, bypassing traditional agency overhead. This model enables potentially higher pay for workers and lower costs for clients. The platform serves older Australians, NDIS participants, and private clients, and also offers Business Solutions by Mable to simplify care coordination for other organizations. By facilitating a community-driven, consumer-directed care marketplace, Mable aims to expand access to personalized, flexible home care in Australia.
