Tender Australia was formed in 2024, by a group of family members, who wanted improved care for their family members who were working with Support Workers.
It was clear after meeting with a range of Support Workers, that they work extremely hard to provide the best quality of life for their clients. However, burnout, lack of training and low pay can cause them to leave the NDIS sector, resulting in limited quality of life options for our loved ones. In hopes of keeping the best Support Workers in the industry longer, while looking to empower them even more in their selfless role, Tender Australia is looking to turn the standard business model on its head and give Support Workers the power to choose a Provider they want to work with. Allowing Support Workers to create a detailed profile, highlighting their experience, training qualifications and base casual hourly rate they’re looking to earn will give hiring Providers more information about the person who will be in the care of their clients, and take the guess work out of looking through hundreds of resumes for the right person!
Reed Brown
GM, Marketing
After hearing from family members of the challenges around finding and maintaining good Support Workers, Reed was eager to bring his over 10 years of marketing and advertising experience to help launch Tender Australia. Reed’s passion for relationship building, problem solving and helping others allows him to talk with a wide range of Participants, Support Workers and Providers to better understand how Tender Australia can optimise the platform to make the NDIS community that much better.
