NDIS Support Worker: Agency (TFN) vs. Independent (ABN)

I have some exciting news. I recently passed my job interview, and I am starting my first support worker job in early May! I am very happy, but I also had to make a very important decision. When I accepted the job, the agency asked me, "Do you want to work under TFN (Tax File Number) or ABN (Australian Business Number)?" For many new support workers, especially in the NDIS and aged care sectors, this is the most confusing question. Many people hear that ABN independent contractors get paid much higher hourly rates. So they immediately want to choose ABN. However, I chose to work under TFN as an agency employee. Today, I want to explain exactly why I made that choice, and help you decide which option is best for you. The Biggest Confusion for New Support Workers When you look at job ads on Seek.com or on Facebook groups, you will see two different types of pay offers. One might offer $35 to $40 per hour as a TFN casual employee . Another might offer $50 to $60 per hour, bu...

Why Starting as a Casual Support Worker is the Best Choice for Families

When people look for a new job, they usually want a full-time position. They think full-time is the only way to be safe and successful. But is that really true for everyone? I recently passed my Zoom interview and I am starting my first support worker job in early May. I was offered a casual role , and I happily accepted it. I did not want a part-time or full-time position. If you have a family, starting as a casual worker might be the smartest decision you can make. Today, I want to explain why a casual role is actually a massive advantage for beginners in the NDIS and aged care sectors . The Myth of the "Perfect" Full-Time Job We are taught that a full-time job is the ultimate goal. Yes, working full-time gives you annual leave and paid sick days. It sounds very safe and stable. However, full-time also means you are locked into a strict schedule. You must work 38 hours a week, and you usually cannot choose your own days off. If you are a single person with no responsibilit...

Why I Left a 10-Year Career to Become a Support Worker (And Passed My Interview!)

If you are currently in your 30s or 40s, staring at your computer screen, and wondering if this is all your professional life will ever be, I want you to read this carefully. Making a career change in your 30s or 40s is one of the most terrifying decisions you can make. We are taught to value stability, to hold onto our seniority, and to never walk away from a guaranteed paycheck. But what happens when that paycheck comes at the cost of your happiness? Recently, I made the scary, exhilarating decision to leave my established career behind. I successfully passed a Zoom interview , and I am thrilled to say I will be starting my first role as a support worker in early May. Today, I want to share exactly how I passed that interview, and why trading a "stable" 10-year career for a casual support worker role was the best decision I have ever made. The Turning Point: Feeling Empty in a "Stable" Job For the past ten years, I did everything society told me I was supposed t...
