Best Mable Alternatives for NDIS Support (2026)
Looking for a Mable alternative? Here's how the main ways to find NDIS support workers compare — platforms, agencies and finding workers directly.
Mable is one of Australia's larger platforms for finding independent support workers, but it isn't the only way to build your support team. This guide looks fairly at the alternatives — other platforms, traditional agencies, and finding workers directly — so you can choose what suits you.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best alternative to Mable?
It depends what you want. Other platforms (Hireup, Kynd, Careseekers) work similarly; agencies arrange support for you; and finding workers directly gives the most control and value. Novida lets you search and message verified workers directly.
Is Hireup or Mable better?
Neither is simply 'better' — the key difference is that Hireup employs its workers while Mable's are sole traders, which affects insurance and employment. Choose based on how you want to engage and manage workers.
Can I find NDIS support workers without a platform?
Yes. You can engage independent workers directly through a directory or your community, which often costs less. You'll handle more admin (agreements, insurance, payments) — plan management can help with that.
