Reduce the back-and-forth and lock in the right support, faster

Introducing instant booking: The faster way to connect on Mable.

This new feature allows independent support workers to include their agreement with their job application, giving clients the key details up front so they can instantly book specific jobs without the back-and-forth.

For clients: Support, simplified

Support workers can include their agreement with their application, giving you the key details up front to help you choose the right person.

  • Save time and effort with more of the support worker's information up front, including rates, services and availability. This makes it quicker to review applications and get support in place. 
  • Lock in a support worker straight from their application. Once you accept their agreement, you can get in touch to schedule your sessions.
  • Choose with confidence knowing however you book, every support worker has been rigorously verified by the Mable team and you always have the final say over who provides your support.

For independent support workers: Less admin, more work

Minimise admin and get to your next support session faster. 

  • Make it easier for clients to choose you by providing your agreement with your rates, services and availability upfront. Giving clients details early may help them decide to work with you more quickly.
  • Save time and reduce admin by providing key details at the start, reducing negotiations later and removing the need to create agreements after long conversations.
  • Book with confidence knowing you're covered by our support worker insurance when you accept bookings on Mable.

How it works

How instant booking works

  1. Application: For jobs where instant booking is available, support workers include their proposed agreement when applying for a job.
  2. Review: Clients review the application, including the specific rates and services offered.
  3. Match: The client accepts the agreement, and the support worker is locked in.
  4. Connect: Once the agreement is accepted, you can get in touch to schedule your first session!

Disabled mums are the quiet supermums
As the water trickled over the rocks and my kids explored the bush, their laughter mingling with birdsong, I sat quietly on the wooden seat, taking it all in. The peace, the joy - but also something else. My eyes welled up just as my independent support worker glanced at me. She slipped an arm around me and gave a gentle squeeze. I didn't need to explain what I was feeling but she already knew. That feeling is something that I think every parent living with a disability needs to hear and embrace. A different kind of angst Mum - and dad - guilt is almost synonymous with parenting these days. We worry we're not doing enough, not being enough; that there's never enough time, money, or energy. But when you're parenting with disability, that feeling cuts deeper. It's the sting when you can't do something for, or with, your kids. Like driving them to a birthday party, kicking a soccer ball in the backyard. It's crying quietly in the kitchen when disability and parenthood all feels too much.

NDIS reforms announced: What we know so far
On 22 April 2026, Health Minister Mark Butler announced major reforms to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The changes have been described as a 'reset' with the intention to refocus the scheme, reduce spending and ensure long-term sustainability. While the reforms are wide-ranging, they will not take effect immediately and will be introduced gradually over time. The Government will introduce the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill next month, then there will be a lot of debate and community consultation before we see any changes take effect. Here's an explainer of the announcement and the key takeaways. Why the 'reset'? The NDIS was established to support people in Australia living with 'permanent and significant disability' 13 years ago. Since then, its rapid growth has seen the scheme expand much faster than originally forecast. Spending increasing by 10-14 per cent per year. Today, there are more than 75
