We've introduced some helpful updates to the Mable platform to improve how you view and manage job applications from independent support workers.

These changes are designed to make it simpler for you to find the right support faster, with the most useful information up front.

Top applicants: View top applications first

Now, when independent support workers apply to your job post, their applications will be automatically sorted, and the ones that best match your needs will appear first.

Here's how it works

We review the details you provide in your job post, like the type of support you need, your location, preferred days and times, and any other preferences, and compare them with each applicant's profile. This includes their skills, qualifications, availability, and experience.

We also consider how workers have engaged on the Mable platform in the past. For example, the types of jobs they've completed, their responsiveness, and reliability.

Using this information, we put the most suitable applicants at the top of the list. This makes it quicker and easier to find someone who meets your needs.

You'll still be able to view every application that comes through. Nothing's hidden, just better sorted to save you time and help you get the right support faster.

Book a meet and greet directly from job applications

We've also simplified the process of booking a meet and greet with a support worker you're interested in. You can now invite them to a meet and greet directly from their application without needing to exchange messages first.

This means fewer steps, less back-and-forth, and a faster way to find out if someone’s the right fit for you.

When you click Start conversation from the support worker's application, you'll now have two options: Send a message and Invite to a meet and greet.

If the support worker has meet and greets turned on, both options will be available. If not, the meet and greet option will be unavailable, but you can still message them to ask if they're open to one.

To make things even easier, there's also a list of popular time suggestions when booking your meet and greet. If those times don't suit, click Choose a custom time to pick one that works for you.

More helpful features for a smoother review process

We've added a few other new features to application results to make reviewing and comparing applicants even easier.

  • Availability and indicative rates are now easier to find at a glance.
  • You can now view the support worker's drive distance from you, so you know how far away they are.
  • We've added total hours worked on Mable to help you understand how active and experienced a support worker is.
  • New status labels like 'New application', 'Conversation started', and 'Profile viewed' make it easier to track where an application is at.
  • The Manage Workers page now shows only five applications per page (instead of 20) to help you focus and make confident decisions.

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
