About us

‘More than your standard carer’

CareNow is an organisation that works to help support and empower young people who live with a disability to thrive and reach their full potential. We believe that support workers can play a crucial role in this positive development, working to support the unique needs of both the individual and their family.

CareNow exists because we believe in the power of genuine connections. We believe that positivity, enthusiasm and encouragement are what allows one to flourish and improve their confidence. We are passionate about what we do because we have all been touched in some way by the love and the warmth within the disability community.

Our vision

For us, true care and support is something that goes well beyond being just a job. It is about learning, teaching, playing and guiding. A good support is someone who is a role model, a teacher and disciplined, but also someone who is a friend, sensitive and empathetic. To achieve this, our organisation is made up of individuals who passionately believe in this approach to support and who hold a special interest in disability and the community outside of just their working hours.

Our goal is to redefine the typical disability support relationship and reframe the environment that surrounds working within the disability community. We do this by providing the very best support workers and the reason why we do it is because we care.

Recently I was looking frantically for a carer as I was once again let down last minute. My friend gave me the number of CareNow. I only managed to call them round 8:45 pm and at 9:45 pm they called me back with 2 amazing carers. This company is so amazing as they go above and beyond to try and help fit the right carer for the child and they really do care. They are so passionate and caring and also very flexible. There is always constant communication between the team after they have been with 'Johny', discussing strategies, challenges and just trying to get the best outcome for my son.

Working with CareNow has truly changed my life. Not only has my perspective on people with special needs been changed however my perspective on what is truly important in life. It has provided me with a career in which I am truly proud and excited about. The things I have learnt through the CareNow workshops and training have been first class! They provide practical learning along with guest speakers who have experienced first-hand the challenges and triumphs of living with a disability.

Jordan, the founder of CareNow, was my son Reuvi's first caregiver. This is extremely significant since I am a very protective parent and fairly tough egg to impress. Jordan was fantastic, caring, committed, informed and extremely straightforward and honest. It was extraordinarily clear to me that my son was in very capable hands and to my surprise, I was extremely comfortable leaving him with Jordan. Those very attributes that made Jordan such a wonderful Carer he has, through professional development training, passed on to his community of dedicated carers.

Jordan and the whole CareNow team have all been an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Each support worker that has cared for my son has been reliable, respectful and keen to learn and support. The team’s energy and passion for the disability support space is refreshing.

Since joining the team, CareNow gave me the opportunity to work as a carer with some of the most amazing kids I have ever met. This has allowed me to grow as an individual through the perspective that is gained through this field of work, as well as the workshops run for us. I will always be grateful for the opportunity I've had being a part of the interconnected team that is CareNow.
