Mable is a contractor marketplace, workers are self-employed, they set rates within NDIS caps, and the platform charges a fee on top. It's a solid model if you like running the relationship yourself and don't mind variable rates or the admin that comes with it.
Support Match is different structurally. Our workers are directly employed, SCHADS-aligned pay, NDIS Price Guide capped rates, no finder's fee. And you don't do the sourcing, we do.
Pick Mable if you want the biggest possible worker pool and are comfortable self-managing the match. Pick Support Match if you want someone to do the matching for you and workers who are employed and accountable through a single provider.
Submit a referral and we'll shortlist matched, screened workers within 3–5 business days. No cost to try.
