Who covers Hireup workers — award or agreement?
Hireup is a registered NDIS provider that employs its support workers to deliver in-home and community disability support, with clients and workers matched through its online platform. Most Hireup support workers are employed on a casual basis.
Disability support work of this kind is covered by the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (SCHADS), where pay is set by stream, level and pay point rather than a single flat rate. Our corpus holds no current Hireup enterprise agreement. The award rates are a minimum floor — employers can and often do pay above them.
The federal awards relevant to Hireup roles:
- Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (MA000100)
Workforce snapshot. In its 2024-25 report to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, Hireup Pty. Ltd. declared 6,536 employees — 95.1% casual and 76.6% women. Source: WGEA 2025 Public Data File, data.gov.au (CC-BY 3.0 AU).
SCHADS pay is a matrix — where to find your rate
The SCHADS award pays by stream (social and community services, home care, disability, crisis accommodation), then classification level, then pay point — so there is no single "disability support worker rate". Our SCHADS pay rates page carries the full current pay-point matrix, verified against the Fair Work Commission's pay database, plus the sleepover, broken-shift and minimum-engagement rules that decide most disability pay disputes.
Does Hireup have an enterprise agreement?
As at 22 September 2026, our corpus of 14,141 federally registered enterprise agreements holds no current agreement for Hireup. That usually means one of three things: the employer pays on the award (or on individual contracts above it), the agreement covering you is registered under a different entity name (check the employer name on your payslip and search our agreements database), or — for state public-sector employers — pay is set by a state award or agreement outside the federal register. If you have a copy of an agreement that names Hireup, it beats the award figures above.
What to do if your pay looks wrong
Match your payslip to your classification in the agreement (or the award tables above), and price any gap with our back-pay calculator. Raise it in writing with payroll or your manager first — most underpayments are fixed at that step. Unresolved, the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) recovers underpayments at no cost, up to six years back, and your union can run the claim for you. Not sure which instrument covers you? Ask our AI advisor with your role and location.
