Lifestyle Solutions Pay Rates 2026: Support Worker & SCHADS Pay

Lifestyle Solutions provides disability accommodation and support services, and is now part of the Possability Group alongside other disability services brands. Its workforce is largely disability support workers delivering in-home and supported-accommodation shifts, rostered across a wide range of hours to match participant needs.

Support roles at Lifestyle Solutions are covered by the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (SCHADS), with pay set by the disability services stream, level and pay point. Our corpus holds no current Lifestyle Solutions enterprise agreement, so the award tables below are what should be on the payslip.

The federal awards relevant to Lifestyle Solutions roles:

• Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (MA000100)

Workforce snapshot. In the 2024-25 Workplace Gender Equality Agency reports, Lifestyle Solutions (Aust) Ltd reported 1,953 employees (part of the Possability Group Ltd group, 3,602 employees in total, 37.7% casual and 60.9% women). Source: WGEA 2025 Public Data File, data.gov.au (CC-BY 3.0 AU).

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.

As at 25 September 2026, our corpus of 14,141 federally registered enterprise agreements holds no current agreement for Lifestyle Solutions. 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 Lifestyle Solutions, it beats the award figures above.

The patterns worth checking on a Lifestyle Solutions payslip:

• Wrong SCHADS level or pay point for qualifications and years of service.
• Sleepover and active-night shifts paid as if they were the same thing.
• Broken shifts without the allowance, and travel between clients unpaid.
• Minimum engagements ignored on short support shifts.

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?
