The care you already giveis worth a career.
Millions of Australians care for a loved one every day and never get recognised for it. CarerCan turns those years into a verified employability profile — and connects you with paid care roles and training that actually value your experience.

Hire people who already know what it takes to care.
Australia's care sector is short 350,000 workers by 2030. The hidden workforce is already here — CALD carers, family carers, community carers — with the empathy, lived experience and cultural fluency your rosters need. CarerCan surfaces them, verifies them, and matches them to your open roles.

Communication & Relational Care
"I understand others' needs through both verbal and non-verbal communication."
What we assess
Real carers. Real credentials. Real roles.
"I cared for my dad for six years. CarerCan turned that into a Cert III credit and a paid role two suburbs over."
"The assessment finally put words to what I do every day. My employer took it seriously — I didn't have to start from scratch."
"I didn't think ‘carer' was a job title I could claim. Now it's on my profile — verified."
- Yes. There are no fees, no subscriptions, no placement charges. Employers and education providers pay to access verified carer profiles.
- No. CarerCan is built specifically for informal carers. Your lived experience is the qualification we assess.
- The Care Skills Assessment is mapped to the CHC (Community Services) training package and accepted by our partner RTOs for Recognition of Prior Learning.
- Only verified employers and education providers you approve. You can revoke access at any time.
- Those platforms charge carers a fee or commission on every shift. We charge employers instead — and we focus on translating informal caring into a recognised employability profile, not just gig work.
