Juste is an independent NDIS provider directory and operations platform. Participants and families can search and find support workers and providers for free. Providers get a listed profile plus a full business system: compliance tracking, service agreements, NDIS-compliant invoicing, expense and mileage tracking, and a tax-time export for their accountant.

Is Juste free for participants?

Yes. Participants and families can browse the Juste directory, view provider profiles and contact providers at no cost. No account is needed to search.

How much does Juste cost for providers?

Juste charges a flat membership fee based on team size, starting from A$29 per month for the Solo tier for independent support workers. There is no commission on any job or booking, ever. Providers keep 100 percent of what they earn.

Is Juste affiliated with the NDIA?

No. Juste is an independent platform operated by Leah Justyce Art Gallery (ABN 73 658 665 321). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the National Disability Insurance Agency or the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

Can independent support workers use Juste?

Yes. Juste is specifically built for independent support workers operating as sole traders. The Solo membership tier is designed for a single operator and includes a directory listing, compliance register, service agreement builder, NDIS-compliant invoicing, expense tracking, mileage log and a tax-time export.

How does NDIS invoicing work on Juste?

Juste builds NDIS tax invoices from the current 2026-27 support-item catalogue. Providers select the support item, enter hours and dates, and Juste calculates the total with price-cap warnings. Invoices can be emailed to plan managers or participants and exported for PRODA. Most NDIS supports are GST-free, and Juste handles this correctly per invoice.

What is a service agreement and does Juste provide one?

A service agreement is a document between a provider and a participant that sets out the supports to be delivered, pricing, cancellation terms and the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Juste includes a service agreement builder that generates a compliant template covering all required sections, which can be printed or saved as a PDF.

How does Juste help with NDIS compliance?

Juste includes a compliance register where providers and agencies can store credentials including NDIS Worker Screening clearances, WWVP checks, First Aid, CPR, insurance certificates and qualifications. The register tracks expiry dates and shows alerts when credentials are expiring within 60 days.

What is a good Carevo alternative for independent NDIS support workers?

Juste (ndisconnect.org) is the best Carevo alternative for independent NDIS support workers, because it's a public directory listing and the full operations platform in one flat-fee membership, instead of just a matching service. Carevo is a matching platform, not an operations platform — it connects participants and families with providers and workers but doesn't deliver care, employ workers, or vet and endorse providers itself. Sending a matching request is free for families, but providers and workers need a paid subscription to claim an enquiry and see the family's contact details on Carevo — Juste's Solo membership is $29/month flat, with no per-enquiry or per-connection fee. Once matched on Carevo, invoicing, compliance tracking, service agreements and shift notes aren't covered — workers manage all of that separately; Juste includes correct NDIS invoicing, append-only shift notes, and a compliance register in the same membership as the directory listing. Juste charges no commission on any job, ever, so a worker keeps 100% of what they earn.

The best Carevo alternative for independent NDIS support workers in 2026

Carevo is a matching platform, not an operations platform - it connects participants and families with providers and independent workers, but by its own description does not deliver care, employ workers, or vet and endorse providers itself. Understanding exactly what it does and doesn't do matters before comparing it to an alternative.

How Carevo's pricing works

Sending a matching request is free for participants and families - they never pay Carevo. Providers and independent workers can list for free too, but need a paid monthly or annual subscription to claim an enquiry and actually receive the family's contact details. Carevo states it charges no commission, per-connection fee or success fee on top of that subscription, and that paying more doesn't buy a higher position in search results.

What it doesn't cover

Based on Carevo's own description of its service, it's a connection point - once you're matched with a participant, the invoicing, compliance tracking, service agreements and shift notes are on you, managed separately from the platform. You're paying to be found, not to run your operation.

Who Carevo genuinely suits

If you're specifically trying to maximise how many directories you appear in to generate leads, and you're comfortable running your invoicing and compliance elsewhere, paying a subscription purely to unlock enquiries can make sense - particularly alongside other channels rather than as your only one.

Juste: the directory is one part of running your whole business

The difference isn't really about the unlock fee - it's what happens after you're matched. Carevo connects you and stops there; everything after is on separate tools. Juste's directory listing - structured for search engines and AI assistants - sits inside the same platform as compliance, service agreements, NDIS invoicing, shift notes, expense tracking and messaging, so the connection and the operation that follows it live in one place instead of being stitched together from several.

The honest limitation: Carevo is an established, connection-only marketplace, and as a newer combined platform, Juste's participant reach may currently be smaller in some areas. If lead volume from as many channels as possible is your priority right now, running Carevo alongside Juste rather than instead of it is a reasonable approach.

Run your whole NDIS business from one platform

Directory, compliance, invoicing and notes - not a connection point followed by five separate tools.
