Frequently asked questions
Is this an employment position?
No. This page is for an independent partnership opportunity rather than a traditional employee role. The final structure, expectations and commercial arrangements will be discussed during the assessment process.
Do I need disability or aged-care experience?
Relevant sector experience, trusted relationships and a strong understanding of participant or provider needs will be highly valuable.
Can I focus on a particular region?
Yes. Some partners may focus on a local territory, while others may build a portfolio around a service category, professional network or industry niche.
Can I do this alongside other work?
Potentially, depending on your current role, availability, conflicts of interest and any professional obligations.
What support will I receive?
Support may include access to Support Network's workforce, recruitment, compliance, worker management, payroll, administration, technology, marketing resources and operational team.
Do I need to manage support workers?
Support Network manages the core workforce, compliance, payroll and operational systems. The Care Business Partner's primary focus is relationship development and opportunity growth.
How are commercial arrangements structured?
Commercial arrangements will be discussed directly with suitable applicants and may vary depending on the proposed partnership model, portfolio and level of involvement.
What is the difference between a Care Business Partner and a Referral Partner?
Care Business Partners actively build and manage an ongoing relationship portfolio. Referral Partners generally make warm introductions when suitable opportunities arise without managing a complete portfolio.
Is the program available Australia-wide?
Yes. Support Network is seeking expressions of interest from suitable professionals across Australia.
