An Independent Support Worker in Perth Who Gets to Know You
Experienced Support. Genuine Connection. Your Life, Your Way.
When you work with an independent support worker, you're not just another name on a roster.
Instead of a rotating list of unfamiliar faces, private and independent support means consistent, one-on-one assistance from one experienced person who takes the time to understand you.
I'm Samuel, an independent support worker in Perth with more than 9 years of experience.
Through Samuel G Support, you can hire an experienced support worker directly — private, independent support built entirely around your individual needs, preferences and circumstances, without the layers of a large agency.
What Is Private & Independent Support?
Private and independent support means working directly with an individual support worker rather than through a large agency that assigns whoever is available.
Some people call this an individual support worker, or a private support worker in Perth — it's the same idea: one dedicated person who works directly with you, instead of a rotating roster.
It's a simple idea: the same familiar person, someone who understands your routine, your preferences and how you like to be supported.
The focus is on consistency, trust and support that genuinely fits your life.
The Benefits of Working With an Independent Support Worker

You talk directly with the person providing your support — no layers in between.

An Independent Worker vs a Platform
Thinking about a platform like Mable, Hireup or Support Network? Here's the honest difference.
| Working directly with me | A platform (Mable, Hireup, Support Network) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who supports you | The same familiar person, every visit. | Whoever you book — and only if they're free. |
| Finding a worker | One friendly conversation with me. | You browse, message and vet profiles yourself. |
| Consistency | Built in — it's always me. | Back to browsing if your worker isn't available. |
| Fees | No platform service fee. | A service fee added on top of the worker's rate. |
| The relationship | Direct and personal. | Through an online marketplace. |
| Local knowledge | Perth-based, suburb by suburb. | A national platform across many cities. |
Prefer to skip the platform? If you'd rather deal with one trusted local person than browse and manage a marketplace of strangers, working with an independent support worker directly is the alternative — no sign-up, no service fee and no rotating faces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an independent support worker?
An independent support worker provides support directly to individuals rather than through a large agency. This often means more consistency, flexibility and a closer working relationship with the same familiar person.
How is independent support different from an agency?
With an agency you may see different workers depending on availability. With an independent support worker, you generally work with the same person, who gets to know your routines, preferences and how you like to be supported.
Can I hire a support worker directly in Perth?
Yes. You can arrange private support directly with Samuel G Support, without going through a large agency. Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants can usually engage an independent support worker directly too. It's a simple, direct arrangement — you deal with the same person from the first conversation onwards.
Do you provide one-on-one support?
Yes — all support is one-on-one. You work with the same familiar person each visit rather than a rotating roster, which is exactly what makes consistent, personal support possible.
Are you a male support worker?
Yes. I'm Samuel — a male support worker based in Perth. Some people specifically prefer a male support worker, whether for a male participant's comfort, particular activities, or simply personal preference. If that's what you're looking for, I'm happy to have a chat.
Are you a consistent, reliable support worker?
Consistency is the whole point of independent support. As a consistent support worker in Perth — flexible, and the same familiar face every visit — I get to know your routines and preferences and shape the support around your life, rather than sending a different worker each time.
Can NDIS participants use an independent support worker?
Self-managed and plan-managed participants often have flexibility to choose their own support workers, including independent providers. Arrangements depend on your individual circumstances and how your plan is managed. Learn more here.
What can you help with?
Support can include in-home support, daily living support, community access, social support and companionship, disability support and respite support, depending on your circumstances.
