💚 Green with Envy Alert
SwiftyMatchy is fuming (in the cutest way) that it took you THIS long to find us.
You’ve been out here playing Where’s Wally with the right support, while we’ve been over here, hair flicked, nails done, sipping lattes like:
“Babe… we could’ve matched you in minutes.”
Let’s be real — the old way of finding supports was slower than your aunt typing on Facebook and messier than your notes app at 2am.
We? Are the opposite — fast matches, real choice, zero gatekeeping, and all the good vibes you’ve been missing.
Here’s the glow-up you just unlocked:
🔥 Scroll like it’s TikTok — profiles that actually show personality.
📲 Bye-bye, provider secrets — no more digging for info they should’ve given you in the first place.
💅 Choice made real — you pick who comes to support you, not just whoever’s free.
Now that you’re in on the secret, you’ll never waste another scroll — and your future self will be green with gratitude.
📰 What’s Going On in the Sector (AKA the tea right now)
New leadership at NDIA → Translation: New sheriff in town. Rules will shift. Watch the policies like you watch your ex’s Insta stories. 👀
Pricing reforms whispers → IPC & IHACPA reports are stirring the pot — expect conversations (and complaints) about what’s “fair pay” to keep heating up.
More people going independent → Support workers are breaking up with big providers and going solo. Is it a glow-up… or a blow-up? You be the judge. Some are thriving with freedom, choice, and better pay. Others are drowning in admin, chasing invoices, and wondering why no one warned them about compliance.
Expo season is coming → Which means lots of smiles, tote bags… and some shady side-eye in the aisles.

Moral of the story? Change is coming, babe. And if you’re not ready to adapt, you’ll be the one scrolling from the sidelines while the rest of us are out here making moves.
🚫 Dumb Ways to Tank Your Care Sector Reputation
Your rep is your currency in the care game — and it only takes one bad move to go bankrupt. Here’s the fastest ways to nuke it:
1️⃣ Ghosting shifts – If you’re a no-show without warning, trust me, word spreads faster than a messy Facebook thread.
2️⃣ Trash talking other providers/workers – We hear you… and so do the people who could’ve hired you.
3️⃣ Ignoring participant preferences – It’s literally your one job to listen.
4️⃣ Messy paperwork – Progress notes aren’t “just admin,” they’re your legal shield.
5️⃣ Letting ego run the show – Pride before a fall… and a one-star review.
The fix?
Be reliable. Be respectful. Be the person people fight to work with, not the one they pretend not to see at expos.
💡 Pro tip: In SwiftyMatchy, your profile is your reputation. Keep it fresh. Keep it true. Keep it hotter than your last profile pic.
🫶 Final word
This sector? Still messy. Still loud. Still full of big changes and bigger feelings.
But here’s the tea: we’re not waiting for someone else to clean it up. We’re building the future of care ourselves — fuelled by too many coffees, two-minute noodles, and a hustle that could lap your 8am coffee run twice.
We’ll slide back into your inbox soon with more tea, app updates, and the stuff no one else dares to say out loud.
Till then,
👢 Keep your boots high
✨ Keep your standards higher
💋 Stay bratty, stay bold
