What does Mycare do to ensure it’s safe to work with those who offer home-based help on Mycare
Mycare is an online community that connects people seeking and offering home-based services. We take safety seriously.
Are the workers screened?
Mycare workers are independent support contractors, who are trust and safety vetted to be able to use the Mycare platform.
Trust and safety verifications include email, phone number, address and ID verifications, complete bio and profile photo and police vetting which requires two forms of identification.
Police vetting is submitted by our Mycare team to ensure they are processed correctly and have a full review of results.

Mycare Safety Tips
- Review worker profiles
- Avoid sharing personal details such as your phone number/address with a worker early in communication. The message thread is a secure and safe environment that allows you to ask/be asked all questions pertinent to the role.
- Meet workers before making an agreement
