What community activities can I do with a support worker in Hobart?
In Hobart, a support worker can help you visit markets, the waterfront, gardens, museums and local clubs, and plan around the weather and the hills.
Salamanca Market runs every Saturday and is a lively outing. The waterfront around Constitution Dock is flat and good for a walk and fish and chips. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery are close to the city. Some people enjoy a drive up kunanyi/Mount Wellington for the view.
Your worker can also help you:
- visit Libraries Tasmania branches for groups, events and computer help
- join classes at neighbourhood houses across Greater Hobart
- watch footy, cricket or basketball at local grounds and Hobart venues
- take part in festivals and events through the year
Hobart is hilly and can be cold, so your worker will plan routes and indoor options. Read more about community participation.
How do support workers get around Hobart and Tasmania?
In Hobart, support workers travel with you on Metro Tasmania buses, which accept a Greencard or contactless payment, or drive you where transport support is part of your plan.
Metro runs bus services in Hobart, Launceston and Burnie. Outside those areas, public transport is limited, so many Tasmanians rely on cars. Your worker can help you plan bus trips with accessible stops or drive you to shops, appointments and activities.
If you hold a Tasmanian Companion Card, your worker may get free entry at participating venues and events. Check with the venue or operator before you go.
Learning to catch the bus can open up a lot of independence. Your worker can practise a regular route with you, such as a trip into the city or to a class, until you are ready to try it alone. See travel and transport support.
Do you deliver NDIS supports outside Hobart in regional Tasmania?
Yes. Enrichment Care supports participants right across Tasmania, including the north, the North West Coast, the east coast and smaller rural towns, when we can find a suitable worker nearby.
Launceston, Devonport and Burnie have their own local workers. Smaller towns in the Huon Valley, Derwent Valley and the north-east can take longer to staff. We recruit locally so your worker knows your community and does not need to drive hours for each shift.
The NDIS uses the Modified Monash Model (MMM) to classify remoteness. Places like the West Coast and the Bass Strait islands may fall into remote or very remote categories, where higher price limits apply. In 2026-27, the weekday daytime self-care limit is $103.01 an hour in remote areas and $110.37 in very remote areas.
See our guide to 2026-27 price limits and check ndis.gov.au for current figures.
How do I get started with Enrichment Care in Tasmania?
Call 1300 543 123 or use our find your support worker page. We will ask about your goals, routine and the kind of worker you would like.
Our office is in Sydney, and in Tasmania we recruit workers locally. When we find people who suit you and live near your town, we send you their profiles so you can choose who to meet.
Your meet and greet takes place at home or somewhere you feel at ease. Family, carers and support coordinators are welcome. If the match feels right, we set up a service agreement and a start date.
In smaller towns it may take longer to find the right person. We will keep you updated and be honest about timing, so you can plan around it.
