Pricing Policies

We are currently FREE!!!!

Right now, growing our community and making it useful is our priority. Join us for free and help build something that makes a real difference.
As we grow, our long-term plan is to charge support workers an annual membership — negligible in comparison to the industry-standard, ongoing commissions. People seeking support will always use Drop Bear Care for free.
By eliminating the ongoing commissions, support budgets will go further AND support workers will take home thousands more per year! Win-win!

Our Pricing Model

Whilst the motivations for meeting people on Drop Bear Care might be very different from the reasons why people use dating sites, both are essentially just places to meet.
And how many dating sites charge commissions to go on a date?
Kind of a laughable idea, isn’t it? Yet that is exactly the pricing model adopted by the Australian support industry.
We are going to base our pricing on the dating-site model – up-front platform access rather than ongoing commissions – whilst including the worker screening that a vulnerable community deserves.

Our Promise to You

We won’t charge commissions. Ever.
If you’re a support provider, our annual membership will always be a rounding error compared to the commissions you’d pay to the incumbents in a single year!
We encourage you to do the calculations yourself and see how much of the tax-payer funding – intended to provide support to those in need – disappears in commissions, hour after hour, perpetually paying for the introduction.

Referral Bonus

We strongly believe that we have incredible value to offer the Australian support industry.
But we can only deliver that value if a community of support providers and seekers grows up around us.
We can’t grow that community alone.
We’ve built the meeting place. But a meeting place is not a community.
We need your help!
Whether you’re here to give support or to find it, we need you to spread the word and help the community grow.
The bigger it grows, the better everyone’s chance of finding the right support provider or seeker.
And for our support-provider members, we want to sweeten the deal even further…
For every support worker you refer who becomes a financial member, we’ll give you a 10% discount on your own future membership fees!
In other words… if you refer 10 friends who subscribe, your membership will be FREE!
Yeah, we know… your membership is currently free anyway… but it won’t always be.
So, get busy and start referring your friends now to keep it that way!
