We exist to enable the pursuit of a good life for everyone
We believe that everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from, should be entitled to a good life.

Our impact in numbers since 2015
How do we know if we’re making a difference? Hireup brings choice and control to life through our purpose:
to enable the pursuit of a good life for everyone.
At Hireup we’re committed to a transparent, empirical approach to impact measurement that will be a driving force behind transforming the sector for the better.
We can proudly report that Hireup users who have been with us for 24+ months experience an
8% increase in satisfaction with life
Our aim is to see a 3% improvement in clients’ satisfaction with life as a whole after 24+ months on Hireup.
Our results show that clients who have used Hireup for over 2 years have a significantly higher satisfaction with life compared to clients who have used Hireup for less than 6 months - showing how Hireup consistently improves the lives of our clients.
It’s powerful evidence that, as our business grows, so does our impact.
The Hireup Good Life Framework Hireup’s purpose is to enable the pursuit of a good life for everyone
How do we make sure we’re doing that?
Data and infographics give us a fraction of the story, but it’s the framework behind the numbers that gives the story purpose.
We believe a good life means something different to everyone. But some things, like being connected, fulfilled, and safe are important to us all.
Our framework seeks to understand what makes a good life and how we measure progress towards it for our community.
Investing in the community:
Impact Grants
In 2022, Hireup launched the Impact Grants program.
It’s a new approach to grant making; with the aim to support both people with disability and Hireup support workers in their pursuit of a good life.
Over the years we’ve received 1000s of nominations from our support workers and clients, and are so proud that in partnership with the Achieve Foundation and HESTA, we’ve given grants to more than 20 deserving recipients so far.
The Hireup story
Lived experience drives everything we do
Hireup was founded by siblings Laura and Jordan O’Reilly, inspired by their brother Shane, who lived with a profound disability, and their grandfather Frank, who needed aged care support.
