With these organizations you also have the added advantage of knowing that worker\u2019s references have been screened thoroughly and that people entering your home will have current Australian police checks.<\/p>\n

Your local free home delivered newspaper (EG: Melbourne Weekly, or Leader Newspaper) will also have a classified advertising section where you can find local suppliers of these services. Locals will often prove to be a slightly better value for money than the larger centralised organisatons, who have larger cost overheads.<\/p>\n

Its also a good idea to ask neighbours or colleagues for recommendations.<\/p>\n
