Every job through Nest and Nurture Society runs on the same fair-pay model in Elwood as everywhere else. The customer pays a minimum of $70/hr, the business keeps a flat $20/hr, never a percentage, and the cleaner takes home the rest, a minimum of $50/hr.

Elwood pay minimums
The business keeps a flat $20/hr, never a percentage. The cleaner is paid the job rate minus that flat fee.
These are minimums, not standard rates. Premium and same-day Elwood jobs charge out higher, and the full upside goes to the cleaner.
The work in Elwood
Elwood work is mostly recurring cleans for family homes near the canal and foreshore, plus apartment cleans closer to the beach. There is far less short-stay and Airbnb volume here than in St Kilda, so the work is more consistent and appointment-based.
Getting around Elwood
Trams 3, 3a and 67 run along Glen Huntly Road and Brighton Road at Elwood's edges, and bus 246 covers Beaconsfield Parade along the foreshore. Most jobs are a short walk from a tram stop.
