Autism & Developmental

15 conditions

Autism

Autism

Autism spectrum disorder affects communication, sensory processing, routines, and the way a person experiences everyday environments. NDIS participants with autism often need a mix of speech pathology, OT, behaviour support, psychology, support workers, and school-or-community-based strategies that work together rather than in isolation. Because support needs vary so widely, the most useful comparison is not who says they support autism, but who can show practical experience with regulation, communication, rapport, and family goals.

Behaviour supportOccupational therapySpeech pathology
Intellectual Disability

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability affects learning, problem-solving, communication, and everyday adaptive skills, so support usually needs to be practical, consistent, and paced appropriately. NDIS participants with intellectual disability often use support workers, life skills programs, community access, behaviour support, and SIL to build capability without losing dignity or choice. The strongest providers are usually the ones who can turn broad goals like independence or community participation into repeatable routines that actually work day to day.

Support workersLife skills developmentSIL accommodation
Developmental Delay

Developmental Delay

Developmental delay means a child is not reaching milestones at the expected pace across areas such as communication, movement, play, behaviour, or daily living skills. Early intervention usually works best when speech pathology, OT, physio, and family support are coordinated around what the child needs right now at home, childcare, or school. For young children, the biggest win is often getting the right support started early rather than waiting for a perfect label or a long diagnostic process.

Early interventionSpeech pathologyOccupational therapy
Down Syndrome

Down Syndrome

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, which affects physical and intellectual development. The NDIS provides funding for therapies, support workers, and life skills programs to help people with Down syndrome reach their potential. Many adults with Down syndrome are living increasingly independent lives, and support that focuses on building skills rather than doing things for them makes a measurable difference over time.

Speech pathologyOccupational therapyPhysiotherapy
ADHD

ADHD

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention, impulse control, and executive function. While ADHD alone may not always qualify for the NDIS, participants with ADHD and co-occurring conditions can access therapy, behaviour support, and life skills development. Many adults only receive an ADHD diagnosis later in life, and finding a support worker who understands the practical strategies that help with time management, task initiation, and emotional regulation can make a bigger difference than clinical support alone.

PsychologyOccupational therapyBehaviour support
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a lifelong condition caused by prenatal alcohol exposure that affects brain development, behaviour, and learning. NDIS participants with FASD often benefit from behaviour support, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and support workers who understand the condition's unique cognitive profile. Early diagnosis and tailored support can significantly improve outcomes for people with FASD.

Occupational therapySpeech pathologyBehaviour support
Prader-Willi Syndrome

Prader-Willi Syndrome

Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects appetite regulation, muscle tone, intellectual functioning, and behaviour. NDIS participants with Prader-Willi syndrome typically need support with dietary management, behaviour support, daily living skills, and structured routine to manage the condition's unique challenges. Consistent, well-coordinated support across home, school, and community settings leads to better outcomes.

Behaviour supportOccupational therapyPsychology
Williams Syndrome

Williams Syndrome

Williams syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused by a deletion on chromosome 7 that affects development, intellectual functioning, and cardiovascular health. NDIS participants with Williams syndrome often access speech pathology, occupational therapy, and social support programs to build communication, daily living, and community participation skills. People with Williams syndrome are often highly sociable and benefit greatly from supported social engagement.

Speech pathologyOccupational therapyPsychology
Rett Syndrome

Rett Syndrome

Rett syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that primarily affects females and involves a regression in development, loss of hand use, and significant communication and motor difficulties. NDIS participants with Rett syndrome typically require high-level personal care, physiotherapy, communication support, and assistive technology due to the profound nature of the condition. Specialised support from providers experienced with Rett syndrome makes a significant difference to quality of life.

PhysiotherapyOccupational therapySpeech pathology
Angelman Syndrome

Angelman Syndrome

Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting the nervous system that causes significant intellectual disability, limited or absent speech, seizures, and balance problems. NDIS participants with Angelman syndrome benefit from speech pathology, behaviour support, occupational therapy, and personal care that accounts for the high support needs associated with the condition. Families and carers play a central role in supporting people with Angelman syndrome throughout life.

Speech pathologyOccupational therapyBehaviour support
Fragile X Syndrome

Fragile X Syndrome

Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability, also associated with autism-like behaviours, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and speech and language delays. As a permanent genetic condition, Fragile X syndrome qualifies for NDIS, with supports commonly including behaviour support, speech pathology, occupational therapy, and support workers. Early intervention is particularly beneficial for children with Fragile X.

Behaviour supportSpeech pathologyOccupational therapy
Tuberous Sclerosis

Tuberous Sclerosis

Tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare genetic condition causing non-cancerous tumours to grow in the brain and other organs, often leading to epilepsy, intellectual disability, autism spectrum features, and skin abnormalities. TSC qualifies for NDIS as a permanent condition with wide-ranging functional impacts. Supports commonly include behaviour support, occupational therapy, nursing, and personal care.

Behaviour supportOccupational therapyNursing care
Speech Delay

Speech Delay

Speech delay and language disorders involve difficulties in developing speech sounds, vocabulary, grammar, or understanding language at the expected age and rate. NDIS participants and children eligible for the NDIS Early Childhood approach can access speech pathology to build communication skills that support learning, relationships, and daily life. Early intervention in the preschool years leads to significantly better long-term communication outcomes.

Speech pathologyEarly childhood interventionOccupational therapy
Dyspraxia

Dyspraxia

Dyspraxia, also known as developmental coordination disorder (DCD), is a neurological condition that affects motor planning and coordination, making everyday physical tasks more difficult. NDIS participants with dyspraxia often benefit from occupational therapy and physiotherapy to develop motor skills, build self-care independence, and participate in school and community activities. Early identification and tailored support can greatly improve outcomes for children and adults with DCD.

Occupational therapyPhysiotherapySpeech pathology
Sensory Processing Disorder

Sensory Processing Disorder

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) involves difficulties in the way the nervous system receives and responds to sensory information, which can affect behaviour, daily routines, and participation in everyday life. NDIS participants with SPD often benefit from occupational therapy using sensory integration approaches to build tolerance, regulation, and functional independence. SPD frequently co-occurs with autism, ADHD, and other developmental conditions.

Psychosocial & Mental Health

9 conditions

Psychosocial Disability

Psychosocial Disability

Psychosocial disability arises when a mental health condition has a substantial and lasting impact on everyday functioning, relationships, housing stability, work, or community participation. NDIS supports often include recovery coaching, support coordination, psychology, counselling, and practical daily support that can flex when capacity changes. The best providers in this space usually combine consistency with autonomy: they know how to stay useful on hard days without becoming controlling, clinical, or generic.

Psychosocial recovery coachingPsychologyCounselling
Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a serious psychosocial disability that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, often causing hallucinations, delusions, and difficulty with daily functioning. The NDIS recognises schizophrenia as a permanent disability when it significantly impacts a person's capacity to participate in daily life and the community. With the right support network in place, many people living with schizophrenia can work toward their recovery goals and build a meaningful life.

PsychologyPsychosocial Recovery CoachingSpecialist Support Coordination
Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a psychosocial condition characterised by significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels that cycle between manic or hypomanic episodes and periods of depression. When the condition has a long-term and substantial impact on a person's daily functioning, the NDIS may provide funding to support recovery, community participation, and independent living. Early access to consistent supports can help people living with bipolar disorder manage their condition and pursue their goals.

PsychologyCounsellingPsychosocial Recovery Coaching
PTSD

PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, causing persistent symptoms such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, avoidance, and difficulty with daily functioning. The NDIS can provide funding for people whose PTSD causes a permanent and substantial reduction in their capacity to participate in everyday life. Trauma-informed supports can help people manage symptoms, reconnect with their community, and work toward recovery.

PsychologyTrauma-Informed CounsellingPsychosocial Recovery Coaching
OCD

OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition involving unwanted intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours or mental acts that a person feels compelled to perform, often consuming significant time and interfering with daily life. When OCD causes a permanent and substantial functional impairment, the NDIS may provide support to help a person manage daily activities, build independence, and access specialist therapy. Access to consistent, evidence-based support can significantly improve quality of life for people living with severe OCD.

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a psychosocial condition characterised by intense emotional responses, unstable relationships, difficulties with self-image, and impulsive behaviours that can significantly affect a person's day-to-day functioning. When BPD causes a permanent and substantial functional impairment, the NDIS may fund supports to assist with daily living, community participation, and building capacity for a more stable and independent life. Accessing the right mix of therapeutic and practical supports can make a meaningful difference for people living with BPD.

PsychologyDialectical Behaviour TherapyPsychosocial Recovery Coaching
Severe Anxiety Disorders

Severe Anxiety Disorders

Severe anxiety disorders include conditions such as generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and agoraphobia when they are chronic and cause significant impairment in a person's ability to function in daily life. The NDIS may provide funding when anxiety is a permanent and substantial disability rather than a condition fully manageable through standard health system supports. With appropriate NDIS supports in place, people living with severe anxiety can work toward greater independence and community participation.

PsychologyCounsellingPsychosocial Recovery Coaching
Eating Disorders

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder can become severe and enduring conditions that substantially affect a person's physical health, mental wellbeing, and ability to function in everyday life. The NDIS may provide funding for people whose eating disorder causes a permanent and substantial functional impairment that cannot be fully addressed through the standard health system. Access to coordinated NDIS supports can help people manage the practical and social impacts of their condition alongside clinical treatment.

Depression in Older Adults

Depression in Older Adults

Depression and anxiety are among the most under-recognised conditions affecting older Australians, often dismissed as a normal part of ageing when in fact they are highly treatable. Home care services through the Support at Home program can fund psychology, social support, and allied health services to address mental health needs at home. Early identification and access to appropriate support can significantly improve wellbeing and quality of life for older people experiencing depression.

Dementia & Cognitive Decline

3 conditions

Dementia

Dementia

Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, judgement, communication, and everyday function, so support needs usually change over time rather than staying static. Support at Home can fund personal care, nursing, respite, home safety changes, and dementia-capable workers who know how to respond calmly to confusion, resistance, wandering risk, and late-day deterioration. The most useful provider comparison is often not who offers the most services on paper, but who can keep the person settled, safe, and at home for longer while communicating clearly with family.

Dementia-specialist nursingPersonal careRespite care
Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Both NDIS participants and aged care recipients with Parkinson's can access physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology to manage symptoms and maintain independence. Support needs often increase over time, making coordinated care planning an important part of living well with Parkinson's.

ABI, Stroke & Neuro Rehab

3 conditions

Acquired Brain Injury

Acquired Brain Injury

Acquired brain injury happens after birth and can affect mobility, speech, fatigue, executive function, behaviour, memory, and emotional regulation all at once. NDIS support for ABI often needs to combine neuro rehab, cognitive support, personal care, and structured routines that reduce overload while rebuilding independence. The strongest providers are usually the ones who understand ABI beyond the physical presentation and can manage fatigue, behaviour change, and rehab carryover in everyday life. This page covers traumatic brain injury (TBI) as well, since TBI is one form of acquired brain injury: the difference is the cause, an external impact rather than stroke, infection, tumour or oxygen deprivation, while the day to day supports are largely the same.

PhysiotherapyOccupational therapySpeech pathology
Post-Stroke Care

Post-Stroke Care

Stroke can leave lasting effects on mobility, speech, cognition, and daily functioning, requiring ongoing rehabilitation and personal support at home. the Support at Home program can fund physiotherapy, speech pathology, occupational therapy, and personal care to support recovery. Early and consistent rehabilitation at home has been shown to improve long-term outcomes for stroke survivors. This page covers stroke support generally, from the first weeks at home through longer term rehabilitation, including physiotherapy for mobility and strength, speech pathology for communication and swallowing, and occupational therapy for daily living.

Hearing, Vision & Sensory

3 conditions

Hearing Impairment

Hearing Impairment

Hearing impairment ranges from mild hearing loss to profound deafness and can affect communication, safety, confidence in public settings, and access to work, appointments, and community life. NDIS support may include audiology, hearing devices, communication support, captioning, and Auslan interpreting, but practical fit matters: the best support reduces communication fatigue and missed information rather than simply adding another appointment. For people who use Auslan, fluent workers and qualified interpreters are often a more meaningful differentiator than a broad generic service list. Age related hearing loss (presbycusis) is covered here too. Which funding stream applies depends on your age and circumstances, and the boundary between the Hearing Services Program and the NDIS is the thing most people get caught on, so confirm your pathway with an assessor before arranging services.

AudiologySpeech pathologyHearing devices
Vision Impairment

Vision Impairment

Vision impairment includes low vision and blindness that cannot be fully corrected and often affects mobility, reading, technology access, household routines, and confidence in unfamiliar environments. NDIS support can include orientation and mobility training, assistive technology, OT, daily living skills, and community access, with the biggest gains often coming from practical changes that make travel and everyday tasks safer and more repeatable. The strongest providers are usually the ones who can link home strategies, technology, and independent travel into one usable plan. Age related vision loss is covered here as well, including macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataract related low vision.

Orientation and mobility trainingAssistive technologyOccupational therapy
Deaf-Blindness

Deaf-Blindness

Deaf-blindness is a combined vision and hearing impairment that significantly affects communication, mobility, and access to information, regardless of whether each individual loss is total or partial. NDIS recognises deaf-blindness as a disability requiring highly specialised supports including interveners, orientation and mobility training, and communication support. Participants with dual sensory impairment typically require customised plans that address both conditions together.

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a group of conditions affecting movement, posture, and coordination caused by damage to the developing brain. NDIS participants with cerebral palsy commonly access physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and assistive technology. The type and level of CP varies greatly between individuals, so a provider experienced specifically with cerebral palsy will understand the difference between spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxic presentations rather than treating all movement difficulties the same way.

PhysiotherapyOccupational therapySpeech therapy
Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury results in partial or complete loss of motor and sensory function below the level of injury. NDIS support for spinal cord injury includes physiotherapy, personal care, assistive technology, and home modifications to maintain maximum independence. A complete injury has different functional implications to an incomplete injury, so providers listed on Carevo who specify spinal cord injury experience are worth prioritising when comparing your options.

Families never pay Carevo. Providers pay a subscription to connect with families, with no commission or paid ranking. How Carevo works

How we rank providers

Rankings in Australia use directory relevance and observable activity on Carevo: service match, distance, register-sourced status fields, whether an enquiry can reach the provider, and recent response and connection activity. Rankings are recalculated daily. They do not assess care quality or recommend a provider.

  • Activity on Carevo. We measure recent actions such as connecting on an enquiry, opening its contact details, responding, and an inquirer reporting whether a connection helped. These are platform activity signals, not an assessment of the support delivered.
  • Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
  • Register-sourced status. NDIS registration fields come from the NDIS Commission provider register. Aged care approval fields come from the My Aged Care register. These statuses are ranking inputs, not Carevo endorsements, and you should confirm the current register entry before choosing a provider.
  • Carevo enquiries. Providers who have paused requests from us are moved down among providers with the same relevance. They stay visible and are marked as not receiving Carevo enquiries.
  • Recent activity. Providers active on Carevo recently (a connection, a login, or a profile update) get a small boost, the same signal shown as "Active this week" on their card. It is deliberately small: stronger relevance and condition evidence outweigh a recent login.
  • Local presence. Providers confirmed in Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.

What the Carevo activity rating means

The Strong activity rating describes how a provider behaves on Carevo, not the care they deliver.

Where it starts
Every provider starts at a baseline of 50.
What moves it
Enquiries from the last 90 days. The strongest positive is a care seeker naming that provider as the one who helped them. The clearest negative is connecting on an enquiry and never opening the contact details.
How it is kept honest
Recalculated daily from scratch, shown only above the baseline and only with at least two scored signals, and removed automatically when either stops being true. It cannot be purchased.

It is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or an assessment of care quality, and we do not screen providers for complaints. Complaints are handled by the NDIS Commission and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. See the full activity rating methodology.
