How we rank providers

Rankings in Australia are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.

  • How this list is built. Providers shown here offer therapy, allied health, psychology, support work, and social and community support, the support types most relevant to adhd. They are then ranked by demonstrated experience with adhd, providers who have actively claimed and supported adhd referrals rank above those who only list it as a capability.
  • Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
  • Condition-specific track record. Providers who have accepted and worked with adhd referrals on Carevo rank above those who only list the condition as a capability. We weight providers using their demonstrated experience with this cohort, not self-declared specialisations.
  • Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
  • Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
  • Local presence. Providers confirmed in Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.

What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

How we calculate provider numbers

What support people with ADHD usually need

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. The right mix of support depends on age, goals, living situation, and how much day-to-day impact ADHD has.

Routines and daily living

Families usually start by comparing providers who can reduce friction in the hardest parts of the day: getting ready, eating, toileting, transitions, community access, and building independence without escalating stress at home.

Therapy and skill building

The highest-value comparisons are usually speech pathology, occupational therapy, behaviour support, and early intervention. The question is less 'who offers therapy' and more 'who can work on communication, regulation, and practical function in the same direction.'

Choosing the right fit

Families usually need providers who understand sensory load, communication differences, school or childcare transitions, and how to build trust slowly. A generic disability provider is rarely enough if rapport and consistency are poor.

Services and providers to compare first for ADHD

For developmental conditions, compare the services that remove the biggest daily bottlenecks first: communication, regulation, behaviour, routines, and participation. The strongest providers usually coordinate across therapy and support work instead of leaving families to stitch everything together.

What usually separates a strong provider from a generic one

  • • Experience with developmental and neurodivergent conditions, not just general disability support
  • • Whether therapists can turn assessment goals into practical routines at home, school, or in the community
  • • Staff consistency and how well workers build rapport over time rather than changing faces every few weeks
  • • Flexibility to adjust support during key transitions such as starting school, adolescence, or moving toward independent living

How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo lists the registration details a provider reports and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm them yourself. Here is what each listing shows and where to check it. A listing on Carevo is not an endorsement.

NDIS registration

Listings show whether a provider reports being NDIS registered. You can confirm a provider's current registration and approved support types yourself on the NDIS Commission's public provider register.

Source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

Aged care approval

Listings show aged care approval where it is recorded. You can check a provider's current approval and the services they deliver on the Australian Government's My Aged Care find a provider service.

Source: My Aged Care (Department of Health and Aged Care)

ABN you can check

Most listings include the provider's Australian Business Number, shown on the profile. You can look it up on the Australian Business Register to confirm the business is registered and active.

Complaints process

If you have a concern about any provider, you can lodge a complaint with the NDIS Commission or the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission at any time. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

What happens after you request support

The next step is usually to narrow the services that matter most, shortlist two or three realistic providers, and ask practical questions about fit, availability, staff continuity, and how support will work in real life.

1. Map current barriers

Identify whether the main gaps are in communication, daily routines, behaviour, social participation, or independence at home.

2. Compare therapy and support options

Look at providers who offer the right therapy mix and support workers who understand how to work with developmental conditions in practice.

3. Check rapport and consistency

Ask about staff continuity, how therapists adapt to the person's communication style, and whether you can trial before committing.

For NDIS participants with developmental conditions, it also helps to confirm whether the provider can coordinate across therapies (e.g. OT and speech working together on the same goals) and whether support workers are trained in the specific condition.

Understanding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention, impulse control, and executive function. It affects approximately 6-8% of Australian children, making it the most common mental disorder of childhood, and an estimated 2-4% of adults, with adult diagnosis rates rising as awareness improves (AIHW). ADHD presents in three forms: predominantly inattentive (difficulty sustaining focus, organisation, and following through), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (restlessness, interrupting, difficulty waiting), and combined. ADHD alone does not automatically qualify for the NDIS. To meet the NDIS access criteria, the condition must cause permanent and significant functional impairment. Many NDIS participants with ADHD also have co-occurring conditions such as autism, anxiety, learning disabilities, or oppositional defiant disorder, which strengthen the case for access. For those who do access the NDIS, supports focus on building practical strategies for daily life rather than treating the ADHD itself.

How ADHD affects daily life

ADHD affects daily life through difficulties with time management, task initiation, organisation, emotional regulation, and sustained attention. People with ADHD may struggle to maintain routines, keep their home tidy, pay bills on time, arrive at appointments, and complete tasks at work or school. Relationships can be strained by forgetfulness, impulsivity, and emotional reactivity. Children with ADHD often struggle with homework, classroom behaviour, and friendships. The daily impact is often underestimated because ADHD is an invisible condition, and the effort required to compensate is not apparent to others.

What to look for in a provider

Good ADHD providers use evidence-based strategies that translate into real daily life, not just clinical settings. Ask whether their psychologists use cognitive behavioural therapy adapted for ADHD, whether OTs can set up practical systems for organisation and routine, and whether support workers understand ADHD-specific challenges like task paralysis and time blindness. Red flags include providers who only focus on medication compliance (which is a GP or psychiatrist role, not an NDIS one), who treat ADHD as a behaviour problem rather than a neurological difference, or who use approaches designed for intellectual disability without adapting them.

How to access funding

ADHD is not included on any of the NDIS access lists (List A or List B), so access requires evidence that the condition causes permanent and significant functional impairment. A psychiatrist or paediatrician diagnosis plus a functional assessment (often from a psychologist or OT) showing substantial limitations in daily living, work, education, or social participation is the standard evidence package. Many people access the NDIS with ADHD plus a co-occurring condition. Plans are reviewed annually. If your initial access request is rejected, you can request an internal review with additional functional evidence.
