Is amputation covered by the NDIS?

NDIS access is assessed individually. You must meet the age and residence requirements and the disability or early intervention requirements. A diagnosis alone does not establish eligibility, a funded support or a particular budget. Ask your treating practitioner for evidence of permanence, functional impact and the support you need. The NDIA decides access and funding.

Funding is based on individual eligibility and functional impact, not diagnosis alone. Read the full funding pathway or use the eligibility checker for the next steps.

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.

  • How this list is built. Providers shown here either list amputation as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; therapy, allied health, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, personal care, and support work are used only as supporting service-match signals. Relevant enquiry activity ranks above self-declaration. A connection records willingness to make contact, not proof that support started, was completed, or went well.
  • 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.
  • Condition-specific activity. Providers who have connected on enquiries associated with amputation rank above providers who only list it as a capability. A connection is not proof of experience, quality, or a completed service.
  • 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 enquiries status means

It answers one question: would a request sent through Carevo today actually reach them? It is not a rating, it is not about the provider's books, and it is not a statement about their capacity, their waiting list, or the quality of their care.

Receiving
At least one contact on their account is set up to receive new requests from us, and someone has signed in recently enough for us to say a person is there.
Not receiving
Every contact on the account has unsubscribed or paused, so we have no way to pass an enquiry on.
No status shown
We cannot tell either way, so we say nothing rather than label the provider. The account is set to receive enquiries, but nobody has signed in recently, or there are no contact details on file. It is not a negative mark, and most listings sit here.

A provider who is not receiving our enquiries may well be taking new clients directly. Providers set this themselves and can turn it back on at any time from their Carevo account or from any email we send them. Providers not receiving our enquiries are moved down the list and never hidden. It is refreshed daily, so a provider who resumes, or signs in, reappears within a day.

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.

How we calculate provider numbers

What support people with Amputation usually need

Amputation involves the surgical or traumatic removal of a limb or part of a limb, which can significantly affect mobility, daily function, and wellbeing. NDIS participants with limb loss can access prosthetic assessment, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and personal care to rebuild independence and confidence. Psychological support is also an important part of adapting to limb loss, particularly in the period after amputation. The right mix of support depends on age, goals, living situation, and how much day-to-day impact amputation has.

Physical support and independence

Many people compare providers for personal care, physiotherapy, assistive technology (wheelchairs, hoists, home modifications), and support workers who can handle physical transfers and mobility assistance safely.

Therapy and equipment

The most common starting points are physiotherapy, occupational therapy, exercise physiology, and assistive technology assessments. For progressive conditions, regular therapy review matters more than a one-off plan.

Choosing the right fit

Physical disability support needs providers whose workers are trained in safe manual handling, understand assistive equipment, and can deliver support that maintains independence rather than creating dependency.

Services and providers to compare first for Amputation

For physical and mobility conditions, physiotherapy, assistive technology, and personal care are usually the first services to compare. Focus on providers with experience in your specific condition rather than general disability support.

What usually separates a strong provider from a generic one

  • • Manual handling competency and experience with physical transfers, hoists, and mobility equipment
  • • Whether therapists understand the specific condition's progression and can adjust treatment accordingly
  • • Assistive technology assessment and prescription capability (wheelchairs, home mods, adaptive equipment)
  • • Availability of support workers trained for high-physical-support needs, including overnight or morning routines

How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo shows register-sourced status fields and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm the current entry 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.

Aged care approval

The aged care approval label is sourced from the Australian Government's My Aged Care provider register. Confirm the current entry and the services listed there before choosing a provider.

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.

01

Map physical support needs

Work out whether the main priorities are therapy, personal care, equipment and home modifications, or a combination that needs coordinating across providers.

02

Compare condition-specific providers

Look for providers whose therapists and support workers have experience with the specific physical condition, not just general mobility support. Compare equipment capability and manual handling training.

03

Confirm practical logistics

Ask about morning/evening routine availability, how transfers and personal care are handled, equipment maintenance, and whether the provider can cover weekends or overnight if needed.

For NDIS participants with physical conditions, confirm whether the provider can coordinate across therapy, personal care, and assistive technology, and whether support workers are trained in the manual handling and equipment relevant to your condition.

Understanding Amputation and Limb Loss

Amputation and limb loss affect thousands of Australians, with diabetes-related vascular disease the leading cause (around 5,400 hospitalisations for lower limb amputation linked to type 2 diabetes in 2017-18, AIHW), alongside trauma, cancer, and congenital limb deficiency. The most common amputations are below-knee and above-knee, though upper limb amputation and multiple limb loss also occur. The functional impact depends on the level and number of amputations, the person's age and overall health, and whether a prosthesis can be fitted and used effectively. Beyond the physical changes, limb loss often involves significant psychological adjustment, including grief, phantom limb pain, body image challenges, and identity shifts. With the right prosthetic, rehabilitation, and support, many amputees return to work, sport, and full community participation. The NDIS funds prosthetics, physiotherapy, psychology, and practical support for people whose amputation causes significant and permanent functional impairment.

How amputation affects daily life

Limb loss changes how a person moves, balances, carries objects, drives, and performs daily tasks. Lower limb amputation affects walking, standing, and balance. Upper limb amputation affects grip, carrying, dressing, cooking, and typing. Phantom limb pain (pain felt in the missing limb) is common and can be severe. Stump care requires daily attention to prevent skin breakdown and infection. Energy expenditure for walking with a prosthesis is significantly higher than normal walking, which causes fatigue. Prosthetic fitting and adjustment is an ongoing process, not a one-off event. Many amputees also manage the underlying condition that caused the amputation, such as diabetes or vascular disease.

What to look for in a provider

Good limb loss providers combine physical rehabilitation with psychological support and practical daily living training. Ask whether their physiotherapists have prosthetic rehabilitation experience, whether they work with a prosthetist, and how they address phantom pain. Red flags include providers who focus only on the physical aspects without addressing grief, body image, and mental health, or who have no experience with prosthetic training. Peer support from other amputees is also highly valuable and worth asking about. Providers who coordinate with prosthetists and rehabilitation physicians tend to deliver better outcomes than those working in isolation.

Full funding pathway

NDIS access is assessed individually. You must meet the age and residence requirements and the disability or early intervention requirements. A diagnosis alone does not establish eligibility, a funded support or a particular budget. Ask your treating practitioner for evidence of permanence, functional impact and the support you need. The NDIA decides access and funding. Plan duration and reassessment dates vary; request a change if your circumstances or support needs change.
