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, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, personal care, and support work, the support types most relevant to amputation. They are then ranked by demonstrated experience with amputation, providers who have actively claimed and supported amputation 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 amputation 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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

How to access funding

Amputation or congenital absence of two limbs is on the NDIS List A, so access is generally automatic without further functional assessment, while single-limb amputation falls under List B, which requires evidence of substantially reduced functional capacity. A surgeon, rehabilitation physician, or GP can provide diagnostic evidence. Prosthetics are funded through the NDIS under Capital - Assistive Technology, but the cost varies enormously depending on the type and technology level of the prosthesis. Plans are reviewed annually, and prosthetic replacement cycles (typically every 3-5 years for adults) should be factored into long-term planning.
