Is cerebral palsy 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 cerebral palsy as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; physiotherapy, occupational therapy, allied health, therapy, support work, and personal care 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 cerebral palsy 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 Cerebral Palsy usually need

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. The right mix of support depends on age, goals, living situation, and how much day-to-day impact cerebral palsy 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 Cerebral Palsy

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.

Allied Health Disciplines Assistive Technology Assessment

Assistive technology assessments identify the right wheelchairs, communication devices, and adaptive equipment to maximise independence and comfort.

 Community Access Support Continence Care Disability Services

Disability services coordinate comprehensive support across therapy, personal care, and community participation for people with complex CP presentations.

 Early Childhood Early Intervention Equipment Hire Sales Exercise Physiology

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.

Source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

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.

Source: NDIS Commission / Aged Care Commission

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 Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders caused by damage to the developing brain, usually before or during birth. It is the most common physical disability in childhood in Australia, affecting approximately 1.5 in every 1,000 births (AIHW, Cerebral palsy in Australia, 2025). CP presents in several forms: spastic (stiff muscles), dyskinetic (involuntary movements), ataxic (balance and coordination difficulties), or mixed. The severity ranges from mild, where a person walks independently but with an altered gait, to severe, where a person uses a powered wheelchair and needs full assistance with daily care. Many people with CP also experience speech difficulties, pain, fatigue, and secondary conditions like epilepsy or hip displacement. Support needs change across the lifespan. A child may focus on therapy and assistive technology, while an adult may prioritise personal care, employment, and maintaining physical function as they age.

How cerebral palsy affects daily life

Cerebral palsy affects daily life through limitations in movement, coordination, and sometimes speech. Dressing, eating, toileting, and moving around the home may require assistance or take much longer. Pain and fatigue are common but often underrecognised. Spasticity can worsen over time without regular physiotherapy and positioning. For children, school participation often requires additional support, equipment, and environmental modifications. Adults with CP commonly experience accelerated ageing effects, including increased pain and reduced mobility from their 30s onward, which means support needs may increase earlier than expected.

What to look for in a provider

A good CP provider understands the difference between spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxic presentations and tailors their approach accordingly. They focus on maintaining function and preventing deterioration, not just rehabilitation. Ask whether physiotherapists have neurological experience, how they manage pain and fatigue, and whether they coordinate with orthopaedic specialists and equipment suppliers. Red flags include providers who treat all CP the same, who do not monitor for hip surveillance or spasticity management, or whose support workers are not trained in manual handling, positioning, and communication with people who have dysarthria.

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.

Funding and costs for cerebral palsy support

Funding is assessed individually. A diagnosis does not determine a standard budget.

Common funding categories

There is no standard plan budget for this diagnosis. Obtain a written quote for the services, time, travel and cancellation terms you need, then check the applicable support item and your available funding.
