How we rank providers
Rankings in Queensland 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 down syndrome as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; therapy, allied health, support work, social and community support, personal care, and psychology 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 down syndrome 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 Queensland 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.

Down Syndrome support across Queensland
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.
Carevo lists 147 NDIS providers supporting down syndrome with active coverage across Queensland. Compare their response times and registration below, or narrow to your suburb.

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 CommissionAged 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.

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 CommissionUnderstanding Down Syndrome
Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 and is the most common chromosomal condition in Australia, occurring in around 1 in 1,100 births (AIHW Congenital Anomalies in Australia, 2017). It affects physical and intellectual development, though the degree of impact varies significantly between individuals. People with Down syndrome typically experience some level of intellectual disability, characteristic facial features, and increased risk of certain health conditions including heart defects, thyroid disorders, hearing loss, and sleep apnoea. With the right support, many people with Down syndrome attend mainstream schools, gain employment, form relationships, and live semi-independently. Life expectancy has increased dramatically over the past few decades, with most people now living into their 60s. This means support needs to be planned across the full lifespan, including the transition from childhood to adulthood and eventually into ageing.
