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 eating disorders as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; therapy, allied health, psychology, support work, social and community support, nursing, and occupational therapy 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 eating disorders 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.

Eating Disorders support across Queensland

Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder can become severe and enduring conditions that substantially affect a person's physical health, mental wellbeing, and ability to function in everyday life. The NDIS may provide funding for people whose eating disorder causes a permanent and substantial functional impairment that cannot be fully addressed through the standard health system. Access to coordinated NDIS supports can help people manage the practical and social impacts of their condition alongside clinical treatment.

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.

Understanding Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders

Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding and eating disorders (OSFED). They affect an estimated 1 million Australians, around 4.5% of the population (AIHW, Australia's health 2024), and anorexia nervosa carries one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric illness. Eating disorders are not a lifestyle choice; they are serious mental health conditions driven by complex biological, psychological, and social factors. When severe and chronic, eating disorders can cause psychosocial disability with permanent functional impairment, qualifying for NDIS support. The NDIS does not fund clinical eating disorder treatment (which is provided through the health system), but it can fund the practical disability support that helps the person function day to day while they work with their clinical team. This is a relatively new NDIS pathway, and access applications for eating disorders often require strong evidence and may face initial resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an eating disorder qualify for the NDIS?

Eating disorders can qualify for the NDIS when they are severe, enduring, and cause a permanent substantial functional impairment in areas such as self-care, nutrition management, social participation, or daily living - not simply because treatment has been long or difficult. The NDIS is not designed to fund eating disorder treatment itself, which is a health system responsibility, but it can fund supports that help a person function day to day and participate in the community. Carevo lists relevant service providers; confirm their condition-specific experience, credentials and local availability directly.

What NDIS supports are available for eating disorders in Queensland?

NDIS participants with severe eating disorders in Queensland may access supports including psychology, counselling, nursing for health monitoring and support with nutrition, support workers for daily living and meal support, occupational therapy, and psychosocial recovery coaching. Plans are tailored to individual goals and are designed to complement, not replace, clinical eating disorder treatment. Carevo helps people across the Queensland (QLD) find NDIS providers with experience supporting people with eating disorders and the complex needs they bring.

Can anorexia nervosa be covered by the NDIS in Queensland?

Anorexia nervosa may be covered by the NDIS when it is a severe and enduring form of the condition with a long-term impact on daily functioning, physical health management, and community participation. Because anorexia has significant medical as well as psychosocial dimensions, the NDIS and health systems often need to work together to ensure a person's needs are fully met. Carevo lists relevant service providers; confirm their condition-specific experience, credentials and local availability directly.

Can a support worker help with meals and daily living for someone with an eating disorder in Queensland?

Yes, support workers can assist people with severe eating disorders in Queensland with practical daily living tasks including meal preparation, maintaining routines, and accessing community activities - always working within the direction of the person's clinical treatment team. Having consistent, non-judgmental support from a trained support worker can reduce daily stress and help maintain stability outside of clinical settings. Carevo lists relevant service providers; confirm their condition-specific experience, credentials and local availability directly.

How does the NDIS work alongside eating disorder treatment in Queensland?

The NDIS funds the non-clinical supports that help a person live more independently and participate in the community, while clinical treatment such as medical monitoring, dietitian input, and psychiatric care remains the responsibility of the health system and treating teams. Getting the two systems working well together is important to avoid gaps or duplication in supports for someone in Queensland with a severe eating disorder. Carevo helps people across the Queensland (QLD) connect with NDIS support coordinators who can work collaboratively with treating health professionals to build a well-rounded support network.
