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 nursing, support work, personal care, allied health, therapy, and psychology, the support types most relevant to epilepsy. They are then ranked by demonstrated experience with epilepsy, providers who have actively claimed and supported epilepsy 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 epilepsy 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 Epilepsy usually need

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent seizures. People with epilepsy who experience significant functional impact may access NDIS supports including nursing care, personal care, support workers, and seizure management training. Not all seizures look the same, and providers who work with people with epilepsy should have up-to-date seizure first aid training and a clear Seizure Management Plan on file before they start working with a new participant. The right mix of support depends on age, goals, living situation, and how much day-to-day impact epilepsy has.

Managing daily health routines

Many people compare providers for nursing support, medication management, personal care during flare-ups or high-symptom periods, and help maintaining daily routines when energy or capacity is limited.

Clinical and allied health support

The most common starting points are nursing care, exercise physiology, occupational therapy, and dietetics. For conditions with variable symptoms, finding a provider who understands fluctuating capacity is essential.

Choosing the right fit

Chronic conditions often involve unpredictable symptom changes. Look for providers who can adjust support flexibly, have nursing or clinical staff available, and understand that some days require more help than others.

Services and providers to compare first for Epilepsy

For chronic and complex medical conditions, nursing support and flexible personal care are usually the first services to compare. Focus on providers who understand symptom variability and can adjust support accordingly.

What usually separates a strong provider from a generic one

  • • Whether the provider has nursing staff or clinical capability relevant to the specific condition
  • • Flexibility to adjust support hours when symptoms fluctuate or flare up
  • • Experience with the specific chronic condition rather than general personal care
  • • Coordination with GPs, specialists, and hospitals for ongoing medical management

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.

Source: My Aged Care (Department of Health and Aged Care)

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. Identify clinical and daily needs

Work out whether the main gaps are nursing or clinical support, personal care during difficult periods, therapy, or help managing daily routines around variable symptoms.

2. Compare flexible providers

Look for providers who can adjust support hours and intensity when symptoms change. Compare how they coordinate with your medical team and handle urgent or unplanned needs.

3. Confirm medical coordination

Ask how the provider communicates with your GP or specialist, whether nursing staff are available, and what happens if you need to increase or pause support at short notice.

For NDIS participants with chronic conditions, confirm whether the provider can coordinate with your medical team, adjust support hours during flare-ups, and provide nursing or clinical staff when needed.

Understanding Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects an estimated 151,000 Australians, around 0.6% of the population (AIHW, Epilepsy in Australia, based on the ABS 2017-18 National Health Survey). Seizures vary enormously: some people experience brief absence seizures that last a few seconds, while others have tonic-clonic seizures involving loss of consciousness and convulsions. Epilepsy is often well managed with medication, but around 30% of people have drug-resistant epilepsy that continues to cause seizures despite treatment. For those with significant functional impact, the NDIS provides support including nursing care, support workers, safety equipment, and therapy. The condition does not just affect the moments of a seizure. The fear of when the next one will happen, driving restrictions, employment limitations, medication side effects, and memory difficulties can all have a major effect on quality of life.

How epilepsy affects daily life

Epilepsy affects daily life through the seizures themselves and through the restrictions they create. Many people cannot drive, which limits employment and independence. The unpredictability of seizures creates anxiety about being alone, particularly during activities like bathing, cooking, or swimming. Post-seizure recovery can take hours or days. Medication side effects often include fatigue, cognitive slowing, and mood changes. Memory and concentration difficulties are common even between seizures. For people with drug-resistant epilepsy, the daily impact can be severe, requiring someone nearby at all times for safety.

What to look for in a provider

Good epilepsy providers ensure that every worker supporting the person has current seizure first aid training and access to the person's Seizure Management Plan. Ask how they train their staff on seizure types (not all seizures look like convulsions), whether they can manage emergency medication (like midazolam), and how they balance safety with independence. Red flags include providers who have no seizure management protocol, whose workers have not received epilepsy-specific training, or who respond to seizure risk by restricting activities rather than managing risk proportionally.

How to access funding

Epilepsy is on the NDIS List B, requiring evidence of permanent and significant functional impairment. A neurologist's report documenting the seizure type, frequency, and functional impact is the primary evidence needed. Well-controlled epilepsy with no residual functional impact is unlikely to meet NDIS criteria, but drug-resistant epilepsy with associated risks, restrictions, and secondary effects usually does. Plans are reviewed annually. Epilepsy Action Australia can provide guidance on the NDIS access process and connecting with support services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the NDIS fund support workers and safety equipment for epilepsy in Australia?

NDIS participants with epilepsy in Australia may access funding for support workers who are trained in seizure management, safety equipment, assistive technology, and community participation support. Carevo connects participants and carers in your area with providers experienced in supporting people with epilepsy.

Can I get NDIS funding if my epilepsy is controlled by medication in Australia?

If medication fully controls your seizures with no residual functional impact, you may not meet NDIS eligibility. However, many people with epilepsy in Australia experience breakthrough seizures, medication side effects, driving restrictions, or cognitive impacts that significantly affect daily life. Your neurologist can document these functional limitations to support your NDIS access request.

How do I find a support worker trained in seizure management in Australia?

Carevo lists support workers in Australia who are trained in seizure first aid and epilepsy management. Look for providers with relevant training and experience. All support workers should have current first aid certification including seizure response.

What nursing support is available for epilepsy through the NDIS in Australia?

NDIS-funded nurses in Australia can assist with medication management, seizure monitoring, emergency seizure response plans, and health assessments for people with epilepsy. Nursing visits can be scheduled regularly or as needed. Carevo lists nursing providers experienced with epilepsy in your area.

What assistive technology is available for epilepsy through the NDIS?

NDIS participants with epilepsy in Australia may access seizure detection monitors, medical alert systems, protective headgear, and bed sensors. An occupational therapist or neurologist can recommend appropriate devices, which may be funded through your assistive technology budget.
