Is epilepsy 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 epilepsy as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; nursing, support work, personal care, allied health, therapy, 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 epilepsy 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 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.

Assistance Dog Support Complex Care Disability Services

Disability services provide coordinated support packages for people whose epilepsy is part of a more complex disability profile including intellectual disability or brain injury.

 Ndis Specialist Support Coordination Neuropsychology Nursing Care Services

Nursing care manages medication regimens, emergency seizure response protocols, and health monitoring for people with complex or drug-resistant epilepsy.

 Personal Emergency Alarm Systems Pharmacy Home Medication Review

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

The Epilepsy provider network on Carevo

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.

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.

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

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.

02

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.

03

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.

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 epilepsy support

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

Common funding categories

Core - Assistance with Daily Life Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living Capital - Assistive Technology Core - Assistance with Social and Community Participation Capacity Building - Improved Health and Wellbeing Capacity Building - Support Coordination

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. Published NDIS prices are limits for applicable managed supports, not an estimate of individual entitlement. Self-managed participants can negotiate rates under their funding rules.

Check the linked government sources and obtain a quote before committing funds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is epilepsy 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.

Which providers have engaged with epilepsy enquiries in Australia?

On Carevo, New Leaf Support Care and Quality in Home Health (QHH) have the strongest epilepsy enquiry activity among the providers listed here. This records referrals they chose to engage with, not proof that support started, was completed, or went well.

Does epilepsy qualify for the NDIS?

Epilepsy can qualify for the NDIS when seizures are not fully controlled by treatment and the condition substantially affects daily life, for example needing supervision for safety, support after seizures, or help getting into the community. The NDIS looks at functional impact, not the diagnosis alone, so an access request should include evidence from your neurologist or GP about seizure frequency, treatments tried, and what you need help with day to day. Well-controlled epilepsy with little functional impact usually does not meet the criteria on its own.

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 lists relevant service providers; confirm their condition-specific experience, credentials and local availability directly.

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 relevant service providers; confirm their condition-specific experience, credentials and local availability directly. 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 relevant service providers; confirm their condition-specific experience, credentials and local availability directly.

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.
