How we rank providers

Rankings in Victoria 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 hearing impairment as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; allied health, therapy, support work, and social and community support 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 hearing impairment 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 Victoria 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.

Hearing Impairment support across Victoria

Hearing impairment ranges from mild hearing loss to profound deafness and can affect communication, safety, confidence in public settings, and access to work, appointments, and community life. NDIS support may include audiology, hearing devices, communication support, captioning, and Auslan interpreting, but practical fit matters: the best support reduces communication fatigue and missed information rather than simply adding another appointment. For people who use Auslan, fluent workers and qualified interpreters are often a more meaningful differentiator than a broad generic service list. Age related hearing loss (presbycusis) is covered here too. Which funding stream applies depends on your age and circumstances, and the boundary between the Hearing Services Program and the NDIS is the thing most people get caught on, so confirm your pathway with an assessor before arranging services.

Understanding Hearing Impairment

Hearing impairment covers a range of conditions from mild hearing loss to profound deafness. In Australia, over 3 million people (around 1 in 7) have at least one long-term hearing disorder (AIHW, based on the ABS National Health Survey), though only a fraction meet the threshold for NDIS eligibility. For those who do, the impact on communication, safety, social connection, and access to services can be significant. Hearing loss can be conductive (outer or middle ear), sensorineural (inner ear or auditory nerve), or mixed. Some people benefit from hearing aids or cochlear implants, while others communicate primarily through Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and identify as culturally Deaf. The NDIS supports both pathways: technology-based solutions and communication support services. The biggest challenge for many people with hearing impairment is not the loss of sound itself but the communication fatigue and social isolation that result from constantly working harder to follow conversations, meetings, and everyday interactions.
