How we rank providers

Rankings in New South Wales 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 support work, personal care, social and community support, therapy, allied health, and psychology, the support types most relevant to intellectual disability. They are then ranked by demonstrated experience with intellectual disability, providers who have actively claimed and supported intellectual disability 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 intellectual disability 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 New South Wales 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.

Intellectual Disability support across New South Wales

Intellectual disability affects learning, problem-solving, communication, and everyday adaptive skills, so support usually needs to be practical, consistent, and paced appropriately. NDIS participants with intellectual disability often use support workers, life skills programs, community access, behaviour support, and SIL to build capability without losing dignity or choice. The strongest providers are usually the ones who can turn broad goals like independence or community participation into repeatable routines that actually work day to day.

Carevo lists 8637 NDIS providers supporting intellectual disability with active coverage across New South Wales. Compare their response times and registration below, or narrow to your suburb.

Understanding Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability is characterised by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour, affecting everyday conceptual, social, and practical skills. It originates before the age of 22 and is one of the most common primary disabilities supported by the NDIS in Australia. The degree of intellectual disability varies widely. Some people live independently with occasional support, while others need help with most daily tasks. Common areas of difficulty include learning new information, problem-solving, managing money, understanding abstract concepts, and adapting to new situations. Many people with intellectual disability also experience co-occurring conditions such as epilepsy, autism, or mental health challenges, which can complicate support needs. Effective support focuses on building capability rather than creating dependence. The goal is usually to help the person do as much as they can for themselves, with the right level of assistance to fill genuine gaps.
