Is intellectual disability 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.

Read the full funding pathway or use the eligibility checker.

How we rank providers

Rankings in Success 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 intellectual disability as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; support work, personal care, social and community support, therapy, allied health, 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 intellectual disability 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 Success 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 people with Intellectual Disability in Success usually need help with

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.

For developmental conditions, the strongest local pages are the ones that help families compare actual fit: who understands sensory needs, who can support school or childcare transitions, and who can work on the same goals across therapy and day-to-day support rather than offering isolated sessions.

What people usually compare locally

• Whether therapists have experience with developmental and neurodivergent conditions locally
• Availability of early intervention or specialist programs in the area
• Staff continuity and how well workers adapt to communication differences
• Wait times for key therapies like speech, OT, and behaviour support

Language support in Success

Success has a large Mandarin-speaking community (3.7% of residents), so finding intellectual disability support in a shared language matters here. These are the main languages spoken at home locally (ABS Census 2021). When you get matched, ask providers which of their staff speak your language and whether they can keep that worker as your regular. Interpreters are free through TIS National for NDIS appointments, and My Aged Care can arrange them for aged care assessments.

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.

How intellectual disability affects daily life

Intellectual disability affects daily life across multiple areas. Following multi-step instructions, managing appointments, handling money, preparing meals, and using public transport can all require varying levels of support. Social situations may be difficult to read, which can lead to vulnerability or isolation. Many people with intellectual disability need support to understand and exercise their rights, make informed decisions, and participate in their community. The right support worker can turn a frustrating task into a manageable routine by breaking it into smaller steps and providing consistent, patient guidance.

What to look for in a provider

Good providers for intellectual disability focus on capability building rather than doing everything for the person. They set clear, measurable goals and track progress over time. Ask how they teach new skills, what their staff-to-participant ratios are, and how they handle situations where the person is struggling. Red flags include providers who cannot explain their approach to building independence, who rotate staff frequently without handover, or who default to group activities without individual goal planning. Look for providers whose workers have experience with intellectual disability specifically, not just a generic disability qualification.
