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 post-stroke care as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, allied health, personal care, support work, and therapy 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 post-stroke care 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.

Understanding Post-Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Care

Post-stroke care for older Australians addresses the ongoing disability that follows a stroke. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in Australia, with around 425,000 people (1.7% of the population) having experienced a stroke and about 71% of survivors aged 65 and over, and many live with lasting effects including one-sided weakness, speech and language difficulties, swallowing problems, cognitive changes, and fatigue (AIHW 2024, based on the ABS Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers 2022). For people over 65, ongoing post-stroke support is funded through the aged care system rather than the NDIS. The extent of recovery depends on the severity of the stroke, the area of the brain affected, and the quality and consistency of rehabilitation. While the most rapid recovery occurs in the first 3-6 months, meaningful improvement can continue for years with ongoing therapy and structured support. The transition from hospital rehabilitation to community-based care is where many older Australians experience a gap in services, and getting the right home-based support in place quickly makes a significant difference.
