How we rank providers

Rankings in Western 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 ptsd as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; therapy, allied health, psychology, support work, social and community support, and occupational 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 ptsd 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 Western 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.

PTSD support across Western Australia

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, causing persistent symptoms such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, avoidance, and difficulty with daily functioning. The NDIS can provide funding for people whose PTSD causes a permanent and substantial reduction in their capacity to participate in everyday life. Trauma-informed supports can help people manage symptoms, reconnect with their community, and work toward recovery.

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.

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.

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.

Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after exposure to a traumatic event and causes persistent re-experiencing of the trauma, avoidance of reminders, negative changes in thoughts and mood, and heightened arousal and reactivity. PTSD affects approximately 11% of Australians at some point in their lives (ABS National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing, 2020-2022), with higher rates among veterans, first responders, refugees, and survivors of abuse. While many people recover with treatment, some develop chronic PTSD that causes lasting psychosocial disability. Complex PTSD, resulting from prolonged or repeated trauma, can cause additional difficulties with emotional regulation, self-concept, and relationships. The NDIS funds support for people whose PTSD causes permanent and significant functional impairment. NDIS supports are recovery-focused and complement clinical trauma therapy, which is funded through Medicare or DVA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PTSD a disability in Australia?

PTSD can be recognised as a disability in Australia when it is severe, likely to be lifelong, and substantially limits everyday functioning. Under the NDIS it falls under psychosocial disability: a diagnosis alone is not enough, and the access request needs evidence that the condition is permanent (treatment has been tried and functional impact remains) and that it reduces your capacity in areas such as self-care, relationships or getting into the community. People whose PTSD does not meet NDIS criteria can still access support through a Medicare mental health treatment plan, DVA (for veterans), or state community mental health services.

Does PTSD qualify for the NDIS?

PTSD can qualify for the NDIS when it is considered a permanent psychosocial disability that substantially limits a person's ability to carry out daily activities, maintain relationships, or participate in the community. Complex or chronic PTSD with a long-term functional impact is more likely to meet the NDIS access criteria than a recent diagnosis still being actively treated. Carevo can connect people in Western Australia and across the Western Australia (WA) with NDIS support coordinators who help build a strong access application with the right clinical evidence.

What NDIS supports are available for PTSD in Western Australia?

NDIS participants with PTSD in Western Australia may access trauma-informed psychology, counselling, psychosocial recovery coaching, support workers for daily assistance, community access programs, and occupational therapy to address functional limitations. Supports are planned around individual goals and can be delivered at home or in the community depending on what works best for the person. Carevo helps people across the Western Australia (WA) find providers with specific expertise in trauma and PTSD.

Can complex PTSD be covered by the NDIS differently to standard PTSD?

Complex PTSD, which typically develops after prolonged or repeated trauma, often has a greater impact on functioning and daily life, which may make it easier to demonstrate eligibility for the NDIS compared to acute PTSD. The NDIS assesses functional impact rather than the specific diagnostic label, so detailed evidence of how symptoms affect day-to-day life is what matters most. Carevo lists relevant service providers; confirm their condition-specific experience, credentials and local availability directly.

How do I find a trauma-informed NDIS provider near Western Australia?

Finding a trauma-informed provider is important because people with PTSD need supports delivered in a way that does not re-traumatise or overwhelm them. Looking for providers who explicitly reference trauma-informed practice, safe communication, and flexible service delivery is a good starting point when searching in Western Australia. Carevo is a platform that connects NDIS participants across the Western Australia (WA) with allied health professionals and support workers who have experience working with trauma survivors.

Can PTSD from a workplace injury or accident be funded by the NDIS?

If PTSD results from a workplace injury or accident, it may initially be funded through WorkCover or another compensation scheme rather than the NDIS. However, once those supports are exhausted or if the condition becomes permanent and the person no longer has access to compensation funding, the NDIS may become the appropriate avenue for ongoing support. Carevo can help people in Western Australia and across the Western Australia (WA) navigate which system is most appropriate for their situation by connecting them with knowledgeable support coordinators.
