Can aged care fund support for post-stroke care?

For aged care, Support at Home replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025. Contact My Aged Care for an assessment. Approved services, available funding, participant contributions and any transition arrangements depend on your assessment and circumstances. Confirm these with your provider before booking. Disability-related NDIS support may be another pathway for people who meet NDIS access requirements.

Funding is based on individual eligibility and functional impact, not diagnosis alone. Read the full funding pathway or use the eligibility checker for the next steps.

Families never pay Carevo. Providers pay a subscription to connect with families, with no commission or paid ranking. How Carevo works

How we rank providers

Rankings in 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 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 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.

How we calculate provider numbers

What support people with Post-Stroke Care usually need

Stroke can leave lasting effects on mobility, speech, cognition, and daily functioning, requiring ongoing rehabilitation and personal support at home. the Support at Home program can fund physiotherapy, speech pathology, occupational therapy, and personal care to support recovery. Early and consistent rehabilitation at home has been shown to improve long-term outcomes for stroke survivors. This page covers stroke support generally, from the first weeks at home through longer term rehabilitation, including physiotherapy for mobility and strength, speech pathology for communication and swallowing, and occupational therapy for daily living. The right mix of support depends on age, goals, living situation, and how much day-to-day impact post-stroke care has.

Rehabilitation and daily recovery

Many people compare providers for neuro physio, OT for relearning everyday tasks, speech pathology for communication or swallowing, cognitive rehab, and personal care that supports recovery rather than creating dependency.

Specialist neuro therapy

The highest-value comparisons are usually neurological physio, OT, speech pathology, and neuropsychology. Recovery windows matter, so speed to first appointment, therapy intensity, and cross-discipline coordination can change outcomes materially.

Choosing the right fit

Neuro rehab is time-sensitive and highly specialised. Families need therapists with real neurological rehabilitation experience, clear goal-setting, and a plan for the handover from hospital or inpatient rehab into daily life at home.

Services and providers to compare first for Post-Stroke Care

For post-stroke and neurological recovery, rehabilitation-focused services are usually the first to compare. Start with providers who have neuro-trained therapists and can deliver consistent therapy schedules.

Aged Care Advocacy Aged Care Home Modifications Maintenance Allied Health Disciplines At Hm Scheme Commonwealth Home Support Programme Companionship Services Complex Care Continence Care

What usually separates a strong provider from a generic one

  • • Therapists with specific neurological rehabilitation experience, not general physio or OT
  • • Whether the provider can deliver intensive therapy schedules when the recovery window is open
  • • Coordination across disciplines (physio, OT, speech) working toward the same rehab goals
  • • Experience with the transition from hospital or inpatient rehab to community-based support

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.

Source: NDIS Commission / Aged Care Commission

What happens after you request support

The next step is usually to narrow the services that matter most, shortlist two or three realistic providers, and ask practical questions about fit, availability, staff continuity, and how support will work in real life.

01

Identify rehab priorities

Work out whether the main focus is physical recovery, communication, cognitive rehabilitation, daily living skills, or a combination across multiple areas.

02

Compare neuro-specialist providers

Look for providers with therapists who have specific neurological rehab training. Compare how quickly they can start and whether they can deliver the intensity your rehab plan requires.

03

Coordinate the transition

If transitioning from hospital, ask how the provider works with discharge teams, whether they continue existing rehab goals, and how they manage the shift to community-based support.

For aged care, confirm whether the provider has neuro-trained allied health staff, can deliver rehabilitation at the frequency recommended by your specialist, and coordinates with hospital discharge teams.

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.

How post-stroke care affects daily life

Post-stroke life for older Australians often involves managing one-sided weakness (hemiplegia or hemiparesis), which affects walking, dressing, cooking, and personal care. Speech difficulties (aphasia) affect communication with family, friends, and health professionals. Swallowing problems require modified diets. Fatigue limits how much can be achieved in a day. Cognitive changes affect memory, concentration, and planning. Depression is common and often goes untreated. Falls risk increases significantly. Many older stroke survivors live alone or with an ageing partner, which means home-based support is essential for safety and quality of life.

What to look for in a provider

Good post-stroke providers for older Australians combine ongoing rehabilitation with practical daily support. Ask whether their therapists have neurological rehabilitation experience, whether they can provide therapy in the home, and how they coordinate between therapy goals and support worker tasks. Red flags include providers who assume rehabilitation has ended simply because the person is out of hospital, who only offer personal care without therapy, or whose workers are not trained in hemiplegia support, safe transfers, and communication with people who have aphasia.

Funding and costs for post-stroke care support

Funding is assessed individually. A diagnosis does not determine a standard budget.

Common funding categories

Support at Home (subject to assessment) Commonwealth Home Support Programme Support at Home

There is no standard aged care budget for this diagnosis. My Aged Care assessment determines the approved support pathway. Ask your provider for a service agreement showing approved services, prices, any participant contributions and transition arrangements before committing to support. If using NDIS funding, confirm the support item and applicable funding rules separately.

Check the linked government sources and obtain a quote before committing funds.
