Is acquired brain injury covered by the NDIS?
NDIS access is assessed individually. You must meet the age and residence requirements and the disability or early intervention requirements.

The NDIA decides access and funding.

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 Old Toongabbie 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 acquired brain injury as a capability or have connected on a Carevo enquiry associated with it; physiotherapy, occupational therapy, allied health, therapy, psychology, nursing, support work, and personal care 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 acquired brain injury 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 Old Toongabbie 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.

What people with Acquired Brain Injury in Old Toongabbie usually need help with
Acquired brain injury happens after birth and can affect mobility, speech, fatigue, executive function, behaviour, memory, and emotional regulation all at once. NDIS support for ABI often needs to combine neuro rehab, cognitive support, personal care, and structured routines that reduce overload while rebuilding independence. The strongest providers are usually the ones who understand ABI beyond the physical presentation and can manage fatigue, behaviour change, and rehab carryover in everyday life. This page covers traumatic brain injury (TBI) as well, since TBI is one form of acquired brain injury: the difference is the cause, an external impact rather than stroke, infection, tumour or oxygen deprivation, while the day to day supports are largely the same.
For neurological conditions, the strongest local pages help people compare what matters most after discharge: how quickly therapy can start, whether therapists are genuinely neuro-focused, and whether the provider can keep hospital rehab goals moving once support shifts back into the home and community.
What people usually compare locally
- • Whether therapists have neurological rehabilitation training and experience locally
- • How quickly therapy can start after hospital discharge
- • Capacity for intensive therapy schedules (multiple sessions per week)
- • Coordination with local hospitals, rehab units, and specialist teams
Language support in Old Toongabbie
Old Toongabbie has a large Hindi-speaking community (3.9% of residents), so finding acquired brain injury 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.

What happens after you request support in Old Toongabbie
Identify rehab priorities
Work out whether the main focus is physical recovery, communication, cognitive rehabilitation, daily living skills, or a combination across multiple areas.
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.
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 NDIS participants with neurological conditions, confirm whether the provider can coordinate with your hospital rehab team, deliver intensive therapy early in recovery, and adjust the program as you progress.

Understanding Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
Acquired brain injury (ABI) refers to any damage to the brain that occurs after birth, including traumatic brain injury from accidents, stroke, brain tumours, infection, hypoxia, and substance-related brain damage. ABI affects an estimated 432,700 Australians, or about 1 in 45 people, who have an acquired brain injury that limits everyday activities (AIHW, 2003 ABS Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers), though the impact varies dramatically depending on the location and severity of the injury. ABI can affect movement, speech, swallowing, vision, memory, concentration, planning, behaviour, personality, and emotional regulation, often in combination. Recovery is rarely linear. Significant improvement can occur in the first one to two years, but ongoing therapy and support can continue to produce gains well beyond that window. The challenge for many people with ABI is that they may look physically well while struggling significantly with cognitive and behavioural changes that others cannot see.
How acquired brain injury affects daily life
ABI can make daily life unpredictable. Fatigue is one of the most common and least understood effects: even simple tasks like a conversation or a trip to the shops can exhaust cognitive reserves. Memory difficulties mean appointments get missed and routines break down. Reduced impulse control and emotional regulation can strain relationships. Executive function problems make planning, organising, and starting tasks genuinely difficult, not just inconvenient. Many people with ABI also experience personality changes that affect their sense of identity and relationships with family and friends.
What to look for in a provider
Good ABI providers understand that physical recovery is only part of the picture. Ask whether their staff have training in cognitive rehabilitation, fatigue management, and behaviour support after brain injury. A provider who can carry therapy goals into real-world situations (practising memory strategies at the supermarket, not just in a clinic room) will usually produce better outcomes. Red flags include providers who focus only on physical rehab, who do not account for fatigue in their scheduling, or whose support workers have no specific ABI training. Consistency of staff is particularly important for people with memory and behaviour difficulties.
How to access funding
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. Plan duration and reassessment dates vary; request a change if your circumstances or support needs change.
