How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo lists the registration details a provider reports and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm them before referring a participant. Here is what each listing shows and where to verify it.

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

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.

About Community and Social Participation

Community and Social Participation covers support for NDIS participants to engage in social, community, and civic activities. This includes one-on-one community access, social skill building, group outings, and support to attend appointments and activities. Providers must hold the Participation in Community, Social and Civic Activities registration group.

With 1,563 providers across all states and territories, community and social participation is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

What Community and Social Participation Covers

The Community and Social Participation registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

One-on-One Community Access

Individual support to attend community activities, appointments, social events, shopping, and recreational activities. The worker accompanies the participant and provides the level of support needed to participate.

Social Skill Building

Structured support to develop social skills, build relationships, and increase confidence in social settings. Often combined with community access activities.

Community Group Activities

Supported participation in existing community groups, clubs, and programs. The worker helps the participant engage rather than running a separate disability-specific program.

Appointment Support

Assistance attending medical appointments, government services, and other community appointments. Includes support during the appointment and transport where funded.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for community and social participation.

1.

A participant's goal is to join a local sports club but needs initial support to attend sessions, learn the routines, and build relationships with other members. Refer to a provider who focuses on community inclusion rather than segregated activities.

2.

A participant with psychosocial disability is socially isolated and needs regular community outings to build confidence. Start with 1:1 support and work toward reducing support hours as the participant becomes more independent.

3.

A participant wants to volunteer at a local organisation. Refer to a community participation provider who can support the initial setup, training period, and gradual withdrawal of support.

What to Expect After Referral

Good community participation providers start by understanding the participant's interests, goals, and current social networks. They then identify appropriate community activities and develop a plan for building independence over time. Expect the provider to document progress toward participation goals, not just log hours of support delivered.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a community and social participation provider may not be delivering quality services.

Provider running only segregated, disability-specific group activities rather than supporting community inclusion

No plan for reducing support over time as the participant builds skills

Activities chosen based on provider convenience rather than participant interests

No goal tracking or progress documentation

Provider billing community access hours when the participant is actually attending a group centre program

Community Participation connects with Transport (getting to and from activities), Daily Personal Activities (personal care support during outings), and Employment (community participation can be a stepping stone toward employment). Consider whether the participant's community access goals could be better achieved through Innovative Community Participation if traditional approaches are not working.

Referral Tips for Community and Social Participation

Match the participant's interests and goals with the provider's program offerings. Ask about group sizes, staff-to-participant ratios, and whether the provider can accommodate specific needs (mobility, communication, behavioural). For participants building independence, look for providers that offer a graduated support model with decreasing hours over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What NDIS funding covers community participation in Australia?

Community participation is funded under Core Supports (Assistance with Social and Community Participation). The weekday daytime rate is $67.56 per hour. This covers one-on-one or group support for social outings, community events, sporting activities, and other participation goals.

What should I check before referring for community participation?

Confirm the participant has funding in their Core Supports budget for social and community participation. Check the provider's programs match the participant's interests and goals. Ask about transport arrangements, cancellation policies, and how they report on goal progress.

Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?

No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can use both registered and unregistered providers.

How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?

Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. Providers listed on Carevo display their registration status on their profile.

What information should I include when making a referral?

Include the participant's name (with consent), NDIS plan number, relevant line items, budget available, service frequency, specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details.
