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

How this provider list is built

Counts include distinct active organisations marked NDIS registered with the relevant registration group and an active location listing. Organisations operating in several states are counted once nationally. Confirm the current registration and support types on the NDIS Commission register before referring.

The national shortlist uses primary listings, ordered by recorded Carevo connections, then name. Providers who have declined all related service types are omitted from the shortlist. A claim records an intention to contact someone, not completed support or care quality. Payment, featured status and purchased placement do not determine this order.

Receiving Carevo enquiries means a contact is set up to receive requests from Carevo and has signed in recently. Not confirmed means we cannot tell either way, usually because nobody has signed in recently; it is not a negative mark. Neither confirms vacancies or capacity. Providers confirm availability, suitability and prices directly.

Can you hire an independent worker?

It depends on how the NDIS plan is managed.

Self-managed: Yes; You agree the rate directly, within the funding rules and your budget.
Plan-managed: Yes; At or under the applicable price limits.
NDIA-managed: No; Registered providers only.

Registration rules and sources

Some supports require registration whatever the plan type, including specialist behaviour support and plan management. Check current SIL registration and transition requirements before arranging SIL.

A worker's professional registration, NDIS provider registration and a profile on Carevo are three different things. A Carevo listing establishes neither kind of registration.

NDIS disability support and clinical mental-health treatment have different funding pathways (NDIA therapy guidance).

Confirm the rules for the specific support before booking. Sources: NDIA self-management, NDIS Commission registration rules.

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 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.

Source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

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.

Source: My Aged Care (Department of Health and Aged Care)

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.

Source: Australian Business Register

Complaints process

If you or a participant has a concern, the NDIS Commission handles complaints about NDIS providers and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission handles aged care complaints. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

About Daily Personal Activities

Daily Personal Activities covers hands-on support with personal care, daily routines, and independent living. This includes assistance with showering, dressing, meal preparation, medication prompting, and other activities of daily living. Providers must hold Daily Personal Activities registration to deliver these supports to agency-managed participants.

With 16,965 providers across all states and territories, daily personal activities is listed here by registration-group match. Directory presence does not confirm local capacity, suitability or availability.

Daily Personal Activities Pricing

Examples from NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, effective 2026-07-01. These are the published national amounts; remote and very remote amounts can differ. Confirm the applicable funding rules before booking.

Line Item	Description	Price Limit
01_011_0107_1_1	Assistance With Self-Care Activities - Standard - Weekday Daytime	$73.58 per hour
01_015_0107_1_1	Assistance With Self-Care Activities - Standard - Weekday Evening	$81.07 per hour
01_013_0107_1_1	Assistance With Self-Care Activities - Standard - Saturday	$103.54 per hour
01_004_0107_1_1	Assistance with Personal Domestic Activities	$61.16 per hour

These are examples of support items, not a quote or confirmation of eligibility. Confirm the item matches the actual task and the participant's funding before arranging support. Different time-of-week rates apply only where the schedule specifies them.

What Daily Personal Activities Covers

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

Personal Care Support

Assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, toileting, and other personal hygiene tasks. The most common form of daily personal support. Workers need appropriate training in manual handling and personal care techniques.

Meal Preparation

Preparing meals according to dietary requirements, assisting with eating, managing food safety. Can include teaching meal preparation skills if funded under Capacity Building.

Medication Prompting

Reminding and assisting participants to take medication as prescribed. Note: support workers cannot administer medication unless specifically trained and authorised. For medication administration, refer to community nursing.

Morning and Evening Routines

Structured support to establish and maintain daily routines. Particularly important for participants with cognitive or psychosocial disabilities who benefit from consistency and structure.

Domestic Assistance

Light housework, laundry, and basic home maintenance tasks that the participant cannot do due to their disability. Often combined with personal care in the same shift to maximise efficiency.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for daily personal activities.

A participant needs daily morning support (shower, dressing, breakfast) from 7-9am, five days a week. Look for providers with strong rosters who can guarantee the same worker or a small team for consistency.

A participant with complex personal care needs (PEG feeding, catheter care) requires workers with specific clinical training. Check whether the provider holds both Daily Personal Activities AND High Intensity registration.

A participant transitioning from hospital to home needs temporary increased personal care hours while they build independence. Set a clear review date in the service agreement to step down hours as capacity improves.

A participant with psychosocial disability needs flexible support that can vary week to week depending on their mental health. Find a provider comfortable with variable rosters rather than fixed weekly schedules.

What to Expect After Referral

Most personal care providers conduct an initial home visit to assess the participant's needs, home environment, and any risks. They then develop a support plan matching the participant's preferences (gender of worker, cultural background, shift times). Expect 1-2 weeks to get a regular roster established. Good providers offer a meet-and-greet with the assigned worker before services begin.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a daily personal activities provider may not be delivering quality services.

Frequent worker changes without explanation or participant consultation

Workers consistently arriving late or leaving early

Provider unable to fill shifts, leaving the participant without support

No incident reporting process for falls, injuries, or medication errors

Provider not adjusting support plans as the participant's needs change

Charging for full shifts when workers arrive late or leave early

Daily Personal Activities often works alongside Community Participation (combining personal care with community access in the same shift), Household Tasks (bundled in the same visit), and Community Nursing (for clinical tasks the support worker cannot perform). When personal care hours are high, consider whether SIL might be more appropriate and cost-effective.

What to Include in the Daily Personal Activities Referral

Include these details with the participant's consent so providers and workers can assess fit before contacting them.

Personal-care tasks, shift times, frequency and preferred start date
Plan-management type, available Core budget and relevant line items
Worker-gender, language, cultural and continuity preferences
Mobility, transfer, medication or behaviour-support requirements

Referral Tips for Daily Personal Activities

Request a service agreement that specifies shift times, cancellation terms, and worker consistency requirements. For participants with complex personal care needs, check whether the provider also holds High Intensity Daily Personal Activities registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NDIS hourly rate for personal care support workers in Australia?

The standard weekday daytime rate for personal care is $73.58 per hour under the 2026-27 NDIS Pricing Schedule. Evening rates are $81.07, Saturday $103.54, and Sunday $133.50. These are maximum prices; some providers charge less.

How do I choose between personal care providers in Australia?

Check NDIS registration status, ask about worker consistency (will the participant see the same support worker regularly), confirm the provider can cover the required shift times, and verify their cancellation policy. Request references from other support coordinators if possible.

What is the difference between Daily Personal Activities and High Intensity registration?

Daily Personal Activities covers standard personal care. High Intensity Daily Personal Activities is for participants requiring complex care such as ventilator management, tracheostomy care, enteral feeding, or subcutaneous injections. If the participant needs clinical support during personal care, refer to a provider with High Intensity registration.

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 often choose unregistered providers, but some supports require registration. Confirm the rules for the specific support, including current SIL transition arrangements.

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.
