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.

About Group and Centre-Based Activities

Group and Centre-Based Activities covers structured programs delivered in a group setting, typically at a day centre or community facility. These include life skills groups, art and recreation programs, employment preparation, social skills training, and health and wellbeing programs. Lower per-participant costs make this an efficient use of NDIS funding.

With 1,173 providers across all states and territories, group and centre-based activities is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

What Group and Centre-Based Activities Covers

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

Day Programs

Structured programs run from a centre or facility, typically covering life skills, social activities, art, music, cooking, and recreation. Usually operate on weekdays during business hours.

Life Skills Groups

Group-based training in daily living skills such as cooking, budgeting, personal hygiene, public transport use, and household management. Small groups of 3-5 participants with structured curriculum.

Social and Recreation Groups

Group outings, sports, creative activities, and social events. Focus on building social connections and having fun rather than specific skill development.

Health and Wellbeing Programs

Group exercise programs, yoga, swimming, and other physical activities adapted for participants with disability. Good for combining physical health goals with social participation.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for group and centre-based activities.

1.

A participant is finishing school and needs a structured daytime activity while employment options are explored. Refer to a day program that offers employment preparation alongside social activities.

2.

A participant's family needs regular respite and the participant would benefit from social interaction with peers. A group program 2-3 days per week addresses both needs cost-effectively.

3.

A participant with an intellectual disability needs life skills training but does not engage well in 1:1 settings. A small group format with peers at a similar level may be more effective.

What to Expect After Referral

Group programs typically offer a trial period (1-2 weeks) before committing. Good programs conduct an individual assessment, create a personal plan within the group context, and report on individual goal progress rather than just attendance. Check the staff-to-participant ratio, daily schedule, and how they accommodate individual needs within the group.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a group and centre-based activities provider may not be delivering quality services.

No individual goal planning within the group program

Same activities every day with no variety or progression

Staff-to-participant ratio too high for the needs of participants

No process for managing challenging behaviours in the group setting

Provider billing at 1:1 rates for group activities

No evidence of participant progress or outcome measurement

Group Activities works with Transport (getting to the centre), Community Participation (transitioning from centre-based to community-based activities over time), and Employment (some day programs include employment preparation). If a participant is only attending group programs, consider whether community-based 1:1 support might better achieve their inclusion goals.

Referral Tips for Group and Centre-Based Activities

Group programs are cost-effective for building social connections and life skills. Check the staff-to-participant ratio, the program structure, and whether the provider reports individual goal progress (not just attendance). For participants with behavioural support needs, confirm the provider has appropriately trained staff and a behaviour support plan in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do NDIS group programs cost in Australia?

Group activity rates depend on the staff-to-participant ratio. 1:5 groups cost $25.43/hour, 1:3 groups cost $37.18/hour, and 1:2 groups cost $50.56/hour weekday daytime. These lower rates make group programs an efficient use of plan funding compared to 1:1 support.

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.
