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 Transport Assistance

Transport Assistance covers support for participants to travel to appointments, activities, and community access. This includes funded transport services, travel training to build independent travel skills, and vehicle modifications. Transport funding is typically a fixed amount in the participant's plan.

With 16,658 providers across all states and territories, transport assistance is listed here by registration-group match. Directory presence does not confirm local capacity, suitability or availability.

Transport Assistance 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
02_051_0108_1_1	Transport	$1.00 YR

The transport item uses a notional unit. It is not a $1 per kilometre fare. Agree transport costs and the applicable support item before travel. Different time-of-week rates apply only where the schedule specifies them.

What Transport Assistance Covers

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

Funded Transport

A lump sum in the participant's plan for travel to appointments, activities, and community access. Can be used for taxis, rideshare, community transport, or reimbursing a support worker for mileage.

Specialist Disability Transport

Wheelchair-accessible vehicles and trained drivers for participants who cannot use standard transport options. Higher cost but necessary for some participants.

Travel Training

Teaching participants to use public transport independently. Funded under Capacity Building rather than Core Supports. See Daily Living Skills for more detail.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for transport assistance.

A participant's transport budget runs out halfway through the plan because support workers are claiming mileage for every community access visit. Review whether some trips could use public transport or rideshare instead of support worker travel.

A participant needs wheelchair-accessible transport but the local taxi service has limited accessible vehicles. Research specialist disability transport providers and community transport options in the area.

What to Expect After Referral

Transport funding is typically a fixed annual amount. It does not cover day-to-day commuting costs that any person would incur. The amount is based on the participant's disability-related transport needs beyond what state government schemes (taxi subsidy, companion card) provide.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a transport assistance provider may not be delivering quality services.

Transport budget exhausted well before plan end

Support workers claiming excessive mileage

Provider billing transport as a separate service when it is included in community access shifts

Transport connects with Community Participation (getting to activities), Employment (getting to work), and Daily Personal Activities (support worker travel claims). Always check state taxi subsidy and companion card eligibility before using NDIS transport funding.

What to Include in the Transport Assistance Referral

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

Recurring trip origin, destination, days, times and frequency
Wheelchair access, transfer assistance and vehicle requirements
Whether support is required during the appointment or activity
Funding source, kilometre agreement, waiting time and cancellation terms

How to Refer a Participant for Transport Assistance

Step 1

Check plan funding in Category 2

Step 2

Check funding management and registration requirements

Step 3

Compare suitable providers and independent workers

Step 4

Set up service agreement with line items

Step 5

Monitor delivery and document outcomes

Referral Tips for Transport Assistance

Transport funding is often the first budget category to run out. Help participants understand whether their transport allocation covers taxi-style services, whether support worker travel time counts against it, and whether travel training might be a better long-term investment. Check if the participant is eligible for the taxi subsidy scheme in their state before using NDIS transport funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does NDIS transport funding work in Australia?

Transport is typically funded as a lump sum in the participant's plan. The participant can use it for taxis, rideshare, community transport, or other disability transport services. Support worker mileage during appointments can also be claimed. The amount varies by participant based on their transport needs and goals.

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.
