How we rank providers
Rankings in South Australia are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here are registered with the NDIS for Assistive Technology and Communication and Information Equipment, or offer communication equipment, related disability and aged care services, and allied health. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in South Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.
What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

What counts as cognitive support and memory aid technology?
Cognitive support technology covers devices that compensate for memory, sequencing, or orientation difficulties, such as automated medication dispensers, GPS trackers, digital reminder clocks, and simplified communication devices for people with dementia, acquired brain injury, or intellectual disability. Under the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, these items are funded through the Assistive Technology support category and priced by cost tier, from low-cost items under $1,500 to high-cost items over $15,000.
How to choose a provider for this service
The list above is ranked using the criteria explained in the methodology section above. Four checks matter most when you compare cognitive support and memory aid providers yourself.
Registration. Confirm the occupational therapist recommending the technology is AHPRA registered, and that NDIS funded providers appear on the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission provider register.
Response time. Cognitive AT needs often follow a hospital discharge or a new dementia diagnosis, so a slow first reply costs weeks. Check the response time by state table further down this page before you book.
Pricing transparency. Ask for a written quote that separates the assessment fee, the device cost, and any ongoing monitoring charge, and confirm which NDIS or AT-HM cost tier it sits under.
Coverage. Carevo lists 642 occupational therapists nationally, but cognitive AT experience is unevenly spread, so ask whether the provider has handled dementia or acquired brain injury cases specifically, not just general equipment prescriptions.
Which funding pays for cognitive support technology, and who qualifies?
NDIS participants with cognitive disability documented in their plan can fund memory aids and cognitive devices under the Assistive Technology support category, priced by cost tier in the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, with an OT assessment required before purchase. Support at Home clients qualify through the AT-HM Scheme once an aged care assessment under the Single Assessment System assigns a funding tier, Low (up to $500), Medium (up to $2,000), or High (up to $15,000, more in complex cases), recorded in the Notice of Decision (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). DVA-eligible veterans with a diagnosed cognitive condition can access equivalent devices through veterans’ funding instead.
Availability across Australia
Carevo lists 4,782 suburbs with provider coverage nationally, with occupational therapists experienced in cognitive AT concentrated most heavily in New South Wales and Victoria. Cognitive support technology is often paired with personal emergency alarms for safety monitoring, or preceded by a full assistive technology assessment when the right device type is not yet clear.
