Use the directory to compare declared services, postcode coverage and response signals, then confirm each organisation's current CHSP approval, referral availability and client contribution through My Aged Care or the provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do providers respond to enquiries in Lismore?
Based on 28 accepted enquiries on Carevo in Lismore, providers accept enquiry details with a median of 10 minutes. 57% of enquiries in Lismore have enquiry details accepted within 1 hour, and 86% within 24 hours. This covers every service in Lismore, so it differs from the CHSP providers figure below.
How many CHSP providers cover Lismore?
Carevo currently lists 18 provider organisations reporting CHSP coverage in Lismore. Confirm their current approval, service type and capacity through My Aged Care or the provider.
What services can CHSP fund?
Depending on assessed need and local availability, CHSP can include domestic assistance, personal care, meals, transport, social support, respite, home maintenance and some allied health support. The referral identifies the approved service.
How do I apply for CHSP?
Contact My Aged Care or apply for an assessment online. The assessment determines eligibility and service needs. If approved, My Aged Care can issue referrals to organisations delivering those services locally.
How much is the CHSP client contribution?
There is no single contribution amount across all providers and services. Ask the provider for its current client contribution schedule and hardship policy before the service starts.
Is CHSP the same as Support at Home?
No. CHSP continues as a separate entry-level program. Support at Home replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025 and is intended for people with more coordinated or ongoing assessed needs.
Can I choose a CHSP provider?
You can discuss provider choice with My Aged Care and contact approved providers holding the relevant referral. Choice still depends on which organisations deliver the service in your area and have current capacity.
Does a Carevo listing prove CHSP approval?
No. Carevo displays available provider and coverage signals, but the current approval and service type should be confirmed through My Aged Care or directly with the organisation.
What if no CHSP provider has capacity?
Ask My Aged Care whether another approved provider can accept the referral and tell them if the need is urgent or has changed. You can also ask whether reassessment for another aged care pathway is appropriate.

What CHSP may cost in Lismore
CHSP is government subsidised, but it is not automatically free. Each provider has a client contribution policy and should explain the amount before the service begins. Contributions can differ by provider and service type.
Ask for the current contribution schedule in writing. If paying would cause financial hardship, ask how the provider's hardship policy applies. Eligibility, referral and the approved service are decided through My Aged Care, not by Carevo.
| Time | Indicative rate |
|---|---|
| Assessment and referral | Arranged through My Aged Care |
| Client contribution | Set under the provider's contribution policy |
| Financial hardship | Ask the provider about reduced or waived contributions |
Request the provider's current contribution schedule before accepting the service. Do not treat a directory estimate as a quote.

What does CHSP providers cost? Full pricing and funding guide
How CHSP funding works in Lismore
The Australian Government funds CHSP providers through program grants. The client usually pays a contribution for each service rather than receiving an individual package budget.
Start through My Aged Care, which arranges the assessment and service referral. The referral names the approved service type, but it does not guarantee that every local provider has immediate capacity. If needs become more frequent or complex, ask My Aged Care whether a Support at Home assessment is appropriate.
What to confirm with a CHSP provider
Confirm that the organisation is approved for the service on your referral and currently covers your postcode. Ask about the client contribution, visit frequency, waiting time, cancellation terms and whether the same worker can attend regularly.
A provider may be approved for CHSP without having capacity for every service or suburb. Carevo connects people with organisations reporting coverage but does not assess eligibility, issue referrals or deliver the support.
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 yourself. Here is what each listing shows and where to check it. A listing on Carevo is not an endorsement.
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.

New South Wales Regulations & Compliance
In New South Wales, NDIS providers may be registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, and registered providers comply with the NDIS Practice Standards. Registration is mandatory only for specified supports and circumstances, such as specialist disability accommodation, plan management, and supports involving regulated restrictive practices. Self-managed and plan-managed participants may generally choose registered or unregistered providers; NDIA-managed participants must use registered providers. Aged care services operate under the Aged Care Quality Standards enforced by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. Registered providers are audited against the NDIS Practice Standards, and workers in risk-assessed roles need NDIS worker screening through the NSW NDIS Worker Check.

The response time above is based on 28 requests of all types in Lismore. We do not yet have enough CHSP providers: compare services and coverage requests in Lismore to report how many providers respond to a typical request here. How we calculate our numbers
How we rank providers
Rankings in Lismore use directory relevance and observable activity on Carevo: service match, distance, register-sourced status fields, whether an enquiry can reach the provider, and recent response and connection activity. Rankings are recalculated daily. They do not assess care quality or recommend a provider.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here offer personal care, domestic help and cleaning, and social and community support.
- Activity on Carevo. We measure recent actions such as connecting on an enquiry, opening its contact details, responding, and an inquirer reporting whether a connection helped. These are platform activity signals, not an assessment of the support delivered.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Register-sourced status. NDIS registration fields come from the NDIS Commission provider register. Aged care approval fields come from the My Aged Care register. These statuses are ranking inputs, not Carevo endorsements, and you should confirm the current register entry before choosing a provider.
- Carevo enquiries. Providers who have paused requests from us are moved down among providers with the same relevance. They stay visible and are marked as not receiving Carevo enquiries.
- Recent activity. Providers active on Carevo recently (a connection, a login, or a profile update) get a small boost, the same signal shown as "Active this week" on their card. It is deliberately small: stronger relevance and condition evidence outweigh a recent login.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in Lismore rank above those covering only the broader region.
What the enquiries status means
It answers one question: would a request sent through Carevo today actually reach them? It is not a rating, it is not about the provider's books, and it is not a statement about their capacity, their waiting list, or the quality of their care.
- Receiving
- At least one contact on their account is set up to receive new requests from us, and someone has signed in recently enough for us to say a person is there.
- Not receiving
- Every contact on the account has unsubscribed or paused, so we have no way to pass an enquiry on.
- No status shown
- We cannot tell either way, so we say nothing rather than label the provider. The account is set to receive enquiries, but nobody has signed in recently, or there are no contact details on file. It is not a negative mark, and most listings sit here.
A provider who is not receiving our enquiries may well be taking new clients directly. Providers set this themselves and can turn it back on at any time from their Carevo account or from any email we send them. Providers not receiving our enquiries are moved down the list and never hidden. It is refreshed daily, so a provider who resumes, or signs in, reappears within a day.
What the Carevo activity rating means
The Strong activity rating describes how a provider behaves on Carevo, not the care they deliver.
- Where it starts
- Every provider starts at a baseline of 50.
- What moves it
- Enquiries from the last 90 days. The strongest positive is a care seeker naming that provider as the one who helped them. The clearest negative is connecting on an enquiry and never opening the contact details.
- How it is kept honest
- Recalculated daily from scratch, shown only above the baseline and only with at least two scored signals, and removed automatically when either stops being true. It cannot be purchased.
It is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or an assessment of care quality, and we do not screen providers for complaints. Complaints are handled by the NDIS Commission and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. See the full activity rating methodology.
