What are companionship services?
Companionship services are regular, one-on-one social visits from a support worker matched to a person’s interests and personality, aimed at reducing isolation rather than performing physical care tasks. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW 2025) identifies social isolation as a major risk factor for poor health outcomes in older Australians, which is why companionship is funded as a distinct support alongside personal care.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Companionship supports older Australians and NDIS participants at risk of loneliness, including people who have lost a partner, live alone, or have reduced mobility. Under the NDIS, it is funded through Core Supports as Assistance with Social and Community Participation (NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2025-26). Older Australians can access it through Support at Home social support services or, for lower-level needs, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (Department of Health and Aged Care 2025).
Availability on Carevo
Carevo currently lists 28,038 providers across 4,782 suburbs, including companionship and social support specialists. For structured group activities and outings rather than one-on-one visits, see social support visits.
