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 High Intensity Daily Personal Activities and Community nursing care for high needs, or offer nursing and personal care.
- 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 Is Complex Care?
Complex care is home-based clinical support for people with high-level or multiple medical needs, such as ventilator management, tracheostomy care, enteral tube feeding, complex wound management or multi-drug medication regimens. It is delivered by registered nurses and specially trained support workers rather than general personal care staff, and on the NDIS it is funded through specific nursing line items including Community Nursing Care and High Intensity Daily Personal Activities (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27).
How to Choose a Complex Care Provider
The rankings above use the methodology explained in the criteria section, but four factors matter most when narrowing down a complex care provider. Registration: confirm NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission registration specifically covers High Intensity Daily Personal Activities or Community Nursing Care, since general NDIS registration does not guarantee this approval. Response time: complex clinical issues, a blocked catheter or a ventilator alarm, cannot wait days, so ask how the provider staffs after-hours and weekend call-outs. Pricing transparency: request an itemised quote benchmarked against NDIS price limits rather than a flat estimate. Coverage: verify the provider has rostered clinical staff actually servicing your area, not just a listed service radius. Carevo tracks 28,004 NDIS-registered providers nationally, and cross-checking registration and coverage against that record narrows the list quickly.
Which Funding Pays for Complex Care, and Who Qualifies?
NDIS participants access complex care through specific nursing supports, primarily Community Nursing Care and High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, not generic Core Supports funding. Eligibility depends on the clinical need being disability-related; the NDIS does not fund supports that are the health system’s responsibility, such as acute treatment or general palliative care (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27). Older Australians with clinical needs, such as wound care or medication management, can instead access Support at Home, where clinical care is funded 100% by government within the participant’s classification budget, up to Classification 8 at roughly $78,106 a year (Department of Health and Aged Care 2025). A My Aged Care assessment sets Support at Home eligibility and classification level.
Availability
Carevo lists 28,004 NDIS-registered providers across 4,782 suburbs nationally, with 93% of NDIS provider replies logged within 24 hours. Complex care almost always involves a wider team, so most families also connect with allied health professionals for therapy input and, where NDIS-funded, a support coordinator to manage nursing and allied health supports within one plan.
How this page is compiled
The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources. Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
