How we rank providers
Rankings in Western 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 Communication and Information Equipment and Assistive Technology, or offer communication equipment, related disability and aged care services, allied health, and therapy. 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 Western 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 Computer and Switch Access Equipment?
Computer and switch access equipment lets people who cannot use a standard keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen operate computers, tablets, and phones through alternative methods such as switches, eye gaze tracking, head tracking, or voice control. Under the NDIS, this equipment falls within the Assistive Technology support category and requires an assessment by a suitably qualified therapist before funding is approved (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27).
For a person in Western Australia, this equipment is often what makes school, work and staying in touch possible. A single switch placed near a hand, foot or head can control a whole device through scanning, while eye gaze lets someone type and browse using only where they look. The right method depends on which movements a person has reliable control over, which is why the assessment happens before any equipment is chosen.
Who It Is For and How It Is Funded
Computer access solutions are for people with cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, motor neurone disease, acquired brain injury, or other conditions that affect fine motor control and prevent standard device use. Setups are funded through the NDIS Assistive Technology support category for equipment, with the required assessment and training funded under Improved Daily Living (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27). DVA and workplace programs such as the Employment Assistance Fund can fund equipment outside NDIS eligibility.
Finding a Computer Access Provider in Western Australia
Setups range from a couple of hundred dollars for a basic switch to well over twenty thousand for a full eye gaze system, so matching the equipment to the person is what protects the funding. When you look for a provider in Western Australia, ask whether the occupational therapist has experience with the specific access method you are considering, and whether they include setup and training rather than just supplying the hardware. A device that is delivered but never configured to the person tends to end up unused.
Availability on Carevo
Carevo currently lists 28,038 providers, including occupational therapists and AT suppliers who assess, prescribe, and set up computer and switch access systems. For a broader assessment covering all access and communication needs, see assistive technology assessment.
