How we rank providers
Rankings in Queensland 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 Household tasks and Daily Personal Activities, or offer meals. 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 Queensland 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 Are Meal Preparation and Delivery Services?
Meal preparation and delivery services provide nutritious meals, either delivered ready to eat or prepared in-home by a support worker, for people who cannot safely shop, cook, or prepare food independently. Under the NDIS, this support sits within Core Supports as part of “Assistance with Daily Life,” and NDIS funding covers preparation and delivery costs, not the ordinary cost of food, according to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26.
Who It Is For and How It Is Funded
Meal support suits NDIS participants whose disability affects meal preparation, older Australians on Support at Home, and people accessing the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) for short-term or entry-level help. NDIS participants claim it under Core Supports, Assistance with Daily Life. Older Australians access it through Support at Home, which replaced Home Care Packages from 1 November 2025, or through CHSP for lower-level, entry-point support, both administered via a My Aged Care assessment (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).
