How we rank providers

Rankings in 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 Daily Personal Activities and High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, or offer 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 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.

Respectful Personal Care Services to Support Your Independence in Australia

Acknowledging you need a helping hand with daily personal tasks is a significant step. The thought of losing your independence or privacy can be daunting, and finding a caregiver you can truly trust is one of the biggest challenges. You need more than just help; you need a partner who respects your routine, your home, and your dignity.

Through Carevo, you can find personal care providers in Australia who design their services around one core principle: your dignity and independence come first. Their role is to provide discreet, professional support that empowers you to live your life your way.

The Right Support is About More Than Just Tasks

Are you worried about:

  • A stranger in your personal space? Carevo helps you find a support worker you feel comfortable and safe with.
  • Losing control of your routine? Your support worker adapts to your schedule and preferences, not the other way around.
  • Inconsistent or unreliable care? Providers strive to offer a consistent primary support worker to build a strong, trusting relationship.
  • Your privacy being compromised? Ask each provider how their support workers are trained in professional conduct and respecting your privacy.

Personal care providers through Carevo solve these worries, providing a service that feels less like a task list and more like a helping hand from a trusted professional.

A compassionate carer providing personal support services

Personal Care Services: Designed Around You

Experienced Australia support workers provide professional and compassionate assistance with a wide range of daily activities.

Dignified Assistance with Daily Routines

  • Morning & Evening Support: Gentle help with getting in and out of bed, dressing for the day, and settling in for the evening.
  • Bathing & Showering Assistance: Ensuring your safety and comfort while you bathe, with the level of support you’re comfortable with.
  • Grooming & Hygiene: Respectful assistance with hair care, shaving, and other personal grooming to help you feel your best.

Reliable Health & Wellbeing Support

  • Toileting & Continence Management: Discreet and professional support with toileting needs and managing continence aids.
  • Medication Reminders: Gentle, timely reminders to ensure you take your prescribed medications correctly.
  • Mobility Support: Safe assistance with moving around your home, preventing falls, and helping you stay active.

Why Australia Residents Trust Personal Care Providers Through Carevo

Inviting someone into your home for personal care requires the highest level of trust. Here’s how providers earn it.

Support Workers: Trained & Compassionate

  • Screening: Ask each provider about their screening process, including NDIS Worker Screening Checks, police checks, and reference checks.
  • Specialised Training: Ask each provider about the ongoing training their support workers receive in manual handling, infection control, privacy, and providing person-centred care.
  • The Right Match: Providers take the time to understand you and match you with a support worker whose personality and skills are the right fit.

The Promise of Consistent, Reliable Care

A familiar face is important for your comfort. The goal is always to provide a consistent primary support worker, with a fully-briefed backup from the trusted team available if your regular carer is sick.

Making Funding Simple

Providers through Carevo are experienced in navigating government funding for personal care.

  • Support at Home: Personal care is a listed service under the Support at Home program (which replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025). From 1 October 2026 personal care is reclassified as a clinical support, which carries no participant contribution. Before that date a participant contribution can apply depending on your funding category, so check your specific situation with your provider or My Aged Care (1800 200 422). Providers through Carevo can help you understand your funding classification and manage your budget. (CHSP continues as a separate program until 30 June 2027 and transitions to Support at Home no earlier than 1 July 2027.)
  • NDIS Plans: This support falls under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life. Providers work with you and your plan manager to ensure you get the support you’re approved for.
  • Other Funding: Providers also support clients using DVA (Department of Veterans’ Affairs) funding and private payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I’m not comfortable with my support worker? Your comfort is the absolute priority. If for any reason you do not feel the match is right, you can contact your provider’s care manager at any time. They will listen without judgment and work to find a support worker you feel completely comfortable and safe with.

How do providers protect my privacy and dignity? This is the foundation of the service. Support workers are expected to follow the Aged Care Code of Conduct and NDIS Code of Conduct, which set strict standards for privacy, dignity, and respect. Ask each provider how they train and reinforce this with their team.

Do I get a say in my care routine? Absolutely. It’s your routine. Personal care providers through Carevo are there to support you, not to dictate how you live. Your care plan is designed with you, and support workers are trained to adapt to your preferences.

Take the First Step with Confidence

You don’t have to manage on your own. Find the right personal care provider through Carevo for the respectful, professional support you need to continue living independently and with dignity in Australia.
