How we rank providers

Rankings in Australian Capital Territory 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 list Speech Pathologist among their professions, or offer speech pathology and allied health. 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 Australian Capital Territory 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.

How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo lists the registration details a provider reports and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm them yourself. Here is what each listing shows and where to check it. A listing on Carevo is not an endorsement.

NDIS registration

Listings show whether a provider reports being NDIS registered. You can confirm a provider's current registration and approved support types yourself on the NDIS Commission's public provider register.

Source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

Aged care approval

Listings show aged care approval where it is recorded. You can check a provider's current approval and the services they deliver on the Australian Government's My Aged Care find a provider service.

Source: My Aged Care (Department of Health and Aged Care)

ABN you can check

Most listings include the provider's Australian Business Number, shown on the profile. You can look it up on the Australian Business Register to confirm the business is registered and active.

Complaints process

If you have a concern about any provider, you can lodge a complaint with the NDIS Commission or the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission at any time. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

What is in-home speech pathology?

Speech pathology is allied health support for people with difficulties in speech, language, communication or swallowing. Delivered at home rather than in a clinic, an NDIS-registered speech pathologist assesses and treats these issues under the Therapeutic Supports registration group, price code 0128, at up to $193.99 an hour (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26).

How to choose a provider for this service

Use the ranking methodology explained above the provider list as your starting point, then check what matters most for this service. Registration: confirm Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) membership, and for agency-managed NDIS plans, registration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission under the Therapeutic Supports group. Response time: a slow reply matters more here than for many services, since dysphagia referrals carry real aspiration risk; 70 per cent of provider replies on Carevo land within an hour. Pricing transparency: ask for a written rate schedule against the $193.99 hourly cap and separate travel charges before you book. Coverage: 332 speech pathologists are listed on Carevo, so prioritise a therapist who already services your area and has AAC or paediatric feeding experience if that is your need.

Which funding pays for speech pathology at home?

NDIS participants have speech pathology funded under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living, using the Therapeutic Supports registration group, when a planner accepts it as reasonable and necessary for the participant’s goals (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26). It is available to any participant with a permanent, significant disability affecting communication, language or swallowing, and self-managed or plan-managed participants can book directly without a referral. For older Australians, Support at Home funds speech pathology as an allied health service in the Clinical Care category, which carries no participant contribution (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).

Where speech pathologists are available

Speech pathologists are listed across 4,782 suburbs on Carevo, with 332 speech pathologists in the network nationally. Sessions are often paired with occupational therapy in the same visit, or coordinated through therapy assistants for participants managing several allied health goals in one plan.

How this page is compiled

Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
