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 Daily Personal Activities and Development of daily living and life skills, or offer support work. 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 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.

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.

Workers delivering NDIS supports in South Australia need the NDIS Worker Check, administered by the SA Department of Human Services Screening Unit. 296 of the 324 support worker providers listed in SA are registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Unregistered providers can still deliver many supports if your plan is plan managed or self managed.
NDIS price caps do not change by state: the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits set the same maximum rates in South Australia as everywhere else in Australia. Higher caps apply in areas classified remote or very remote, which covers parts of South Australia.

Support Worker by suburb in South Australia
Browse providers in the busiest areas, or use any suburb page to see who services your postcode.
What does a support worker do?
A support worker helps with personal care, daily tasks, community access and skill-building so a person with disability or an older Australian can live more independently at home. Under the NDIS, this support sits within Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life, priced under the Assistance with Self-Care Activities item (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26). Older Australians access the same kind of help through Support at Home.
How to choose a provider for support workers
Use the ranking methodology explained above to shortlist candidates, then check these points before you commit.
Registration. If your NDIS plan is NDIA-managed, you can only use a registered provider. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can also use unregistered providers, though many still prefer the added oversight of registration. Confirm status on the NDIS Commission register before you start.
Response time. A slow first reply usually means a slow start date. Across Carevo, 93 per cent of provider inquiries get a response within 24 hours.
Pricing transparency. Get the hourly rate in writing, including travel time, minimum booking length and any weekend or public holiday loading, before you agree to a start date.
Coverage. Confirm the provider actually rosters staff in your suburb on the days and times you need, not just the broader region it lists.
Which funding pays for a support worker, and who qualifies?
NDIS participants fund support workers under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life, billed against the Assistance with Self-Care Activities item at up to 70.23 per hour on a standard weekday or 75.98 per hour for high-intensity support (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26). Anyone with an approved NDIS plan and a Core Supports budget that includes this support qualifies. Older Australians access equivalent help through Support at Home, following an assessment through the Single Assessment System (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). DVA card holders can also access support workers through DVA Community Nursing or Veterans’ Home Care.
Availability

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