    How to Search NDIS Providers on Provider24

    Provider24 is a directory of NDIS and allied health providers across Australia. You can search NDIS providers by name, support category, location or state, then sort the results and read each listing before you get in touch. This guide walks through each search tool as it works on the site today.

    Three ways to start a search

    1. The header search box. The box marked “What are you looking for?” at the top of every page shows instant results as you type.
    2. The homepage search. The homepage has an “I am looking for…” field and a location field, so you can search for a service and a place together.
    3. The Explore page. Choose “Find a Provider” in the main menu, or go straight to the Explore page, for the full set of filters, sorting options and a map.

    Browse by support category

    Provider categories are grouped under eight parent categories. Each parent, and each category inside it, has its own page listing the providers in that category.

    The Aged Care category has no listings yet, so a search there will not return results for now.

    Use the filters on the Explore page

    The Explore page has these filters, in this order:

    • Find by name: type a provider’s name if you already know who you are looking for.
    • All Services: a category dropdown showing the parent categories and the categories inside each one.
    • Search by location: enter a place, then use the Proximity slider to set how far from that place you want to search.
    • State / Territory: limit results to one state or territory. All eight are available, including the Australian Capital Territory.
    • Service Tags: narrow results by tags such as 24/7 Care, ADHD, Cleaning & Gardening, Complex Care, Daily Support, Drama Therapy, Forensic Disability and Housing.
    • Order by: choose how the results are sorted.

    You can combine filters. A support category plus a state is often the quickest way to a short, relevant list.

    Sort your results

    The Order by menu has five options:

    • Recently added: the newest listings first.
    • Nearby: the closest listings first. This needs a location in the Search by location field.
    • Top rated: listings ordered by reviews left by users. Provider24 does not verify these reviews, so treat them as one input among several.
    • Random: a mixed order, useful for seeing listings you might otherwise scroll past.
    • A-Z: listings in alphabetical order.

    Use the map

    Results on the Explore page also appear on a map. Tick “Search as I move the map” and the results refresh as you move around, which helps when you want to look at a particular area.

    Browse by state

    If you would rather start with a place than a service, the NDIS providers by state pages group listings by state and territory.

    Reading a listing

    Open any result to see its full listing. A listing page shows:

    • the support categories the provider is listed under
    • information about the provider and their services
    • service tags
    • a location map with a “Get directions” link
    • a “Contact business” form to send a message straight to the provider
    • reviews from users, with a “Leave a review” button
    • Bookmark, Share and Report buttons

    Provider24 lists both registered and unregistered providers and does not check registration status. If registration matters for your plan, for example because your funding is NDIA-managed, check the provider on the NDIS Commission’s register of providers before you agree to anything.

    Tips for better results

    • Be specific. Search for the support you need, such as “support coordination” or “occupational therapy”, rather than a general phrase like “NDIS services”.
    • Use the names in your plan. The support category names in your NDIS plan often match the categories on Provider24.
    • Widen the area. If you get few results, increase the proximity range or try a nearby suburb.
    • Combine filters. Category plus state, or category plus location, cuts the list down quickly.
    • Compare a few. Read several listings before you decide. The guide on how to choose an NDIS provider lists the questions worth asking.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does Provider24 check whether a provider is NDIS registered?

    No. Provider24 lists registered and unregistered providers and does not check their registration. You can check a provider’s status on the NDIS Commission’s register of providers.

    Can I search for providers in my state only?

    Yes. Use the State / Territory filter on the Explore page, or start from the NDIS providers by state pages.

    What does “Top rated” mean?

    Top rated sorts listings by reviews left by users. Provider24 does not verify these reviews, so read them alongside the listing details and your own questions to the provider.

    Can I save a provider to look at later?

    Yes. Use the Bookmark button on a listing. You need to be signed in to bookmark, and you can register for an account from the sign-in page.
