As NDIS Requirements Change, Careva Helps You Stay Compliant & Independent

Stay independent. Even as the NDIS changes.

Careva exists to ensure independent providers can remain participant-chosen, while meeting the evolving regulatory requirements of the NDIS.

Mandatory registration is expanding to cover personal care and daily living supports. If you are a sole trader support worker, behaviour support practitioner, or allied health professional, the question of what to do next is real and it is urgent.

Careva gives you immediate access to operate under our existing NDIS registration. Your participants keep you. You keep your independence. We carry the compliance.

Helping people is your purpose. The system shouldn't get in the way of that.

You didn't get into this work to spend your days navigating compliance, chasing paperwork, or worrying about whether your registration status will let you keep supporting the participants who depend on you.

But that's where a lot of independent sole traders and practitioners find themselves right now. Particularly with mandatory registration expanding to cover more provider types, the operating environment for sole traders is becoming more complex, not less.

Careva exists to absorb that regulatory burden so you don't have to. So you can focus on the work that actually matters.

Work on Your Terms

Deliver care on your terms—choose when you work, how you structure your day, and how you support your participants. Careva removes the operational burden so you can focus on meaningful work, not rigid systems.

Your Business. Not A Franchise.

Build and grow your own business with full ownership and control. Careva supports your operations behind the scenes—without taking away your independence or identity.


Get Started at No Cost

Start or transition your practice without upfront fees or financial pressure. Careva provides the systems, compliance, and back-office support you need—so you can begin and grow with confidence.

Is Careva Right For Me?

Careva provides the framework, support, and infrastructure to help you, as a non registered provider, operate and grow within a compliant NDIS environment using our NDIS registration to help you provide services to your participants.

Who Careva Is Built For

  • Careva is for independent practitioners who want to deliver NDIS services under our registration — not obtain their own.
  • Sole trader disability support workers delivering personal care or daily living supports who need to operate under a registered structure as mandatory requirements expand.
  • Behaviour support practitioners who must operate under a registered provider structure and want the compliance infrastructure to support that properly.
  • Allied health professionals; occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists — who want to work with NDIA-managed participants and need to operate under a registered structure to do so.
  • Small NDIS providers who want the operational systems, HR, compliance, and back-office support to scale sustainably without building everything from scratch.
  • If you are doing meaningful work and need the right structure around you to keep doing it, Careva was built for you.

Who Careva Is Not Built For

  • Careva does not help providers obtain their own NDIS registration. If you are looking to become a registered provider in your own right, the NDIS Commission's registration pathway is the right starting point for you.

  • Careva is also not right for you if you are looking for a traditional employment model with fixed hours and no autonomy, a franchise structure that dictates how you operate, or a quick fix rather than a sustainable long-term operating structure.

3 Things That Set Careva Apart

Operate under our registration — without going through the process yourself

Independent workers shouldn't disappear because of compliance burden. Going through the full NDIS registration process independently takes time and money most sole traders simply don't have. Verification audits alone typically cost between $900 and $1,800. Careva gives you immediate access to operate under our existing registration, without that process.

Your independence, protected

You determine how you work, when you work, and who you work with. Careva is not a franchise. We don't dictate your model or take away your identity. Participants remain in control of who supports them, always. We build the infrastructure around you so you can operate with confidence.

Built by people who have actually done this

Careva is part of Care Business Group, founded in 2016 and now supporting over 2,000 participants nationally across Therapy Care, Assist Disability Services, and Spic N Span. We have navigated NDIS registration, compliance, and scaling from the inside — not as consultants, but as operators. That experience is what we bring to every practitioner we work with.

FAQs

Careva is the registered provider structure that allows independent NDIS practitioners — sole trader support workers, behaviour support practitioners, and allied health professionals — to remain participant-chosen while meeting the evolving regulatory requirements of the NDIS. We carry the compliance, the systems, and the operational infrastructure. You keep your independence, your participants, and your practice.

Purpose first, always. We work with people who care deeply about their participants and their communities.
Clarity over complexity. We simplify what is genuinely complex so you can operate with confidence.
Integrity in everything. Ethical, sustainable practice is non-negotiable.
Independence protected. Your autonomy is the reason this model exists.
Real support from real people. We are practitioners and operators, not a call centre.

No. Careva is not a registration consultancy and we do not help providers obtain their own registration. What we offer is access to operate under Careva's existing registered provider structure. That is a fundamentally different thing. If you are looking to become a registered provider in your own right, the NDIS Commission's registration pathway is where to start.

We support three types of practitioners.

Independent sole traders and support workers who need to operate under a registered structure to deliver personal care, daily living supports, or to access NDIA-managed participants.

Behaviour support practitioners and allied health professionals who need to operate under a registered provider and want the compliance infrastructure to support that properly.

Small to medium NDIS providers who want to scale sustainably with the right operational systems, HR, compliance, and back-office support behind them.

There are no upfront fees to get started. Careva operates on a percentage of NDIS billing, meaning our success is directly tied to yours. Speak to our team for a full breakdown of how the model works.

Mandatory registration is expanding. From 1 July 2026, SIL and platform providers must be registered. The 2026-27 Federal Budget has confirmed that mandatory registration will extend further to cover personal care and daily living supports, rolling out from July 2027 through to end of 2030. Careva gives independent practitioners an immediate pathway to operate under a registered structure without going through that process alone.

You will be onboarded by our Customer Success team, who guide you through all required paperwork and issue your contract. You will then be set up in industry-leading systems with access to best-practice tools and standard operating procedures. Once operating, Careva manages compliance, registration maintenance, invoicing, and payments on your behalf. You focus on your participants.

Most structures in the NDIS sector are either large provider employment models that remove your independence, or franchise models that dictate how you operate. Careva is neither. You keep full ownership and control of your work. We provide the registration coverage, compliance infrastructure, and operational support around you — built by people who have been operating registered NDIS businesses since 2016.
