Are you searching for a verified NDIS provider?
Caredex opens for participant searches in Melbourne in January 2027. Register your interest now and we will notify you the moment you can search for verified providers near you.
100 Australian registrations by August 15.
That is the only condition.
This is not a marketing campaign. This is a genuine test of whether Australian NDIS providers want a free, verified directory. Melbourne metro opens to participant search in January 2027 — the first city in Australia with a fully verified NDIS provider directory. Providers from every Australian state, territory, and region are welcome to register as Founding Members now. If 100 providers register by August 15, we build. If they do not, we do not. Your registration is the evidence.

But I am not going to spend 6 months building something the sector does not want. I need 100 NDIS providers to register by August 15 to confirm this matters. Melbourne metro launches January 2027 — and every registered provider, from any state or region, becomes a Founding Member with permanent benefits. Not 1,000. Not 500. One hundred. If you are one of the 100, I will build this. If I cannot reach 100, I will tell you honestly on August 15 and delete everything you submitted.
Your registration costs you 2 minutes and nothing else. The risk of wasting months building something nobody wants is mine, not yours."
Every NDIS profession. Verified to the right standard.
Each profession is verified against the credential body that actually matters for that role — not a generic tick, the specific Australian register that proves they are who they say they are.
From registration to your first participant — in four steps
No complicated setup. No referral fees. Your credentials are verified before you go live — so participants trust every profile they see.
Register your practice
Submit your name, email, provider type, and suburb. Takes 2 minutes. No payment details. Founding Member badge reserved immediately.
Credentials verified
We check your AHPRA registration, NDIS Commission registration, or professional body membership against the live Australian register — before your profile goes live.
Participants find you
NDIS participants and carers search by profession, suburb, availability, and funding type. Your verified profile appears with your credential badge and live availability status.
Connect directly
Participants send a connection request through Caredex. You respond, agree on services, and start. No middlemen. No referral cut. No platform fees.
A verified provider, ready for you — in seconds
When Melbourne opens in January 2027, participants search by suburb, profession, and availability. Every result is verified. Every profile shows real information.
Illustrative search results — showing verified credential badges, live availability, and direct connect. Every provider shown has been checked against AHPRA, NDIS Commission, or relevant professional body before appearing.
Every provider checked. Every year.
We do not accept self-declaration. Before any provider appears in search results, we verify their credentials against the live Australian register for their profession. And we re-check every listing annually.
What your listing looks like to participants
A clean, verified profile that builds trust and makes it easy for the right participants to reach out directly.
Illustrative profile layout — your real profile will show your actual services, suburb, availability and languages. Reviews appear once participants leave them after connecting.
Why Caredex — not the NDIA finder or generic tools
The NDIA Provider Finder has a basic search. We built everything participants and providers actually need.

You are making this possible.
Founding Members are the providers who register before we start building in September 2026 — Melbourne metro and every Australian state. Without you, there is no Melbourne launch. Without you, there is no national rollout. With you, there is something genuinely worth building — Australia's most trusted verified NDIS directory, starting in Melbourne and expanding across the country.
when we begin building in September 2026.
Register before then to be included.
