A better way to be found, and to be trusted
Families often spend weeks ringing around. Caredex gives them one place to look, and gives you a profile that shows you are who you say you are.
Families find you
They search by what they need and where they live. The nearest providers come first, so local families see you first.
Stand out as checked
Your profile shows how and when we checked you. That removes the doubt families have when they choose.
You control availability
Say when you are taking new clients. Families see the date you confirmed it, so you hear from people you can help.
Requests come to you
Families send a short request and you reply by email. You decide who you take on. During launch, when a family asks us for help, we also pass their request to matched, checked providers, with the family's OK.
Independent or with an agency
Join on your own, or register a team of up to 20 at once. Each person keeps their own profile and availability.
Planned for launch: invite colleagues with your own link, and refer a client on when it isn't your area. We never take client details.
Three steps. The first takes 2 minutes.
Register
Tell us your role and suburb. It costs nothing, and your Founding Partner place is reserved.
We check you
Before Melbourne opens we email you, look at a public register or at evidence you show us, and build your profile with you.
You go live
Melbourne opens in January 2027. Families search, and you update your availability and answer requests.
Every kind of NDIS provider
We are focused on Melbourne first. Providers anywhere in Australia can still register.
One check, the way that fits your role
We check each credential the way that suits your role, and the date goes on your profile.
AHPRA-registered professions
Occupational therapy, psychology, physiotherapy, podiatry and nursing are checked on the AHPRA public register.
Allied health with a professional body
Speech pathology, exercise physiology, dietetics, social work, audiology and more: their register or membership where one exists, or evidence shown.
Behaviour support
We rely on evidence you choose to show us, such as your listing on the NDIS Commission's find a behaviour support practitioner tool, plus your profession's registration where one exists. The tool is opt-in, so not being listed on it doesn't mean you are not approved. The profile says what we saw.
NDIS registered organisations
We check registered agencies and practices on the NDIS Commission register of providers, and show the registration on the profile. Each person in your team still has their own profile and check.
Support coordinators
The NDIS Commission register of providers, or your NDIS Worker Screening clearance. Support coordinators are never shown as self-declared.
Support workers
We look for you on the Victorian Register of Disability Workers, or ask to see your NDIS Worker Screening clearance. If we can't confirm it yet, your profile says "Clearance self-declared by the provider. Ask to see it." An ABN alone is not accepted.
Professional registrations are never self-declared.
This is what families see.
Sample profile, fictional provider.
“For more than 12 years I've been navigating the NDIS as a carer. I've spent months trying to find the right OT or speech therapist, and lost count of calls to providers who weren't taking anyone new. I'm not a clinician and won't pretend to be. I've spent 25 years building software, and Caredex is what I wish I'd had.”
Free for families too
Searching and connecting are free for families. Every profile shows what was checked, and when.
Your details are never sold
We delete them within 5 business days if you ask.
We'll tell you if plans change
If Caredex doesn't go ahead, we'll email you and delete your details.
Looking for a checked provider in Melbourne?
Register your interest for free and we'll email you when checked providers are available near you. Families who join before 15 January 2027 become Founding Family members.
"Checked" means we looked at the credential. It is not a recommendation of the provider or a guarantee of their quality or suitability, and every profile says so.
