- How this list is built. Providers shown here offer psychology, social and community support, allied health, support work, personal care, and nursing, the support types most relevant to depression in older adults. They are then ranked by demonstrated experience with depression in older adults, providers who have actively claimed and supported depression in older adults referrals rank above those who only list it as a 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.
- Condition-specific track record. Providers who have accepted and worked with depression in older adults referrals on Carevo rank above those who only list the condition as a capability. We weight providers using their demonstrated experience with this cohort, not self-declared specialisations.

Source: NDIS Commission / Aged Care CommissionUnderstanding Depression and Anxiety in Older Adults
Depression in older Australians is common, with an estimated 10-15% of those living in the community experiencing anxiety or depression and far higher rates in residential aged care, where around 16% show major depressive symptoms (AIHW, Mental Health in Aged Care, 2024). Late-life depression is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated because symptoms are often attributed to normal ageing or confused with dementia. Depression in older people may present differently than in younger adults: sadness may be less prominent, while physical symptoms (fatigue, pain, sleep disturbance, appetite changes), cognitive complaints (difficulty concentrating, memory problems), and withdrawal from activities may be more noticeable. Untreated depression significantly increases the risk of suicide, and older men have the highest suicide rate of any demographic group in Australia. With appropriate treatment (medication, therapy, social support), depression in older adults responds well to intervention.

Can a psychologist visit my home to support my mental health in Victoria?
Yes, psychologists in Victoria can provide home visits for older people who have difficulty travelling to a clinic, offering evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy for depression and anxiety. Psychology services may be funded through a Home Care Package, the Support at Home program, or a GP Mental Health Care Plan with Medicare rebates. Carevo connects people in Victoria (VIC) with psychology providers who offer home visits.
How can social support reduce depression in elderly people living in Victoria?

These services can be funded through a Home Care Package or the Support at Home program. Carevo connects people in Victoria (VIC) with social support providers.
How do I arrange in-home psychology or counselling for an elderly parent in Victoria?
A GP in Victoria can issue a Mental Health Care Plan providing Medicare rebates for up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year, many of which can be delivered as home visits for older adults who have difficulty travelling. A Home Care Package or the Support at Home program accessed through My Aged Care can fund additional psychology, counselling, and social support services beyond what Medicare covers. Carevo connects families in Victoria (VIC) with mental health providers who offer home visits for older adults.
How do I talk to an elderly parent about getting mental health support in Victoria?
Many older adults in Victoria feel reluctant to seek help for depression due to stigma or a belief that low mood is a normal part of ageing, so framing the conversation around physical wellbeing and quality of life rather than mental illness can help. Starting with a GP appointment is often the least confronting first step, as the GP can raise concerns and make referrals within a familiar medical context. Carevo can connect your family in Victoria (VIC) with providers offering in-home companionship and psychology services once support is accepted.
