How we rank providers
Rankings in New South Wales are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here list Art Therapist among their professions, or offer art therapy and allied health. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated 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.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in New South Wales rank above those covering only the broader region.
What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

What is art therapy and who is it for?
Art therapy is a clinical therapy in which a trained therapist uses visual art-making, not artistic skill, to support emotional health, communication and cognitive function. The NDIS recognises it as a therapeutic support delivered by a qualified art therapist (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27). It suits people processing trauma, children who communicate better non-verbally, and older adults with dementia or memory loss.
How to choose a provider for this service
The list at the top of this page is ranked using the criteria explained in the methodology above it. For art therapy specifically, four checks matter most.
Registration. Confirm current ANZACATA membership and a postgraduate art therapy qualification before booking. Art therapist isn’t an AHPRA-registered title, so ANZACATA membership is the clearest quality signal available.
Response time. Art therapy enquiries often follow a new diagnosis or a plan review, so check how fast a provider actually replies, not how fast they claim to. Carevo tracks its 83 listed art therapists on exactly this measure.
Pricing transparency. Ask whether the quoted rate is the full hourly NDIS rate set out below or whether travel and report-writing are charged as separate line items.
Coverage. Confirm the therapist actually travels to your address for in-home sessions, not just to a clinic somewhere in your area.
Which NDIS budget pays for art therapy, and who qualifies?
Art therapy is funded under NDIS Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living, not Core Supports, using support item 15_610_0128_1_3, priced at $156.16 an hour (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27). This price limit has applied since 24 November 2025, when the NDIA aligned art therapy with the counselling rate following the independent Duckett Review that confirmed art therapy remains a funded NDIS support. The full story of the review, the rate change and how to claim is in our guide to NDIS art therapy funding. You qualify if your plan already includes this budget category and your goals connect to communication, emotional regulation, trauma processing or cognitive function tied to your disability. If the category isn’t in your plan yet, your support coordinator can request it at your next review with supporting clinical evidence. Support at Home participants can access art therapy as a therapeutic service for independent living, though this carries a means-tested contribution unlike core clinical supports (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). Some private health extras cover it, though Medicare pays no rebate for art therapy.
Where art therapy providers are available
Carevo lists 83 registered art therapists among 4,782 suburbs of provider coverage nationally, with allied health enquiries answered inside 24 hours 94 percent of the time. Art therapy is often booked alongside broader allied health supports, or as an alternative for clients who respond better to sound than image through music therapy.
How this page is compiled
The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources. Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
