How we rank providers
Rankings in Tasmania 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 are registered with the NDIS for Therapeutic Supports, or offer diversional therapy, allied health, and social and community support. 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 Tasmania 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 diversional therapy at home?
Diversional therapy is a recreation-based allied health service that uses structured leisure, creative and cognitive activities, delivered in a person’s home, to support engagement, mood and independence. It is a recognised service under the Support at Home program (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025) and is typically delivered by ARTA-member therapists rather than existing as a stand-alone NDIS support type.
How to choose a provider for this service
Because diversional therapy has no fixed NDIS price limit, pricing transparency matters more than for most allied health services: ask each therapist to quote an hourly rate and confirm whether it is charged under Core Supports or a Support at Home care plan before you agree to sessions. Check ARTA membership directly, since it is the main external marker of qualification for this profession. Response times matter too, since a therapist who replies quickly is more likely to fit a leisure assessment around your schedule; providers are ranked on this using the criteria explained above. Carevo lists providers across 4,782 suburbs, so also confirm a therapist actually travels to your home rather than covering the region on paper only.
Which funding pays for diversional therapy at home?
Diversional therapy is a recognised service under the Support at Home program, so anyone assigned one of the 8 Support at Home funding classifications (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025) can ask their care partner to include it if social engagement or cognitive stimulation is an identified need. Commonwealth Home Support Programme clients can access it the same way through their CHSP provider. NDIS participants qualify differently: diversional therapy has no dedicated NDIS line item and sits outside the recognised therapy supports list, so it is usually funded as support-worker-delivered activity under Core Supports, subject to how the goals are written into the plan (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27).
Availability
Carevo lists diversional therapists and allied health providers who deliver home visits across 4,782 suburbs nationally, drawn from a base of 28,038 registered NDIS and aged care providers. Most areas have weekday availability with limited weekend sessions, and providers who also deliver occupational therapy or broader allied health support can often coordinate a combined visit. Search your suburb to see who currently has confirmed availability near you.

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.
