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 offer aids and equipment and related disability and aged care services. 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 does equipment hire and sales cover?
Equipment hire and sales covers short-term rental or outright purchase of assistive technology such as wheelchairs, mobility scooters, hospital beds, hoists, shower chairs and daily living aids. NDIS participants access these items through the Assistive Technology and Consumables support categories, with items over $1,500 needing an occupational therapy assessment and a supplier quote before approval (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26).
How to choose an equipment hire and sales provider
The provider list above is ranked using the criteria explained in the methodology section, but for equipment four factors matter most. Registration: check whether the supplier is NDIS-registered, which is generally required if you’re plan or agency-managed, and confirm they carry public liability cover for in-home delivery and setup. Response time: ask how quickly they can deliver in-stock items versus custom or made-to-measure items, since that gap can run from same-day to several weeks. Pricing transparency: get an itemised quote showing hire rate, bond and any delivery or pickup fee before you commit, especially for capital items over $1,500. Coverage: confirm the supplier services your postcode for delivery and any follow-up adjustment visits. Carevo has logged 241 equipment hire enquiries through its network, which is the pool the ranking above draws on.
Who qualifies for NDIS or Support at Home funded equipment?
NDIS participants access equipment through the Assistive Technology or Consumables support category depending on cost. Items under $1,500, such as shower chairs or basic walkers, can often be approved with a therapist’s written recommendation. Items over $1,500, including power wheelchairs, hospital beds and hoists, need a formal occupational therapy assessment and a supplier quote before the NDIS approves funding (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26). Older Australians without an NDIS plan can use Support at Home funding for equipment that supports independence at home, agreed with their Support at Home provider as part of the care plan budget (Department of Health and Aged Care, Support at Home Program Manual 2025).
Coverage across Australia
Equipment suppliers on Carevo currently list coverage across 4,782 suburbs nationally, drawn from a base of 28,004 NDIS-registered providers able to supply, deliver and set up assistive technology. If you’re working out which items your plan will fund before you order, see the occupational therapy at home page, or read the guide to low-cost assistive technology for NDIS participants.
