What is home visit optometry?
Home visit optometry is a full eye examination, including visual acuity testing, glaucoma screening and glasses prescription, delivered by an AHPRA-registered optometrist using portable equipment at a person’s home instead of in a clinic. Standard consultations attract a Medicare Benefits Schedule rebate (e.g. MBS item 10910), per Services Australia 2025.
For people in Tasmania who cannot easily get to a clinic, a home visit removes the transport, parking and waiting-room barriers that stop many older people and people with disability from getting their eyes checked at all.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Home optometry suits people who cannot easily reach a clinic due to mobility limits, frailty or disability, including older Australians and NDIS participants. The eye test itself is a Medicare service, not an NDIS or Support at Home line item. Low vision aids such as magnifiers can be funded through the NDIS Assistive Technology budget when linked to a participant’s disability, per the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27.
An undiagnosed vision problem often shows up first as something else: more falls, giving up reading or hobbies, or trouble recognising faces. If any of these have changed recently for someone in Tasmania, an eye test is a cheap first step before assuming the cause is cognitive.
Finding a mobile optometrist in Tasmania
Two things decide whether a home optometrist is a fit: whether they carry portable equipment for a full exam rather than a basic sight check, and whether they already cover Tasmania, since mobile optometry rounds are usually planned by area. Ask both before booking. An optometrist who can dispense or order glasses directly, rather than only writing a prescription, saves a second trip.
Availability on Carevo
Carevo lists AHPRA-registered optometrists offering home visits alongside 28,038 providers on the platform across 4,782 suburbs. For broader in-home allied health options including OT and physiotherapy, see allied health services.
