Do psychologists do home visits?

Yes. Mobile psychologists deliver the same evidence-based therapy a clinic does, most commonly CBT, ACT and trauma-focused approaches, in the client's home. It suits agoraphobia and panic disorder, severe fatigue or chronic pain, limited mobility after illness, and disability that makes travel and unfamiliar rooms distressing. Telehealth is the common middle option.

Families never pay Carevo. Providers pay a subscription to connect with families, with no commission or paid ranking. How Carevo works

Activity figures describe Carevo enquiries, not appointments or care quality. Acceptance timing excludes unclaimed enquiries. Confirm current capacity directly. Measurement period and method.

How we rank providers

Rankings in Australia use directory relevance and observable activity on Carevo: service match, distance, register-sourced status fields, whether an enquiry can reach the provider, and recent response and connection activity. Rankings are recalculated daily. They do not assess care quality or recommend a provider.

How this list is built. Providers shown here list Psychologist among their professions, or offer psychology and allied health. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
Activity on Carevo. We measure recent actions such as connecting on an enquiry, opening its contact details, responding, and an inquirer reporting whether a connection helped. These are platform activity signals, not an assessment of the support delivered.
Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
Register-sourced status. NDIS registration fields come from the NDIS Commission provider register. Aged care approval fields come from the My Aged Care register. These statuses are ranking inputs, not Carevo endorsements, and you should confirm the current register entry before choosing a provider.
Carevo enquiries. Providers who have paused requests from us are moved down among providers with the same relevance. They stay visible and are marked as not receiving Carevo enquiries.
Recent activity. Providers active on Carevo recently (a connection, a login, or a profile update) get a small boost, the same signal shown as "Active this week" on their card. It is deliberately small: stronger relevance and condition evidence outweigh a recent login.
Local presence. Providers confirmed in Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.

What the enquiries status means

It answers one question: would a request sent through Carevo today actually reach them? It is not a rating, it is not about the provider's books, and it is not a statement about their capacity, their waiting list, or the quality of their care.

Receiving: At least one contact on their account is set up to receive new requests from us, and someone has signed in recently enough for us to say a person is there.
Not receiving: Every contact on the account has unsubscribed or paused, so we have no way to pass an enquiry on.
No status shown: We cannot tell either way, so we say nothing rather than label the provider. The account is set to receive enquiries, but nobody has signed in recently, or there are no contact details on file. It is not a negative mark, and most listings sit here.

A provider who is not receiving our enquiries may well be taking new clients directly. Providers set this themselves and can turn it back on at any time from their Carevo account or from any email we send them. Providers not receiving our enquiries are moved down the list and never hidden. It is refreshed daily, so a provider who resumes, or signs in, reappears within a day.

What the Carevo activity rating means

The Strong activity rating describes how a provider behaves on Carevo, not the care they deliver.

Where it starts: Every provider starts at a baseline of 50.
What moves it: Enquiries from the last 90 days. The strongest positive is a care seeker naming that provider as the one who helped them. The clearest negative is connecting on an enquiry and never opening the contact details.
How it is kept honest: Recalculated daily from scratch, shown only above the baseline and only with at least two scored signals, and removed automatically when either stops being true. It cannot be purchased.

It is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or an assessment of care quality, and we do not screen providers for complaints. Complaints are handled by the NDIS Commission and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. See the full activity rating methodology.

How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo shows register-sourced status fields and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm the current entry yourself. Here is what each listing shows and where to check it. A listing on Carevo is not an endorsement.

NDIS registration

Listings show whether a provider reports being NDIS registered. You can confirm a provider's current registration and approved support types yourself on the NDIS Commission's public provider register.

Source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

Aged care approval

The aged care approval label is sourced from the Australian Government's My Aged Care provider register. Confirm the current entry and the services listed there before choosing a provider.

Source: My Aged Care (Department of Health and Aged Care)

ABN you can check

Most listings include the provider's Australian Business Number, shown on the profile. You can look it up on the Australian Business Register to confirm the business is registered and active.

Complaints process

If you have a concern about any provider, you can lodge a complaint with the NDIS Commission or the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission at any time. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

How much does psychologists cost in Australia?

Psychologists in Australia typically costs $252.99/hour (NDIS price limit). Actual rates vary by provider, funding type, and the level of support required.

How to pay for psychologists

Funding options include Medicare, NDIS, aged care or private fees. Eligibility depends on your assessment and plan.

NDIS price limits for psychologists

These are selected support items relevant to this service, not a funding approval or a complete list. Confirm the task, practitioner, plan and item before booking. Price limits apply to NDIA-managed and plan-managed purchases where the pricing rules apply. Self-managed participants can negotiate above or below these limits.

Support item	Code	Price limit
Therapy - Psychologist - Direct Service	15_054_0128_1_3	$252.99 per hour

2026-27 standard (MMM 1-5) limits from the current NDIA catalogue. Meal preparation/delivery items exclude food costs. High-intensity support-worker items are not nursing items. Remote and very remote loadings, and the price history for each item, are on its page. Browse every NDIS support item and price limit.

Finding a psychologist in Australia

Carevo connects people with provider listings. Confirm that the individual practitioner makes home visits, has relevant experience and has a current appointment available. A listing does not establish clinical suitability.

Credentials and scope

Check current registration with the Psychology Board of Australia through Ahpra. Ask about the proposed assessment or treatment, relevant experience and professional scope.

NDIS disability support or clinical treatment?

NDIS funding can cover eligible disability-related support that meets the funding criteria and the stated support in the plan. Clinical treatment of a mental-health condition is generally the health system’s responsibility. A diagnosis, therapy technique, goal or available budget alone does not make a session NDIS-funded. NDIA mental health funding guidance.

Ask the practitioner to explain the purpose of each proposed service and the funding pathway before booking. NDIS funding is not a top-up for treatment after Medicare sessions run out.

Fees and other funding

The selected 2026-27 standard NDIS direct-service price limit is $252.99 per hour where price limits apply. Self-managed participants can negotiate above or below this limit. Private rates vary. Ask for a written quote covering sessions, reports, travel and cancellation charges.

Ask your GP and the practice whether the proposed service meets Medicare Better Access requirements, and confirm the rebate and any gap before booking.

Under Support at Home, an approved clinical support can have no participant contribution within the available budget. Provider prices still affect how far that budget goes.

Questions before starting

Ask how goals and consent will be agreed, what evidence supports the proposed intervention, what alternatives exist, how progress will be assessed and how the practitioner coordinates with your treating team. This guide has not been clinically reviewed and cannot determine which treatment is right for you.

Funding sources

What psychologists costs

$252.99/hour (NDIS price limit)

NDIS price limits are national. They do not vary by state or territory, but most items carry higher limits in remote (MMM6) and very remote (MMM7) areas.

Remote areas attract a 40 per cent loading and very remote areas 50 per cent on most priced supports. The plan management monthly fee is flat across all three. A provider may charge less than the limit. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can also use unregistered providers, who set their own rates.

Source: NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27 (effective 1 July 2026). Prices are what a provider may charge, not what you will pay: your funding, plan management type and service agreement decide that.

Australian Regulations & Compliance

NDIS providers may be registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, and registered providers comply with the NDIS Practice Standards. Registration is mandatory only for specified supports and circumstances, such as specialist disability accommodation, plan management, and supports involving regulated restrictive practices. Self-managed and plan-managed participants may generally choose registered or unregistered providers; NDIA-managed participants must use registered providers. Aged care services operate under the Aged Care Quality Standards enforced by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. Providers are subject to regular audits and must maintain worker screening in accordance with state and territory requirements. Participants have the right to make complaints, change providers, and access independent advocacy at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find an NDIS registered psychologist?

NDIS funding is for eligible disability-related supports that meet the plan and funding criteria. Clinical treatment of a mental-health condition is generally the health system's responsibility. A diagnosis, therapy technique or practitioner qualification alone does not make a session NDIS-funded. Check Medicare, private insurance and private payment separately with the practitioner.

How much does an NDIS psychologist cost?

How many Medicare psychology sessions can I get?

Up to ten Medicare-rebated individual sessions a calendar year under Better Access, with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan and a GP review after the first six. The rebate applies in a clinic, by telehealth or at home, but few psychologists bulk bill home visits, so confirm the gap fee when you book.

Is psychology free under Support at Home?

Yes. For people 65 and over, or 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Support at Home funds psychology as a clinical support with no participant contribution where it addresses a mental health, adjustment or cognitive need, after assessment through the Single Assessment System (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).

Psychologist, counsellor or psychiatrist: which do I need?

A psychologist is AHPRA-registered, can diagnose, run formal assessments and deliver structured therapy, but cannot prescribe. A counsellor works under a title that is not AHPRA-protected, usually costs less and suits talk-based support without a diagnosis or NDIS report. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who diagnoses complex conditions and prescribes medication, seen by GP referral. For memory or brain-injury assessment, a neuropsychologist.

Can an older person get psychology at home?

Yes. Grief, adjustment to a diagnosis, anxiety after a fall and depression after losing a licence or partner are all treatable at home. Support at Home funds it as a clinical support after assessment, and a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan works at any age.

How quickly do Psychologists providers respond to enquiries?

Based on 25,785 accepted enquiries across all services on Carevo, the median acceptance time is 4 minutes. 69% of enquiries have details accepted by a provider within 1 hour, and 86% within 24 hours among accepted enquiries. Unclaimed enquiries are excluded; acceptance does not measure contact or care starting.
