What is mobile sonography?
Mobile sonography is diagnostic ultrasound imaging performed at home or in an aged care setting instead of a radiology clinic, using portable equipment that meets the same clinical standard as fixed sites. Services covered include abdominal, musculoskeletal, vascular and soft tissue scans. Medicare recognises home-based ultrasound as a diagnostic imaging service where a valid GP or specialist referral is held (Services Australia, 2025).
For someone in Northern Territory who finds travel exhausting after surgery, or who lives in residential aged care, having the sonographer come to them removes a trip that can be tiring or unsafe, and it means the scan happens without a long wait in a clinic.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Mobile sonography suits people for whom a clinic visit is a genuine barrier: older adults with limited mobility, people recovering from surgery, and residents of aged care facilities who cannot safely travel. It is not a Support at Home or NDIS core support and is not funded from a Support at Home budget (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). Access is through Medicare Diagnostic Imaging with a valid referral, or DVA for eligible Gold and White Card holders. Sonographers should hold current registration with the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR). The referral works the same way for a person in Northern Territory as it does at a clinic: the GP or specialist decides the scan is needed and writes the request, and the mobile sonographer performs it at home.
Finding a mobile sonographer in Northern Territory
Mobile sonography coverage is thinner than clinic-based imaging, so availability in Northern Territory depends on how many practitioners travel in the area. Before booking, check that the sonographer holds current ASAR registration, that they can perform the specific scan the referral asks for, and that they carry portable equipment rather than only offering to arrange a clinic appointment. Confirm they cover Northern Territory, since mobile rounds are planned by area.
Availability on Carevo
Carevo currently lists 28,038 vetted providers across NDIS and aged care services nationally, including allied health practitioners who can arrange mobile diagnostic imaging referrals. For a broader range of home-based clinical services, see allied health disciplines on Carevo.
