The overall distribution of this species can be assessed, and
specific locations where birds have been spotted can be found,
based on individual sighting reports submitted by birdwatchers to
ebird.org
.

NB:
Reports on ebird of birds submitted by birdwatchers from
the Australian Outback tend to be clustered along roads
and public areas such as camp grounds; in such cases their
distribution is not a good representation of the overall
distribution of the species.
Scarlet-chested Parrots are endemic to Australia.
They inhabit parts of the semi-arid interior
of the Australian continent. They are found along the lower Darling
River, close to the confluence with the Murray River, in the western-most
part of NSW and across essentially the entire northern half of SA,
into eastern WA along the border with SA. Conditions permitting,
they will disperse further across the interior towards the North,
South and especially the West, into inland WA (towards Kalgoorlie,
WA).
Scarlet-chested Parrots have a preference for
mulga-dominated
scrub and
mallee.
