What Are NDIS Psychology Services?
Understanding Therapeutic Supports under the NDIS
NDIS psychology services are part of the therapeutic supports category under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). These services are designed to improve mental health, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life for individuals with a disability. By working with a registered NDIS provider, participants gain access to evidence-based psychological therapies tailored to their unique needs and goals. Services may include individual therapy, behavioural interventions, and emotional regulation strategies.
Our registered psychologists use proven methods, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to address a variety of challenges. Whether delivered in-clinic, via telehealth, or in-home, NDIS-funded psychology services help participants build the skills and resilience needed to live more independently.
How Psychology Services Help Participants Achieve Goals
Psychology services under the NDIS focus on helping participants achieve their individual goals as outlined in their NDIS plans. These goals might include improving communication and relationships, developing coping strategies for mental health challenges, or enhancing participation in daily life and the community.
For example, participants with anxiety or depression can work with a psychologist to build practical strategies for managing their symptoms. Individuals with autism or ADHD can receive support to improve social skills and emotional regulation. By addressing these personal challenges, NDIS-funded psychology empowers participants to lead more fulfilling and independent lives.
Who Is Eligible for NDIS Psychological Support?
NDIS psychology services are available to eligible participants who have an NDIS plan that includes funding for therapeutic supports. To qualify, participants must demonstrate that psychological services are necessary to achieve their personal goals and enhance their daily living or community participation.
Commonly eligible participants include those with:
- Mental health challenges (e.g., anxiety, depression, PTSD)
- Neurodiverse conditions (e.g., autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities)
- Behavioural concerns or emotional dysregulation
- Complex psychosocial disabilities
