NDIS Psychological Therapy

Does the NDIS provide support for psychology?

The NDIS has support in place to help you if you have mental health issues resulting in a disability. The aim of these supports is for recovery. The word recovery, here, refers to achieving a stable state of personal, social, and emotional wellbeing. As mental health conditions can be episodic, the budget within your plan is flexible. You can decrease or increase your budget as needed.
