Mental Health and NDIS

 Mental health issues are among the greatest causes of disability in Australia and it is estimated that 1:5 people experience mental health issues each year. Everyone's experiences of mental illness differs, some individuals can live an independent and fulfilling life with the right support and early interventions and for others the impact can be severe affecting their ability to complete daily living tasks at home or in the community.  

Understanding the NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an innovative way to provide support to individuals with disability and their families. The unique funding scheme is focused on helping people have choice and control in all decision making. 


NDIS can support people with psychosocial disability. Psychosocial disability is the term used to describe disabilities that may arise from mental health issues. Whilst not everyone who has a mental health issue will experience psychosocial disability, those that do can experience severe effects and social disadvantage. People with a significant disability that is  permanent may qualify for NDIS support.


NDIS is committed on ensuring that hope restoring recovery practices are provided to ensure that participants with psychosocial disability are supported through their recovery journey.
