NDIS Psychologist
As psychologists, we are trained and experienced in the science of how people think, feel, behave and learn. We love to work with people with capacity building and improving daily living skills. Some common goals include better management of mental health conditions, improved adjustment to and management of chronic conditions, improved social skills, relationships, behaviour, emotion regulation, impulse control and overall quality of life…just to name a few!
The NDIS provides funding and support for persons diagnosed with psychosocial disabilities. For conditions other than those considered to be psychosocial, psychology services may be accessed in order to help improve daily living skills. As an example, a person diagnosed with Schizophrenia may have psychology services included in their plan to help them to develop social skills, hygiene skills, or behavioural management techniques.
Psychology services are funded by the NDIS if your NDIS plan includes the support category “Improved Daily Living Skills”, which is covered under the Capacity Building section of the NDIS plan. You must have this to receive psychology services, and psychology services must also be aligned with your goals set out in your plan.
We love to work with NDIS recipients who are self-managed or plan-managed by a third party, and able to choose their own providers. Through evidence-based psychological management and intervention, we may be able to help you to meet your NDIS goals and achieve an improved quality of living. We focus on your individual needs and goals.
Once registered with the NDIS, please inform our friendly receptionist or your Clinical Psychologist so that we can provide a service agreement when you have allocated funds for Capacity Building within your NDIS plan. You will also need to provide your NDIS number, your NDIS plan dates and a copy of your NDIS plan.
