Sydney NDIS Psychology Services

The NDIS supports people with disability to increase their independence and fully participate in community and working life.

The NDIS funds mental health supports that focus on your functional ability and capacity building. If you have a disability arising from a mental health condition, the NDIS funds non-clinical treatments from a psychologist or mental health professional. Examples include developing social and communication skills to help you manage relationships and connect with your community, and behaviour intervention to help you be more confident and independent with day-to-day activities.

NDIS mental health support generally comes under two areas of funding:

• Therapeutic supports, funded through Capacity Building under Improved Daily Living
• Early childhood supports, for younger children

Check your NDIS plan to see whether your funding includes these areas. If your NDIS plan states that you have access to Allied Health or Psychological Services, you can access support from us. Give us a call on 1300 001 778 if you have any questions about your funding.

We cover a broad range of psychological areas that you may use under the NDIS, including:

• Anxiety and Depression
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Child Psychology
• Cognitive Assessments
• Global Developmental Delay
• Intellectual Disabilities
• Relationship Counselling and Improved Social Functioning
• Schizoaffective Disorder
• Anger Management and Emotional Regulation
• PTSD and Trauma

Your NDIS psychologist will work with you on any mental health issues you’re struggling with.

At New Vision Psychology, psychological services under the NDIS are billed at the recommended rate of $252.99 per hour.

We also perform the following psychological services for NDIS participants:

• Cognitive assessments (for the diagnosis of intellectual disability) – $1,680
• Autism diagnosis – $2,800
• ADHD diagnosis – $1,680

You are able to use funding under the category of ‘Improved Daily Living’ to access psychological services.

The NDIS can be confusing so please give us a call on 1300 001 778 so that we may assist in getting the help you seek.

This refers to a psychologist who is registered with the NDIS. If your funding is NDIS-managed, you will need to use a registered NDIS provider to access psychology services.

New Vision Psychology is a registered NDIS provider, which makes us qualified to provide NDIS-funded services. All psychologists at New Vision Psychology are also registered on the Psychology Board of Australia and Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Our NDIS psychologists provide therapeutic psychology support and early interventions. They help NDIS participants with capacity building and functional ability. They work collaboratively with other supports to achieve common goals.

To find out how to use your NDIS funding, call us at 1300 001 778.
