At Positive Wellbeing Psychology, our NDIS psychologists have a special interest in providing mental health support to children, adolescents, adults, and families who are NDIS participants. Our warm and compassionate psychologists offer evidence-based psychology support aimed at improving the mood and mental health of individuals registered with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Our clinicians deliver NDIS psychology services to both NDIS Self-Managed and NDIS Plan-Managed participants in Australia. We believe in psychological support to help individuals maintain positive health and well-being and to enhance mood, self-esteem, capacity building supports, daily living skills, performance goals, relationships, and overall life satisfaction. We have a special interest in mental health care and supporting individuals to achieve their NDIS goals.
Reaching out to NDIS psychology providers
Our Melbourne NDIS psychologists support Self-Managed and Plan-Managed participants who are registered under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia.
If you have an NDIS plan and NDIS funding, or just submitted your NDIS application, reaching out to our Melbourne psychology practice may assist you in improving your mental health and reaching your NDIS goals. Currently, we are not a registered NDIS provider. This means we are unable to provide psychology services to individuals with NDIS-managed funds. Should you have a support coordinator, you are welcome to include their details in your online enquiry or as part of the intake process, so that our registered psychologists can support you by establishing a collaborative approach to providing evidence-based psychology services and disability support.
What psychology services are available for individuals under the NDIS?
Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you may be able to access NDIS Capacity Building and Daily Activities – Improved Daily Living Skills – Therapeutic Supports, which include Assessment, Recommendation, Therapy, and/or Training (including AT) delivered by a psychologist. The NDIS item codes are:
- 15_054_0128_1_3
- 01_701_0128_1_3
What details are required to access NDIS psychology services?
First, you must confirm that you are an NDIS registered participant, either Self-Managed or Plan-Managed under the NDIS, as we are not registered NDIS providers. This must be included in the online enquiry you send via our website. Additionally, please specify whether you are seeking weekly, fortnightly, or another frequency of sessions to ensure we can offer ongoing psychological support after your initial consultation. This information helps us match you with a registered psychologist who can best meet your individual needs and NDIS goals to provide ongoing psychological services.

What to expect when seeking mental health support from an NDIS psychologist?
Our NDIS psychology services work with participants and their families to achieve clear strategies and goal-directed interventions. In your first session, your NDIS psychologist will gather information about your mental health and begin exploring what you would like to achieve during our time together, including your NDIS goals. Our registered psychologists recognise that you are that expert in your life experiences and are leading the way in your journey.
Your psychologist start to identify your strengths, interests, and objectives, allowing us to tailor our support to meet your specific needs. This early discussion helps us provide the skills and assistance you are seeking, ensuring our work together is focused on your goals and well-being.
Are NDIS goals explored as part of engaging in psychology support?
Early in therapy or during the intake process, an NDIS psychologist will discuss your goals as part of the referral information to form the basis of our work together. Through collaborative goal setting, registered psychologists and NDIS participants establish measures that effectively track progress, which can be adjusted as needed to suit your evolving needs and circumstances. If you are unsure, your NDIS psychologist can answer any questions about mental health issues and the NDIS support available, and help explore your values to set goals aimed at improving your mood, self-esteem, and independence.
How to know when it is beneficial to reach out for support?
It’s common for NDIS-registered participants to work with a registered psychologist to access support for a range of difficulties. Our clinicians provide strategies that can be useful day-to-day to empower you and enhance your quality of life. We are here to listen and provide evidence-based strategies to both you and your support network. Our Melbourne psychologists prioritise your unique needs and goals, which we explore collaboratively during your first session.
