Free Resource: How the NDIS Supports People with a Psychosocial Disability

Living with a psychosocial disability can impact everyday life — from routines and relationships to confidence and community participation. The NDIS provides tailored supports to help individuals build independence, stability, and connection.

What is Psychosocial Disability?

Psychosocial disability refers to the functional impacts of a mental health condition — not just the diagnosis itself. It’s one of the fastest-growing areas of NDIS participation in Australia.

Quick Fact:
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to access the NDIS — what matters is how your mental health condition affects your ability to take part in everyday life.
