Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between psychology and behaviour support under NDIS?
Psychology focuses on mental health and building psychological capacity. Behaviour support specifically addresses behaviours of concern through functional behaviour assessments and positive behaviour support plans.
Can I see a psychologist for mental health under my NDIS plan?
Yes, if your mental health relates to your disability. Psychology under NDIS is for building capacity and managing the psychological impacts of disability, not for general mental health conditions unrelated to disability.
How many psychology sessions does the NDIS fund?
There is no set number. Funding is based on your goals and what is reasonable and necessary. Your plan might fund weekly sessions for a therapy block, or less frequent sessions for maintenance.
Do I need a registered psychologist for NDIS?
You need an AHPRA-registered psychologist. They do not need to be NDIS-registered themselves (if you are plan or self-managed), but must hold current registration with the Psychology Board of Australia.
