Our psychology services

At Ability Action Australia, our psychology clinicians provide support for people with an NDIS plan who struggle to achieve their goals due to cognitive, behavioural or emotional difficulties.

With an NDIS plan that includes funding for therapeutic supports, our psychology clinicians can offer:

  • Specialised clinical assessment
  • Evidence-based intervention
  • Reports tailored to NDIS requirements

We offer face-to-face NDIS psychology services in NSW, Victoria, TAS, QLD and WA either from one of our clinics or through our convenient mobile services where our clinicians come to you. We also offer services nationally via our Telehealth service.

How you benefit

Our Psychology service offers a broad variety of benefits for NDIS participants, including an improved ability for you to relate to family and friends, connect with your local community and enrich your quality of life.

There is strong evidence for the benefits of psychology for a range of participants, including those living with physical, psychosocial, neurological, sensory, cognitive and intellectual disability.

Like other allied health disciplines, the role of a NDIS psychology clinician is to help you reach your goals. Our psychology clinicians will complete a specialised clinical assessment to identify the cognitive, behavioural and emotional conditions preventing you from working towards your goals, and then generate an individualised, evidence-based intervention plan to address these. The intervention our psychology clinicians provide could include:

  • Assessment of cognitive or intellectual functioning, to support a better understanding of the challenges you face and facilitate more effective intervention
  • Support and intervention of cognitive difficulties, such as problems with memory, attention, and planning
  • Support with the adjustment to a new health condition or with challenges related to a lifelong disability
  • Strategies to improve emotional regulation, inclusive of anger, anxiety, or sadness
  • Skills to facilitate social interactions, social communication, and connections with others

  • Are you permanently disabled or require early intervention to reduce the support you will need in the future?
  • Are you under 65 years old?
  • Are you living in Australia?
  • Are you an Australian citizen or permanent resident?

If you answered yes to all of the above, you may be eligible for NDIS funding. To apply, contact the NDIS directly on 1800 800 110. Alternatively, you can complete an Access Request Form on the NDIS website: www.ndis.gov.au

NDIS Psychology

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a way of supporting people with permanent and significant disability. The NDIS is designed to give individuals greater choice and control over when, where and how their funded supports are provided. The specific support and funding available is based on each individual’s specific needs. You can find out more about what therapeutic supports are funded by referring to the NDIS website.

Ability Action Australia provides NDIS psychology services across Australia.
