Psychology plays a key role in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It supports mental well-being by helping participants manage emotions, improve relationships, and reach personal goals.
At Access Your Supports (AYS), our psychology services focus on practical outcomes that matter in everyday life.
What Is Psychology Under the NDIS?
Psychology under the NDIS includes assessments, treatment, and support from qualified professionals. These services are funded through the scheme and are designed to help people with disability manage mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and social isolation.
Participants can use their NDIS plan to access psychological support under the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living category. This includes one-on-one therapy, behaviour support, and strategies to improve social skills and independence.
How AYS Psychologists Can Help
AYS psychologists work with you to understand what you want to achieve.

What to Expect from Appointments
At AYS, we don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Each participant is treated as an individual. We take the time to listen and understand what’s most important to you.
During your first session, the psychologist will ask about your goals, interests, and current challenges. Together, you’ll build a plan. This plan acts as a guide to support your mental health journey. It can change over time, depending on your needs.
There is no pressure, and you’ll never be expected to open up before you’re ready. Each step is taken at your pace, with a focus on building trust and confidence.
Psychology and the NDIS: A Clear Path Forward
The NDIS provides funding to make psychology more accessible. This means you don’t need to worry about the financial side. Instead, you can focus on improving your well-being with support that matches your needs.
AYS helps you make the most of your NDIS plan by:
- Matching you with a psychologist who suits your preferences
- Creating a service agreement that is easy to understand
- Offering appointment options that work around your schedule
- Adjusting the plan when your goals change
We work closely with you, your support coordinator, or your plan manager to make sure everything runs smoothly.
