Understanding psychology under the NDIS

NDIS-funded psychology supports participants to manage the psychological impact of their disability. This can include treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment difficulties that are directly linked to the participant’s disability and functional capacity.

The current NDIS rate for psychology sessions is $252.99 per hour. Sessions typically run for 50 to 60 minutes, with the remaining time allocated to clinical notes and treatment planning. Most participants attend weekly or fortnightly sessions, though this varies based on clinical need and plan funding.

It’s important to understand how NDIS-funded psychology differs from Medicare’s Better Access program. Under Medicare, you receive up to 10 sessions per year with a GP referral and mental health treatment plan. Under the NDIS, psychology is funded when the therapeutic work relates to your disability — it builds your capacity to manage daily life, relationships, and participation. If you have both NDIS funding and Medicare eligibility, the NDIS is the funder of last resort, meaning Medicare-funded sessions should be used first for general mental health needs.

When choosing an NDIS psychologist, look for practitioners with specific experience in disability. A psychologist who specialises in intellectual disability, autism, or acquired brain injury will approach therapy differently from a general practice psychologist. Ask about their experience with your particular disability, their approach to therapy (CBT, ACT, trauma-informed care), and whether they provide reports for NDIS plan reviews.

Sessions can take place in a clinic, at home, or via telehealth. Telehealth has become widely accepted under the NDIS and can be particularly useful for participants in regional areas or those with mobility limitations. Home visits may attract additional travel charges, which must be agreed before the session and documented in your service agreement.
