About Psychosocial Disability

Psychosocial disability arises from mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and PTSD. It affects a person's ability to participate in daily life, maintain relationships, and access employment or education. The NDIS recognises that psychosocial disability can be episodic — support needs may fluctuate over time.

Key NDIS supports for psychosocial disability

NDIS supports for psychosocial disability include psychology and counselling, support coordination (often specialist Level 3), support workers for daily living and community participation, plan management to reduce administrative burden, and peer support programs. Recovery-oriented approaches are central to good psychosocial support.
