The NDIS provides funding to eligible individuals with disabilities, offering greater independence, skill development opportunities, inclusion and an overall improved quality of life.
Psychosocial Disability (PSD) refers to impairments in functioning caused by mental health conditions, impacting an individual's ability to engage in daily activities and participate in society. Unlike clinical diagnoses alone, PSD focuses on how these conditions hinder one's capacity to work, study, or socialise effectively.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) stands as a transformative initiative in Australia, offering crucial support to individuals with disabilities. Established to enhance the quality of life for eligible participants, the NDIS covers a wide spectrum of disabilities, including intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive, and psychosocial impairments.
Occupational therapists (OTs) are indispensable allies in the journey towards mental health recovery and wellbeing.
