Frequently Asked Questions

Does NDIS fund psychology and counselling services?

The answer is yes! When the support improves the participant’s quality of life, NDIS funds both psychology and counselling services. The NDIS will cover these services when the support aligns with the participant’s NDIS funded plan and is related to their disability.

Am I eligible for NDIS psychology or counselling funding?

The NDIS will provide funding for psychology or counselling if you:

are an Australian and under 65 years of age.
have a diagnosed disability, or permanent disability which impacts your life significantly.
require support in your everyday life.
could benefit from psychology or counselling services in assisting with daily life, improving your daily living skills or improving your relationships.

When can a person receive NDIS for mental health?

You can get NDIS funds for your mental health when a mental illness or psychosocial disability is impacting on the quality of your life.
The NDIS can approve funding for psychology or counselling services when the support improves your daily living skills. This could include improving your independence, social and communication skills, or supporting your behaviour.
If your mental health needs are clinical, the NDIS is not responsible for your funding. For example, diagnosing or prescribing medicine for a mental health condition does not meet NDIS funding criteria.

How do I use NDIS funding to pay for psychology sessions?

If your NDIS funding is ‘Self Managed’, your psychology or counselling session fees will be paid directly to BUSY Health and this can be reimbursed using your NDIS funding.

If you have an NDIS Plan Manager, BUSY Health will send the invoice direct to them after the completed psychology or counselling session.
