NDIS Psychologist: How to Find the Right Support for You

If you or someone you care for is an NDIS participant and looking for a psychologist, you might be wondering where to start. Can the NDIS actually fund psychology? How do you choose the right psychologist? And what does the process even involve?

This guide is here to walk you through how it all works—and how to find a psychologist who gets it.

Can the NDIS Fund Psychology Services?

Yes—psychology can be funded under the NDIS if the support is related to your disability and considered “reasonable and necessary.” That usually means:

  • The psychologist is helping you work towards your NDIS plan goals
  • The support is making a real difference to your mental health, independence, or everyday life
  • The therapy is directly related to a diagnosed disability (like autism, intellectual disability, or a psychosocial disability)

This funding usually comes under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living.

For more details on eligibility, visit the NDIS official mental health supports page.

What Does an NDIS Psychologist Help With?

Psychologists can support NDIS participants with a wide range of things, including:

  • Help with managing emotions and behaviour
  • Building confidence, coping skills and social interactions
  • Mental health support related to your disability
  • Therapy for trauma, anxiety or low mood that’s affecting daily life
  • Reports for NDIS reviews or plan reassessments

They may also work closely with your family, school, support coordinator, or other professionals involved in your care.

The NDIS website has a searchable list of registered providers if you’re unsure where to begin.

How to Find a Psychologist for NDIS Participants

Here are some tips to help you find a psychologist who’s a good fit:

  1. Look for someone experienced with the NDIS: Ask if they regularly see NDIS participants and understand the system.
  2. Check if they offer reports: A good NDIS psychologist will be able to provide functional reports or letters to support your goals.
  3. Ask about availability: Waitlists vary, so it’s worth checking how soon you can be seen.
  4. Understand their billing setup: They don’t need to be NDIS registered if you’re plan-managed or self-managed—but it’s important to clarify this upfront.
