NDIS psychology
Psychology that meets you where you actually are.
NDIS-funded psychology delivered in clinic, via telehealth, or as outreach in your home or community — for participants with autism, intellectual disability, behavioural concerns, and the mental health needs that often travel alongside.
How NDIS funding works for psychology
The National Disability Insurance Scheme funds psychology services where they are reasonable and necessary in light of your disability and the goals in your plan. For autistic participants, those with intellectual disability, and many others, psychology is a standard component of the supports the NDIS will fund.
The flexibility of the NDIS means that, beyond standard in-clinic appointments, sessions can be delivered in whatever setting genuinely supports the work — your home, a familiar community space, school (where appropriate), or via telehealth. For many participants, that flexibility is what makes therapy actually accessible.
Areas of NDIS support
What Nikki can help with under NDIS
Autism support
Therapy for autistic adults, adolescents and children — working with anxiety, burnout, sensory overwhelm, social exhaustion, identity questions, and the practical work of building a life that fits your wiring.
Intellectual disability
Supportive therapy and behavioural support for participants with intellectual disability, paced and adapted to communication preferences and processing needs. Family or support-worker collaboration where helpful.
Behavioural concerns
Working with behaviours of concern from a function-first perspective — understanding what the behaviour is communicating before working on what to change. Particularly relevant where neurodivergence is part of the picture.
Co-occurring mental health
Anxiety, depression, trauma responses, OCD and related presentations that often sit alongside primary disability. Integrated treatment that does not pretend these run on separate tracks.
Self-managed, plan-managed, agency-managed
All three management types are welcome, and each works slightly differently behind the scenes. None of it changes the work that happens in sessions.
Self-managed
You receive an invoice after each session and pay it directly, then claim reimbursement from the NDIS through the participant portal. The most flexible option, with full choice over providers.
Plan-managed
We invoice your plan manager directly. They process payment from your plan. Combines flexibility of provider choice with administrative ease — no reimbursement chasing on your end.
Agency-managed
The NDIA manages your plan directly. We are a registered NDIS provider, which means agency-managed participants can access services without restriction. We claim payment through the NDIA portal after each session.
Outreach in home and community
For some participants, attending a clinic — with its sensory environment, the travel, the unfamiliarity — is itself the barrier. Outreach sessions delivered in your home, in a community space you are familiar with, or in a setting relevant to the work (for example, a place anxiety has clustered around) can make therapy genuinely accessible.
Outreach involves additional travel time which is funded under your NDIS plan within standard NDIS pricing. We will discuss whether outreach is the right option for your situation and what it would look like before booking.
How to get started
1. Get in touch
Either book directly via our online calendar or request a free 15-minute call to talk through whether the fit is right and what would suit you best — in clinic, telehealth or outreach.
2. Confirm your plan management
We will ask a few practical questions — your plan management type, the relevant line items in your plan, and any goals or recommendations from previous reports that should inform our work together.
3. First session and goal-setting
The initial session focuses on understanding your situation, your priorities, and how the work should be paced. From there we build a plan together that fits within your NDIS funding and what you are trying to achieve.
