What does it mean?
Psychosocial disability describes disability arising from a mental health condition when the impact substantially affects daily functioning. A diagnosis alone does not describe the person’s support needs.
Functional impacts may occur across communication, social interaction, learning, mobility, self-care and self-management. They may also fluctuate over time, which makes flexible and consistent support particularly important.
Self-care
Initiating hygiene, meals, health routines and personal care.
Social connection
Managing anxiety, trust, communication and relationships.
Community participation
Leaving home, attending activities and navigating unfamiliar settings.
Learning
Processing, remembering and applying information or new skills.
Emotional wellbeing
Recognising changes, using strategies and accessing support early.
Using your plan
How your funding is managed.
Your plan may use one or more management types. Service availability can depend on the support and registration requirements.
Agency-managed
Claims are made through the NDIA. Registered providers can deliver supports where their registration covers the relevant service.
Plan-managed
A plan manager receives invoices and makes payments on your behalf. You can generally use registered or unregistered providers.
Self-managed
You manage payments and records directly, giving you greater control and responsibility over purchasing supports.
