Psychosocial Disability Support for NDIS Participants

Psychosocial disability arises from mental health conditions that can impact a person’s ability to carry out daily activities, maintain relationships and participate in community life. These impacts are often complex and can change over time. For disability workers, providing effective psychosocial support requires a clear understanding of role responsibilities, ethical practice, communication strategies and person-centred care.

This Training Module provides an overview of how to safely and ethically support NDIS participants living with psychosocial disability. It also highlights the importance of providing the right type of support to the participant to promote wellbeing and meaningful participation in everyday life.
