NDIS Psychology
We help you manage your emotional and cognitive wellbeing so you get more out of life today.
Our dedicated team of NDIS psychologists, spread across the country, strives for the best possible outcomes for people living with disability. We prioritise providing personalised support that recognises the challenges and goals of each individual.
Ability Action Australia supports people with disabilities including teens and adolescents. We also understand the importance of supporting parents and carers who play a vital role in the lives of these individuals. With a intervention approach that supports both individuals and their support networks, we aim to create an inclusive approach to reach the best possible outcomes for everyone involved.
With nationwide coverage, our NDIS registered psychologists offer services both in-person and through telehealth.

Our psychology services
At Ability Action Australia, our psychology clinicians provide support for people with an NDIS plan who struggle to achieve their goals due to cognitive, behavioural or emotional difficulties.
With an NDIS plan that includes funding for intervention supports, our psychology clinicians can offer:
- Disability focused assessment of psychology support needs
- Evidence-based capacity building intervention
- Reports tailored to NDIS requirements
We offer face-to-face NDIS psychology services in NSW, Victoria, TAS, QLD and WA either from one of our clinics or through our convenient mobile services where our clinicians come to you. We also offer services nationally via our Telehealth service.
How you benefit
Our Psychology service offers a broad variety of benefits for NDIS participants, including an improved ability for you to relate to family and friends, connect with your local community and enrich your quality of life.
There is strong evidence for the benefits of psychology for a range of participants, including those living with physical, psychosocial, neurological, sensory, cognitive and intellectual disability.
Like other allied health disciplines, the role of a NDIS psychology clinician is to help you reach your goals. Our psychology clinicians will complete a disability focused assessment of psychology support needs to identify the cognitive, behavioural and emotional barriers and skill-deficits preventing you from achieving your NDIS goals. Our psychology clinicians will then generate an individualised, evidence-based intervention plan to address these. The intervention our psychology clinicians provide could include:
- Facilitating skill building in areas of need (e.g. social skills, emotional literacy or emotional regulation)
- Addressing cognitive, emotional or behavioural barriers which are preventing NDIS goal achievement (i.e. low self-confidence or problem solving difficulties)
- Providing psychoeducation and training to upskill both the formal and informal supports around a participant
- Completing comprehensive reports to inform support planning by outlining the functional impacts and current needs of a participant

NDIS Psychology
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a way of supporting people with permanent and significant disability. The NDIS is designed to give individuals greater choice and control over when, where and how their funded supports are provided. The specific support and funding available is based on each individual’s specific needs. You can find out more about what therapeutic supports are funded by referring to the NDIS website.
Ability Action Australia provides NDIS psychology services across Australia.
