NDIS and Psychological Services

Straight Up Psychological Services is not a registered NDIS provider.

This means services are generally available to participants who are self-managed, and in some cases plan-managed, depending on the circumstances.

Support provided through the NDIS focuses on psychological capacity building, such as:

• understanding neurodivergence and identity
• emotional regulation and coping strategies
• executive functioning and daily life skills
• managing anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout
• communication and relationship skills
   

As a small independent practice, availability for NDIS clients is limited.

Services are offered where the participant’s goals align with the therapeutic approach and scope of the practice.

NDIS participants interested in therapy are welcome to submit a short enquiry, including brief information about:

• whether their plan is self-managed or plan-managed
• their goals for psychological support

This information is required to help determine whether the service is able to support you to meet your NDIS-approved goals and whether the requested support aligns with NDIS funding requirements. As per NDIS funding guidelines, NDIS funding can be used for capacity building towards goals, not therapy for conditions unrelated to your NDIS-related support needs. 

Straight Up Psychological Services does not genereally provide NDIS-funded assessment services, except where assessment of current functioning is required to inform progress reporting of ongoing clients.

Please note: private or Medicare-funded clients who later transition to the NDIS are welcome to discuss Straight Up Psychological Services' capacity for ongoing support under the NDIS. This discussion will include a review of your NDIS approved goals and support needs to ensure that these are aligned with Straight Up's capacity and training. Clients previously accepted undeer non-NDIS funded streams are not guaranteed on-going services under the NDIS.
