MENTAL ILLNESS IN AUSTRALIA

Mental illnesses encompass a wide range of conditions, some of which can be quite severe and cause significant dysfunction, while others may present with minor symptoms. More commonly known mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or phobias are included in the term Mental Illness, as are less commonly known conditions such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, dissociative identity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, Tourette’s Syndrome, or PTSD.

SupportNest Disability Services is well-equipped to help patients with Mental Illness manage their symptoms and function optimally from day to day.

Mental Illness Disorders are among the most neglected health issues in Australia, and with the assistance of NDIS funding, we are attempting to shed light on this frequently stigmatised condition. Our mental illness specialists are highly skilled and trained to provide the expert assistance you need to live your life to the fullest if you are affected by a chronic or disabling mental illness.

When it comes to mental illness care, we stand out due to our extensive experience, capacity for 24/7 support, and strong community spirit. Our prevailing family values and friendly specialists provide you and your loved ones with peace of mind and unmatched support for other medical conditions, including motor neurone disease,multiple sclerosis, mental illness care, heart conditions, dementia care, and arthritis care, allowing you to live a happy, fulfilling, and independent life.

Is Mental Health Care covered by the NDIS?

If you have a long-term disability caused by a mental health condition, known as a psychosocial disability or PSD, it is covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and you may be eligible for funding to use our support services.

It is estimated that 3 million Australians suffer from mild to moderate mental health issues, while 700,000 have severe and persistent mental illness disorder with complex needs and thus require assistance due to their disability.
Psychosocial disabilities can be debilitating if not properly addressed. SupportNest Disability Services can guide you through the evaluation process to determine your eligibility for NDIS Mental Illness benefits. If you or a loved one meet the criteria, we can facilitate the application process and provide any necessary support services.
To participate in the NDIS, you must provide proof of a mental health condition, but a specific diagnosis is not required. Support from the NDIS is contingent on how the condition affects you and your daily activities, rather than the diagnosis itself; our Mental Illness Specialists can assist you with this.
