Frequently Asked Questions

According to the NDIS, to be eligible for NDIS funding, a participant’s disease or medical condition must cause permanent impairment (physical, intellectual, cognitive, neurological, visual, hearing or psychosocial) resulting in significant disability. A permanent disability means your disability is likely to be lifelong. A significant disability has a substantial impact on your ability to complete everyday activities.

The types of supports that the NDIS may fund for participants include:

  • daily personal activities.
  • transport to enable participation in community, social, economic, and daily life activities.
  • workplace help to allow a participant to successfully obtain or maintain employment in the open or supported labour market.
  • therapeutic supports including behaviour support.
  • help with household tasks to allow the participant to maintain their home environment.
  • help to a participant by skilled personnel in aids or equipment assessment, set up and training.
  • home modification design and construction.
  • mobility equipment.
  • vehicle modifications.

Funding for a participant plan is based on what is ‘reasonable’ and ‘necessary’ to pursue goals, in addition to the support provided by family, friends, and other community and government services. Altius Group delivers therapies under capacity building, that are directly related to the participant’s disability.

A Mental Health Care Plan can be initiated with your GP to access a referral for a psychologist. This allows individuals to access psychological support for any presenting concern, unrelated to a disability, your NDIS plan or NDIS goals, and unrelated to the impact a disability may have on daily life. 

Accessing Psychology within your capacity building funding of your NDIS plan is for the purpose of accessing psychological support for: 

  • Your NDIS goals.
  • Your disability, including any direct impact your disability has on your life.
  • Increasing independence in various areas including in various activities, in socialisation, and in community engagement.
  • Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA) are used to conduct a thorough assessment to determine the impact of a disability across various activities of daily living. It includes psychometric testing, an interview, observations, review of medical information, and consideration of any other valuable information to provide clinical input by an occupational therapist or psychologist. The FCA can be used to provide further information for plan reviews and change of circumstances. The report considers a holistic approach, with consideration given to multi-disciplinary and formal supports required.
  • An Initial Needs Assessment (carried out by an occupational therapist or psychologist) obtains relevant information to create an individually tailored treatment plan. This is ideal if the main purpose for accessing support is to obtain ongoing services by an allied health provider.
  • There are many other assessments available including Home and Living Needs Assessments, Assistive Technology Reviews, Sensory Processing Assessments, Home Modification Assessments and Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) Assessments, to name a few. You can discuss which assessment is best for your needs with our team.
