reimagine.today is co-designed with people living with mental health conditions including psychosocial disability. Many of the people involved in reimagine.today have lived experience of the NDIS. They have used their experience to help you better understand the NDIS and the opportunities for people living with psychosocial disability.
If you have more questions about the NDIS and psychosocial disability that this resource does not answer please contact the National Disability Insurance Agency: 1800 800 110.
If you have feedback about the reimagine.today resource please contact the Mental Health Coordinating Council: reimagine@mhcc.org.au
Your feedback helps us to improve the reimagine.today resource, not the NDIS.
The experiences of people with mental health conditions are unique and their needs for both health and disability services and supports are constantly changing. The National Disability Insurance Agency is working hard to make sure the NDIS meets the needs of people living with a psychosocial disability and will continue to evaluate the NDIS from a mental health perspective.
The National Mental Health Commission’s ‘2016 National Report on Mental Health and Suicide Prevention’ (2017) says that the NDIS is important. They also note concerns about the NDIS for people with health conditions, including:
These and other NDIS challenges are not the focus of this website. This is because the NDIS is still in its early stages. reimagine.today has been developed to help people access the NDIS.
The learning arising from the NDIS will continue for years and the National Disability Insurance Agency and others will work with you to refine the NDIS based on people’s experience and feedback. This includes consideration of people’s support needs, outcomes and satisfaction.
As you explore the 6 steps to accessing the NDIS, you will be guided to activities in the Reimagine Your Life Workbook, where you can complete questions and activities to support your application.
