  • What are the eligibility criteria for psychosocial disability?
  • What do I do if I am on the NDIS for a different disability, but I want to add psychosocial disability as an access met diagnosis?
  • What can I be funded for with a psychosocial disability?
  • Does health still play a role as part of my support?
  • What is a psychosocial recovery coach?
