NDIS

Under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), funding is given directly to the person who needs support rather than the organisation that provides the support. YOU choose the services and the service providers you would like to engage with - this is called choice and control.

Once your NDIS plan has been approved and if you are self-managed or plan-managed, our therapists will be able to provide one-on-one therapy sessions or group sessions to assist in mental health and support services under the capacity building price line. Our support workers are also available for booking under several price lines.

NDIS recognise social workers as professionals who can provide therapy supports to participants, provided they are a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers. Social Workers can design, implement and assess the effectiveness of therapy supports, which may include assessing and evaluating an individual’s functional capacity.

In particular, Phoenix Wings Wellness promotes working with participants with goals around:

  • Support them to manage their emotions  so they can develop independence, complete routines independently, and be able to be employed/study successfully. This includes continuing to improve abilities to be aware of and understand thought processes, to transition more easily between changes in environment, learn and practice task and time management skills, and learn the ability  to moderate emotional responses. 

  • Discover how neurodivergent identity intersects with other aspects of their life, relationships, and other identities. 

  • Explore and embrace their real self, unmasking and being able to be more authentic, finding joy in their genuine interests, movements and ways of being.

  • Delve into sensory profiling to understand how sensory input affects them, and develop strategies for regulations and comfort. 

  • Acknowledge and heal from trauma linked to unsupported neurodivergency and chronic invalidation.

  • Cultivate the skills to voice their needs, set clear boundaries, and seek accommodations. 

  • Work to recognise and dismantle ableist attitudes they have absorbed, embracing a positive self-view.

  • Support their learning and practicing of problem solving to gain greater independence through reducing the  impact of their disability on her life.

  • Learn how to manage discrimination and ableism, and barriers to work and education.

  • Adapting to life transitions and managing big emotions, in particular those readjusting to an acquired disability.
