Does the NDIS cover all mental health treatments?
The NDIS does not fund purely clinical or acute mental health treatments (e.g., diagnoses, medications covered by Medicare/PBS). It does fund psychosocial disability supports aimed at building skills for daily life, routines, and community participation when mental health significantly impacts function
What happens to services that get defunded (e.g., music or art therapy)?
Some supports, such as music therapy, have had funding restrictions under the NDIS. These services are only fully funded if they clearly help maintain or improve functional capacity. To help you plan better, GHCA will provide a pricing guide, so you understand what is covered and at what rate—ensuring you can make informed choices about the support you access.
