🧠 ADHD Assistance Through NDIS – Support for a More Independent Life
Living with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) can present unique daily challenges – from managing routines to maintaining focus and regulating emotions. The good news is that the

💡 Is ADHD Covered Under the NDIS?

Yes – ADHD can be considered a psycho-social or neurological disability under the NDIS if it significantly affects a person’s daily functioning. Individuals may be eligible for NDIS support if ADHD impacts areas like communication, learning, social interaction, or self-management.

Eligibility depends on how much the condition affects your ability to function long-term – and a comprehensive report from a medical or allied health professional (such as a psychologist, paediatrician, or occupational therapist) is usually required.

How the NDIS Can Support People with ADHD

NDIS funding can be used to access a wide range of services and supports tailored to help manage ADHD more effectively. These include:

  • 🧑‍⚕️ Allied Health Therapies – Including occupational therapy, psychology, and behaviour support
  • 📚 Skill Development – Training in time management, emotional regulation, memory strategies, and organisational skills
  • 🤝 Social Support – Helping with social interaction and building relationships
  • 💻 Assistive Technology – Apps, planners, and tools to help with attention and task management
  • 🧑‍🏫 Support Workers – Assistance with daily routines, appointments, or educational engagement
