Move to boost psychosocial disability support

After the federal government announced a shakeup of the support system for autistic kids, it’s now turning its attention to psychosocial disabilities.

That’s a disability arising from a mental health condition.

Mental health advocates hope it’ll lead to much needed support for the half a million Australians who don’t qualify for the NDIS.

But they’re calling for more transparency and co-design.
