Psychosocial Recovery
Joining the NDIS: People whose fragile mental health has turned into a long-term condition may qualify for the NDIS. However, it can be challenging to assess whether someone with a psychosocial disability is eligible for NDIS support. This is because mental illness can fluctuate in intensity. Many people with psychosocial disability have times where they function relatively well. At other times just getting out of bed can be a struggle. For the NDIS, psychosocial disability is not about a diagnosis, it is about the functional impact and barriers that someone living with a mental health condition is facing.
"Recovery is about achieving an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by each individual, whilst living with or recovering from mental health issues." - NDIS

Service Delivery Options
Each service provided by ROS has multiple means of implementation, and we like to stay flex able with how we engage with our clients. That said, face-to-face is always preferred with all our therapeutic services.
Telehealth / Video
Sessions via video (i.e. Skype, Zoom ) or Telephone in the comfort of your own home. These types of appointments are sometimes necessary and always better than non-attendance!
Mobile
All our recovery services save for set group activities can come to you. We do charge for travel but stick within the strict guidelines of the NDIS. This is recommended always in all therapeutic options.
In Clinic
If you don't feel comfortable at home or with the video we are happy to meet at an alternative location or book a space close to your home.
