With the recent introduction of the NDIA's PACE system, understanding how to endorse or record your NDIS providers is essential. By recording your providers as ‘my providers,’ you ensure smoother payments and give them access to the necessary parts of your plan. Whether you’re accessing plan management, support coordination, or behaviour support, knowing how to navigate these changes will simplify your NDIS experience. At Ivy Psychology, we’re here to help you through this transition. Reach out to us at admin@ivypsychology.com.au or call 0405 944 637 for any support you need.

The term “neurodiversity affirming” signals hope for neurodivergent individuals seeking support. At Ivy Psychology, we offer genuinely affirming care, respecting neurological differences and challenging the pathologising of natural human variation. We view neurodivergence as a valuable part of identity, focusing on accommodations and person-centred skill-building, rather than imposing neurotypical standards. Our goal is to walk alongside clients, affirming that different brains are inherently valuable, not broken.

This fact sheet explains when NDIS funding under support item 0104 – High Intensity Daily Personal Activities applies for behaviour support. It outlines the situations where participants require higher-level, specialised support due to behavioural or medical risks, why the hourly rate is higher, and how support coordinators can assist in securing appropriate funding. Ivy Psychology offers qualified, NDIS-registered behaviour support services to help participants and teams navigate these complex needs. Contact us today for tailored advice and assistance.

Navigating the NDIS can feel overwhelming—with complex forms, unfamiliar language, and big decisions to make. That is where a disability advocate can help. Advocates are independent professionals who stand beside people with disability to ensure their voices are heard, their rights are protected, and they are treated fairly—especially when navigating NDIS processes, reviews, or concerns. Whether you are unsure about your plan or need support in meetings, an advocate can make all the difference.
