NDIS Providers Brisbane?
In Brisbane, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides services tailored to the individual needs of people with disabilities. It is a priority of the NDIS that each participant receives proper care and support for their health and well-being. More than that, the scheme also wants to give the participant freedom to fully control the planning and delivery of the support they need. This ensures that the choices made for their plan are directly in line with their personal goals and preferences.
This system offers individualised packages of support which aims to do three things:
1. To provide easier access to mainstream services such as health, housing, and education.
2. To allow engagement in community services like sports clubs and libraries.
3. To help in maintaining the participant’s informal supports such as family and friends. The individualised packages can provide funding for the following needs:
Daily personal activities including household tasks
Transport for community, social, economic activities
Workplace assistance to keep participant’s employment in the open or supported labour market
Therapeutic and behaviour support
Home modifications including design and construction
Assistance in arranging aids or equipment assessment, set up and training
Mobility equipment
Vehicle modifications
The services cover multiple aspects of the participant’s life, helping them maintain their home and work lives. These services give importance to the participant’s mental and physical improvement, as well as services that encourage engagement with the community.

Accommodations and Services
The NDIS is geared towards improving all aspects of the participant’s life. They work with Positive Moods to provide services such as therapeutic support and behaviour support; These services are aimed at helping the participant gain a more positive outlook on life by aiding their personal growth and guiding them towards the realisation of their goals.
Under therapeutic support, there are expert psychologists and professional counsellors who are committed to helping the client resolve the mental difficulties they are dealing with. Each session is customised to better accommodate the specific needs and goals of the client.
Therapeutic Support can come in the form of individual counselling, group counselling, group therapy and community engagement assistance.
For individual counselling, a Positive Moods psychologist or counsellor will work one-on-one with a client. This helps the client gain deeper understanding of themselves, particularly their thoughts and emotions.
For group counselling, participants are grouped into three and are facilitated by a Positive Moods psychologist. There will be peer discussion sessions where the clients are given a safe platform for sharing their thoughts and experiences. This provides great opportunities for each person to learn through other people while building strong bonds with them. Group counselling can improve the client’s teamwork and communication skills while encouraging them to take part in community and social activities and employment.
Under group therapy, professionals from Positive Moods and other NDIS providers work together to address the needs of an individual client within a single session. Here, the client can receive help from the likes of Art Therapists, Rehabilitation Counsellors, Social Workers or Occupational Therapists depending on the specific supports they need.
We have Community Engagement Assistance which are group sessions between several NDIS participants. The objective of this programme is to improve the client’s interaction with the community and their social networks.
There are several types of “Behaviour” plans available. Positive Moods offers:
Behaviour Support to help children and adults form a more positive way of thinking and behaving. Under this service is the Specialist
Behaviour Intervention Support; psychologists provide highly specialised and intensive support interventions to address harmful behaviours of the clients.
The Behaviour Management Plan sees the psychologists collaborate with the client’s caretaker and stakeholder to customise a behaviour support plan.
The Training in Behaviour Management serves as a complement to the Behaviour Management Plan. Positive Moods psychologists run sessions for other stakeholders on the behaviour management strategies to answer to the client’s disability.
NDIS Providers in Brisbane, along with the team at Positive Moods are companies who truly have the heart for service. With their expertise in counselling and broad knowledge on methods of support, they can provide the necessities for people with a disability that will help them live life to the fullest.
