Living with anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming, especially for adults with disabilities who may face additional challenges in daily life. The good news is that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides vital mental health support, helping participants access the right services, therapies, and resources to improve wellbeing. At Bharosa Community Services, we are committed to walking alongside you on this journey, offering personalised care and support every step of the way.
How the NDIS Supports Anxiety and Depression
The NDIS recognises that mental health is just as important as physical health. For participants experiencing anxiety or depression, the scheme can provide:
Therapy and Counselling
Access to professional therapy sessions that help participants develop coping strategies, build resilience, and manage symptoms effectively.
Support Groups and Community Participation
Opportunities to connect with others, reduce isolation, and build confidence through peer support and community engagement.
Daily Living Assistance
Practical support with daily routines, ensuring participants can focus on their wellbeing without being overwhelmed by everyday tasks.
Financial Assistance
Funding for therapies, assistive technology, and ongoing supports to remove barriers to care and recovery.

Tips for Managing Anxiety and Depression in Daily Life
While professional support is essential, small daily practices can also make a big difference:
- Pace yourself: Recovery is a journey, not a race. Take breaks and celebrate small wins.
- Stay connected: Talk to friends, family, or trusted support workers. Sharing your feelings can ease the burden.
- Practice self‑care: Engage in hobbies, enjoy nature, or treat yourself to something uplifting.
- Build routines: Structure can provide stability and reduce stress.
