NDIS funding is designed to support people with permanent disabilities that impact their ability to live independently. While addiction alone is not classified as a disability, individuals with co-occurring psychosocial disabilities or mental health conditions may be eligible for support that aids in their addiction recovery.
If addiction is affecting your ability to function, maintain employment, or engage in daily activities, you may be able to apply for rehab funding adjustments to include recovery-focused supports in your plan. The Hader Clinic can help you explore your options and work with your NDIS planner or support coordinator to ensure your holistic care plan aligns with your needs. All funding needs to be pre-approved by an NDIS funding manager.
If your plan doesn’t currently include addiction-related support, we can help you request a reassessment and gather the right documentation to strengthen your case.
We’ll call it when it suits you, with no pressure to commit
NDIS funding may assist individuals whose addiction is linked to a psychosocial disability or dual diagnosis. This support can fund therapy, daily recovery supports, and coordination of care. If you already have a plan, we can guide you through including our holistic addiction treatment in your supports.
