The mental health of people with disabilities is as much of a priority as their physical health, not to mention the fact that there are those suffering from specific psychosocial

Taking care of people with disabilities is a job that requires immense patience and

help people with disabilities to live independently and build their capacity to take care of
themselves and become active members of their community.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded social reform
that changed the face of disability care in Australia forever. However, getting access to the
scheme for people with severe mental health problems has always been a tough battle.
