Psychological Disability

According to The Conversation, there are approximately 63,010 NDIS participants with psychosocial disability, accounting for around 10% of all participants. Majority of these individuals are older, with 83% being over 35 years old, compared to 32% of other NDIS participants. It is important to note that participants with psychosocial disability experience lower employment rates, with only 11% employed compared to 23% of other participants aged 15 to 64. They also face lower levels of social and community engagement compared to other participants.
