Common challenges people may experience
- Flashbacks, nightmares and hypervigilance
- Avoidance of triggers, places or people
- Sleep and emotional regulation
- Maintaining work, study and relationships
- Co-occurring depression or substance use
How the NDIS may support people with PTSD
Where PTSD causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.
