If you have lived experienced of the mental health system and want to gain access to – or are a participant in – the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), we’ve found a great resource for you!
Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) has released a toolkit designed to provide you with the information, skills and support to advocate for what you want under the NDIS – starting at pre-access.
The toolkit was co-designed by people with experience of using the mental health system and navigating the NDIS.
IMHA supports people across Victoria who are receiving – or are at risk of receiving – compulsory mental health treatment to make decisions and have as much say as possible about their assessment, treatment and recovery.
The organisation’s toolkit – which is accessible nationally – includes information and worksheets to help you know your rights and speak up for yourself, whether you’re applying for the NDIS or have already been accepted.
