This service focuses on functional improvement, psychosocial support, and skill development in line with each participant’s unique NDIS plan and needs.

Rehabilitation Counselling Process
The process kicks off with a detailed discussion to understand the participant’s needs, personal history, and current challenges. This allows the rehabilitation counsellor to identify areas where support is needed to help achieve personal and vocational goals.
Intake Assessment and Goal Setting
The counsellor carries out assessments to gauge the participant’s strengths, limitations, and aspirations. During this stage, the focus is on pinpointing areas for growth, setting clear and achievable goals, and creating a personalised rehabilitation plan tailored to the participant’s needs.
Intervention Planning and Skill Development
A tailored rehabilitation plan is designed, targeting specific skills and strategies to address the participant’s challenges. This might involve developing vocational skills, learning coping mechanisms, improving emotional regulation, or enhancing social skills — all with the aim of boosting overall functioning and independence.
Ongoing Support and Review
Regular sessions are held to track progress and make adjustments to the goals as necessary. The rehabilitation consultant provides ongoing support to ensure the rehabilitation plan adapts to the participant’s evolving needs and circumstances.
