Find NDIS Psychologists
Many NDIS participants and families struggle to connect with the right psychologist, mainly because so many providers have long waitlists, limited availability, or are not the right fit for their specific needs.
The process can feel overwhelming, especially when support is needed urgently.
MyCareSpace removes the stress of finding the right provider by doing the leg work for you.
Our Connections Team works Australia wide to connect NDIS participants, families and support coordinators with verified psychologists who have appointments available now or with short wait times.
We Help You Find NDIS Psychology Services With Availability
MyCareSpace is a national NDIS connection service. We are not a therapy provider, which means we can search across multiple psychology clinics, child psychologists, and independent practitioners to find the best match for each participant.
Whether you’re looking for a psychologist for yourself or a qualified child psychologist for your child, and prefer in-clinic sessions, community-based support or telehealth, our team checks availability before making a connection.
We support participants across metropolitan and regional Australia, helping children, families and adults access psychology and child psychology services without unnecessary delays.

Why Finding the Right NDIS Psychologist Matters
Psychological support can be life-changing for NDIS participants, particularly when mental health, emotional regulation or psychosocial disability impacts everyday life. For children, early support from the right child psychologist can make a significant difference in development, behaviour and wellbeing.
The right psychologist or child psychologist offers more than counselling. They provide evidence-based strategies tailored to the participant’s goals, communication style, lived experience and environment.
Finding a provider with the right expertise and approach matters. Whether support is focused on anxiety, trauma, behaviour, confidence or community participation, outcomes are stronger when the participant feels understood, safe and supported. This is especially important when connecting a child with a psychologist who understands developmental needs and family dynamics.
This is where MyCareSpace helps. Our Connections Team understands the NDIS and the range of psychology and child psychology services available across Australia. We take the time to match participants with verified psychologists and child psychologists who align with their needs, preferences and location, and who have confirmed availability.
By making the process simpler and more personalised, we help participants and families start the right support sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
A psychologist works alongside the participant to understand their goals, provide evidence-based strategies, and support areas such as anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, behaviour, confidence and social connection.
A general psychologist holds a minimum four-year degree plus supervised practice. A clinical psychologist has completed additional postgraduate training (typically a masters or doctorate in clinical psychology) and is endorsed by the Psychology Board of Australia. Clinical psychologists may charge at a higher NDIS rate due to their advanced training.
Both can provide therapy, assessments and reports for NDIS participants. The right choice depends on the participant's needs, goals and plan funding.
Our Connections Team learns about the participant’s needs, preferred location and therapy goals, then searches across our network of verified psychologists Australia wide. We confirm appointment availability before connecting you, so you can access support sooner.
