Australians experiencing severe mental health issues will be better catered to, as a result of changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

 

NDIS social services minister, Paul Fletcher, says among the changes will be better linking of mental health services and the authority who runs the NDIS; this is aimed to benefit around 64,000 Australians with psycho-social disabilities.

 

Mr. Fletcher says we need to make sure those who are eligible for coverage within the scheme are given the support they need.
