CATA is an accredited disability service provider under the NDIS

NDIS

What is NDIS?

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is an Australia-wide initiative that provides funding for people with physical and psychosocial disabilities to access supports to maintain and improve their quality of life.

It is underpinned by the concept of choice and control for participants and their families.

Creative Arts Therapy is listed as an Allied Health intervention in the Provider Registration Therapeutic Supports and recognised by the Quality and Safeguards Commission.

 

SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE NDIS

Registration groups available through CATA are:

  • Therapeutic Supports – Improved Daily Living

As an Allied Health provider, CATA works with psychological and physical well-being with a creative, person-centred, and holistic approach.  Counselling and psychotherapy assists participants and carers with understanding and managing situations, behaviours, and relationships associated with their need for care and mental health. 

CATA supports people in achieving their goals in a safe and relaxed space to explore thoughts and feelings in visual form without judgment or interpretation. 

No artistic skills are required!

Creative Arts Therapy is not about being a ‘great artist; it’s about the process, relief, and meaning it can bring.

CATA provides one-on-one or group sessions with qualified and registered Creative Arts Therapists who uphold the values of a person-centred and holistic approach. 

CATA can deliver sessions at our Fairfield location, at the participant’s home/residence, or online. 

For more information, please get in touch with us at info@cata.org.au.

I’m ready to sign up…How do I use my NDIS funds for Creative Art Therapy?

NDIS can be tricky to navigate; CATA has a dedicated NDIS coordinator ready to assist you in navigating the registration process. Give us a Call.

When you attend your planning meeting with your designated NDIA planner, you will need to discuss your individual goals. The planner will then work with you to identify supports and services that can assist you in meeting those goals.
