NDIS Art Therapy Services
Creative Support Aligned with Your NDIS Goals
At Mindkshetra, we believe every NDIS participant deserves access to mental health support that honours their identity, story and unique way of expressing themselves. As an NDIS-registered provider, we offer NDIS Art Therapy—a trauma-informed and culturally responsive service for children, adolescents and adults living with disability.
Our sessions provide a safe and inclusive environment where art becomes a bridge between emotion and understanding. Every program is designed to align with your NDIS goals, plan outcomes and personal journey, supporting wellbeing in ways that feel authentic and meaningful.
How
NDIS Art Therapy Works
Our NDIS art therapy services are flexible, goal-focused and adapted to suit each participant’s therapeutic needs.
In a typical session, you may use painting, drawing, collage, clay, or sensory-based materials. Some sessions are guided by themes, while others are more free-flowing—always focusing on the process, not the product.
Sessions are:
- Adaptable for different developmental stages and support needs
- Led by qualified, trauma-informed and culturally aware art therapists
- Delivered in a calm studio setting or via online sessions
- Integrated with your existing NDIS plan and supports
We also collaborate with support coordinators, carers, case workers, and allied health professionals to ensure your therapy outcomes align with and complement your NDIS plan.
Who
We Support
Our NDIS Art Therapy services are suited for children (7+), adolescents, and adults living with a range of support needs, including:
- Autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent profiles – offering sensory-friendly and non-verbal approaches to self-expression.
- Psychosocial disabilities – such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or emotional dysregulation, with creative tools to manage stress and build resilience.
- Intellectual or developmental delays – supporting communication, cognitive engagement, and confidence through hands-on activities.
- CALD and intersectional participants – providing culturally safe, identity-affirming spaces where creativity becomes a universal language.
