A Psychosocial Recovery Coach supports individuals with a psychosocial disability to take more control of their lives and to manage the complex challenges of daily living. They help individuals recognise, reflect on, and take responsibility for their own recovery.
By providing both practical assistance and emotional support, NDIS Recovery Coaches empower participants to build resilience and achieve their personal goals. They work collaboratively with individuals, their families, carers, and other services to design and implement a recovery plan, and help coordinate other NDIS supports.
A Support Coordinator’s main focus is capacity building and working with an individual to maximise the benefits of their NDIS plan. A Psychosocial Recovery Coach is specifically designed for individuals with a primary diagnosis of psychosocial disability. Recovery coaches offer a more hands-on approach, utilising their specific knowledge of mental health services to ensure individuals receive the best support to reach their goals.
If you are eligible for support from a Psychosocial Recovery Coach, this will be included in your NDIS plan under the category of "Capacity Building Supports." Specifically, you will find it under the "Improved Daily Living" budget. This allocation is designed to enhance your ability to manage your life, increase your independence, and achieve your goals through tailored support and coaching.
