Recovery is personal, not a fixed checklist.
The NDIS describes recovery coaches as workers who support people with psychosocial disability to live a full and contributing life. Coaching can build on strengths, resilience, knowledge and skills while helping you connect with NDIS, community, mainstream and mental health services.
A recovery coach does not make decisions for you. The relationship should support informed choice and help you stay engaged with supports, including during times when you need more help.
Learn more from the NDIS guide to psychosocial recovery coaches.
Support grounded in everyday life.

Choosing a recovery coach.
The right fit matters. Ask about experience, qualifications, approach and whether lived experience is important to you.
Do I need recovery coaching in my NDIS plan?
Your plan must include funding that can be used for psychosocial recovery coaching. Check your plan or speak with your my NDIS contact.
Is a recovery coach a therapist?
No. Recovery coaching is an NDIS support, not clinical treatment. A coach can help you connect with mental health and mainstream services when those are part of your support network.
Can my supports be involved?
Yes. You decide who is involved. With your consent, a coach can work with family, nominees and other providers to improve communication and continuity.
What if I need urgent help?
Recovery coaching is not an emergency service. If there is immediate danger, call 000. For crisis support, contact an appropriate crisis or mental health service.
