Does NDIS Cover Recovery Coaching?
Feeling overwhelmed by your disability?
Maybe anxiety or depression is holding you back, or you're struggling to manage daily tasks.
To tell you? You're not alone.
And to help you, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a range of supports to help you get back on track and live a fulfilling life. One option you might be curious about is NDIS recovery coaching.
Think of having a personal NDIS recovery coach as your comeback friend.
They're qualified professionals who work with you one-on-one to build a personalised plan for your goals to be reached. They are your cheerleader, strategist, and confidante. Their goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence that need to manage your disability and thrive. Here's what they can do:
Crack the disability code: Your coach can provide information and resources to help you better understand your specific condition.
Goal setting made easy: Together, you'll set realistic and achievable goals that align with your NDIS plan, keeping you motivated and moving forward.
Stress-busting strategies: They'll equip you with tools and techniques to manage stress, anxiety, or other challenges you might face.
Level up your independence: The ultimate goal is to empower you with the confidence and skills to live as independently as possible.
Building your support crew: Your coach can help you connect with other support services and resources in your community.
But the big question: Does NDIS cover recovery coaching?
YES! But under certain circumstances.
Recovery coaching typically falls under the category of psychosocial support. To be eligible, your NDIS plan needs to identify a need for this type of support. This include things like:
- Mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.
- Difficulty managing daily tasks due to your disability.
- Challenges with social interaction and communication.

If you think recovery coaching could benefit you, the first step is to talk to your NDIS planner. They can help you determine if your plan allows for recovery coaching services and connect you with qualified providers in your area.
