Psychosocial Recovery Coaches

These support items provide assistance for participants to build capacity and resilience through strong and respectful relationships to support people with psychosocial disability to live a full and contributing life. This support is designed to be able to maintain engagement through periods of increased support needs due to the episodic nature of mental illness. Recovery coaches work collaboratively with participants, families, carers and other services to identify, plan, design and coordinate NDIS supports. 

The work of psychosocial recovery coaches requires lived and/or learnt experience. Recovery coaches must have tertiary qualifications in peer work or mental health (minimum of Certificate IV in Mental Health Peer Work or Certificate IV in Mental Health) or equivalent training; and/or a minimum two years of experience in mental health-related work.

This support item can be delivered to individual participants subject to the rules set out in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.

As well as direct service provision, these support items can be used to claim for:

• Non-Face-to-Face Support Provision
• Provider Travel
• Short Notice Cancellations.
