Psychosocial Recovery Coaching
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching (PRC) is a specialised support service for NDIS participants with psychosocial disability. A PRC works with participants to build skills, increase independence, and take greater control over their daily lives. This includes practical support, goal-setting, and strategies to manage challenges, all delivered in a person-centred way. PRCs collaborate with participants, their families, and other support providers to create tailored recovery plans that focus on achieving meaningful outcomes.
What Sets Our PRC Coaches Apart?:
Our Recovery Coaches bring extensive experience supporting participants with mental health challenges, particularly those with complex needs. Many have spent 5+ years working as Allied Health Assistants (AHAs), gaining valuable hands-on experience and insight into participant needs. This experience informs their work as Recovery Coaches, enabling them to provide practical, goal-focused, and empowering support.
Important: Psychosocial Recovery Coaches operate in a dedicated role separate from their AHA work, with separate billing and service structures to ensure clarity and transparency for participants and funding.
Checking Eligibility and Funding for Psychosocial Recovery Coaching:
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching (PRC) is generally available for NDIS participants with psychosocial support needs, particularly those who would benefit from practical, goal-focused assistance to increase independence, manage daily challenges, and work toward their recovery goals.
To check if a participant has funding for PRC:
Review the NDIS plan – Look for sections related to psychosocial supports, capacity building, to see if PRC is included.
Speak with the NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) – confirm whether PRC hours are included in the plan or can be added.
Consult the Plan Manager – on which funds can be allocated to PRC and assist further to confirm hours available in an existing plan.
Getting Started:
Participants with existing funding available to work with a psychosocial recovery coach can arrange a 30-minute introductory session to learn more about Psychosocial Recovery Coaching and meet their PRC Coach. These sessions are:
Informal and relaxed, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions and explore the service
Billed as a session, separate from other services
This can booked face-to-face or via Telehealth services
This session allows participants to experience the support, understand how it works, and decide if it’s the right fit before committing to ongoing coaching.
