What is peer support?
Peer support connects a person with disability to someone who has been through something similar. It is delivered by peer workers and mentors with their own lived experience, one to one or in groups, and it builds confidence, skills and connection in a way that clinical services often cannot. For many participants in Australian Capital Territory, hearing “I have been there too” from someone who genuinely has is what turns advice into action, whether that is navigating a new diagnosis, building independence, or finding a community that gets it.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Peer support suits NDIS participants who want practical, relatable support from people with shared experience, and it is especially valuable for people with psychosocial disability. Under the NDIS it is usually funded through Capacity Building, in the Increased Social and Community Participation budget, and sometimes through Core Supports for group-based activities (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27). Because it builds a participant’s own capacity and networks, peer support is often one of the higher-value uses of a plan. Peer support also sits alongside psychosocial recovery coaching, which is a separate, more structured NDIS support.
What peer support includes
- One-to-one peer mentoring from a worker with lived experience of a similar disability or situation.
- Peer-led groups, in person and online, that reduce isolation and share practical know-how.
- Support to build confidence and self-advocacy, from speaking up at a planning meeting to trying something new.
- Warm connection into the wider community and other supports, so a participant is not navigating alone.
Finding peer support in Australian Capital Territory
The right peer support depends on fit. It helps to ask a provider in Australian Capital Territory whether their peer workers have lived experience relevant to your situation, whether they offer one-to-one, groups or both, and how they help you use the connection to reach your own goals. Peer support works best when it is matched to who you are, not just what is available, so it is worth taking the time to find a group or mentor that feels right.
Questions to ask a peer support provider
- Do your peer workers have relevant lived experience? This is the core of what makes peer support work.
- Do you offer one-to-one, groups, or both? Match this to how you like to connect.
- How do you support my goals? A good answer links the connection to your NDIS plan goals.
- Is support available online as well as in person? Useful for consistency and access.
- How is this billed against my plan? Confirm Capacity Building or Core, so it fits your funding.
