Psychosocial recovery coaching providers in Australia

Living with a psychosocial disability can feel like an uphill battle. Working out the NDIS, coordinating supports, and managing day-to-day life can be exhausting. You might feel stuck, misunderstood, or like you’ve lost control over your own recovery journey. It’s a heavy weight to carry alone.

Carevo lists more than 7,072 allied health and mental health providers, including practitioners who focus on psychosocial recovery.

Through Carevo, you can connect with Psychosocial Recovery Coaches who are here to walk alongside you. Many have their own lived experience of mental health challenges, and their job is to help you get back in the driver’s seat of your life.

Who Psychosocial Recovery Coaching Supports in Australia

Recovery coaches through Carevo work with a wide range of people in Australia, including:

• People living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression or anxiety.

Support and Partnership

Are you worried about:

• Not being heard or understood? The fear that your goals and experiences will be dismissed.
• Working out the NDIS system? The stress of trying to make your plan work for your mental health needs.
• Finding the right services? The overwhelming task of connecting with mental health, housing, or community supports that actually help.
• Losing hope for your recovery? The feeling that things will never change or get better.

Recovery coaches solve these worries by building a strong, trusting relationship focused on your strengths and your vision for a better life.


How a Recovery Coach Supports You

A Psychosocial Recovery Coach is different from a Support Coordinator. The main focus is to help you build your own skills and capacity to handle life’s challenges. A recovery coach is your coach, not just a coordinator.

Practical, Hands-On Support for Your Recovery

• Building Your Resilience: Recovery coaches through Carevo help you develop strong, trusting relationships and coping skills to better manage the challenges of day-to-day life.
• Creating a Recovery Plan: Coaches work with you, your family, and your other supports to design a clear, actionable plan that puts your goals first.
• Understanding the NDIS: Recovery coaches through Carevo help you understand your NDIS plan, make sure you’re getting the most out of it, and prepare for plan reviews.
• Connecting with the Right Supports: Coaches support you to connect with the services you need, whether it’s clinical mental health services, housing support, or community groups in Australia.
• Crisis & Incident Management: Coaches can work with you to create a plan for what to do in a crisis, so you feel more prepared and in control.

Why People in Australia Choose Recovery Coaches Through Carevo

Choosing a coach is a deeply personal decision. Trust is earned through experience, values, and commitment to your recovery.

Lived Experience Matters

Many recovery coaches have their own personal experience with mental health challenges. They’ve been there. This allows them to connect with you on a deeper level, with genuine empathy and without judgment.

A Focus on Your Strengths

Recovery coaches don’t see you as a diagnosis or a list of problems. They see your strengths, your potential, and your capacity for recovery. The whole approach is built on helping you recognise and build on the skills you already have.

Your Ally

Recovery coaches are here to be in your corner. They will advocate for you, help you communicate your needs, and support you to build a life beyond your disability.

Making Funding Simple

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching is a specific, funded item in your NDIS plan.

• Funded by NDIS: This support is funded under your Capacity Building budget. It’s a recognised and valued part of the NDIS for people with a psychosocial disability.
• No Out-of-Pocket Costs: You pay no out-of-pocket costs while you have sufficient funding in your plan and use a registered provider charging within the NDIS price limit. Registered providers must charge at or below the price limit and cannot add gap fees or surcharges. Out-of-pocket costs can arise if your funding runs out, or if you are self-managed or plan-managed and use an unregistered provider who charges above the limit, since a plan manager cannot pay above it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a Recovery Coach and a Support Coordinator? A Support Coordinator helps you connect with and coordinate your NDIS supports. A Recovery Coach does this too, but with a deeper focus on your mental health recovery. Recovery coaches through Carevo help you build the skills and resilience to manage your own journey, drawing on their clinical knowledge and lived experience.

How do I get a Recovery Coach in my NDIS plan? You can request funding for a Recovery Coach at your NDIS planning meeting or plan review. Talk about your mental health challenges and your goal to build your capacity for recovery.

How do I know if a coach is the right fit for me? Recovery coaches through Carevo offer a free, no-obligation “meet and greet”. This is your chance to chat with a potential coach, ask questions, and see if you feel a connection. Your comfort and trust are the most important things.
