Frequently Asked Questions

Based on 571 accepted enquiries on Carevo in Brisbane City, providers accept enquiry details with a median of 4 minutes. 69% of enquiries in Brisbane City have enquiry details accepted within 1 hour, and 83% within 24 hours. This covers every service in Brisbane City, so it differs from the psychosocial recovery coaches figure below.

How quickly are psychosocial recovery coaches enquiries responded to?

Across 34 psychosocial recovery coaches accepted enquiries on Carevo, the median enquiry acceptance time is 16 minutes. 76% of psychosocial recovery coaches enquiries nationally have enquiry details accepted within 1 hour, and 94% within 24 hours. This is the national figure for one service, so it differs from any Brisbane City figure above, which covers every service in the suburb.

How many psychosocial recovery coaching providers are there in Brisbane City?

There are currently 43 psychosocial recovery coaching providers serving Brisbane City listed on Carevo. These include NDIS registered mental health organisations, community-based providers, and specialist recovery coaching services.

How much does psychosocial recovery coaching cost in Brisbane City?

Psychosocial recovery coaching rates in Brisbane City typically range from $105.43-$234.23/hour (NDIS price guide 2026-27) per hour. Rates are set within NDIS Pricing Arrangements limits. The specific rate depends on the coach's qualifications and the intensity of support provided.

What is the difference between a recovery coach and a support coordinator?

A support coordinator helps you understand and implement your NDIS plan by navigating service systems and arranging providers. A recovery coach works alongside you on your personal recovery journey, focused on building capacity, setting goals, and supporting you through challenges. Some participants have both in their NDIS plan.

What is the difference between a recovery coach and a psychologist?

A psychologist provides clinical mental health treatment such as CBT or trauma therapy. A recovery coach does not provide clinical treatment. Their role is to support your recovery goals, build your capacity, and help you connect with the right services. Recovery coaching complements clinical care but does not replace it.

What qualifications does a psychosocial recovery coach need?

The NDIS recognises two pathways into recovery coaching. One is through formal qualifications in mental health, social work, or a related field. The other recognises lived experience of mental health recovery, with some training. Providers must ensure coaches are appropriately experienced and supervised. Ask your provider about their coaches' backgrounds.

How often will I meet with my recovery coach?

Session frequency is flexible and based on your needs and available funding. Many participants meet with their coach weekly or fortnightly. During periods of greater difficulty, more frequent contact may be useful. Your coach will work with you to find a rhythm that supports your recovery without creating dependency.

Can I get recovery coaching if I do not have a mental health diagnosis?

Recovery coaching is intended for NDIS participants with a psychosocial disability. A formal diagnosis is not always required for NDIS access, but there must be evidence that your mental health condition has a substantial and permanent functional impact. Speak with your GP or LAC about NDIS eligibility if you are unsure.

How do I get psychosocial recovery coaching added to my NDIS plan?

If recovery coaching is not in your current plan, raise it with your LAC or Support Coordinator at your next plan review. Provide supporting evidence from your GP or mental health team about your psychosocial disability and how recovery coaching would help you achieve your NDIS goals.

How Much Does Psychosocial Recovery Coaching Cost in Brisbane City?

Psychosocial recovery coaching rates in Brisbane City typically range from $105.43-$234.23/hour (NDIS price guide 2026-27). The rate depends on the provider, the coach's experience, and whether the session is delivered in person or via telehealth. The NDIS sets specific rates for recovery coaching under the Capacity Building Supports budget, so registered providers must charge within those limits.

Psychosocial recovery coaching is funded exclusively through the NDIS. It is not available through Home Care Packages, Medicare, or private health insurance in the same way allied health therapy is. This means the primary payment pathway is your NDIS Capacity Building budget.

The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits include specific line items and rates for psychosocial recovery coaching. The rate differs depending on whether the coach holds a higher qualification or has specialist experience. Check the current NDIS pricing document for the applicable rates as these are updated periodically.

For participants without current NDIS funding for recovery coaching, it is worth discussing this with your Local Area Coordinator at your next plan review. Recovery coaching is most often included in plans for participants with a primary psychosocial disability.

Time	Indicative rate
Recovery coaching session (standard)	$100 - $160/hr
Recovery coaching (higher intensity)	$130 - $190/hr
Initial planning and goal-setting	$100 - $190/hr
Non-face-to-face support (phone, admin)	$100 - $190/hr
Report writing	$100 - $190/hr

Rates are indicative and must comply with the current NDIS Pricing Schedule for psychosocial recovery coaching line items. Participants should check the NDIS pricing document for current applicable rates.

How to Pay for Psychosocial Recovery Coaching in Brisbane City

Psychosocial recovery coaching is funded through the NDIS under Capacity Building Supports. It is not available through other government-funded care programs in the same way.

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme): Recovery coaching is funded under Capacity Building Supports, specifically under 'Support Coordination' category for psychosocial recovery coaching. Your plan must include this line item. It is most commonly included in plans where the participant has a primary psychosocial disability, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or severe anxiety and depression. If you do not have this funding, raise it with your LAC or planner at your next review.

Self-managed participants can engage any recovery coach, including those who are not NDIS registered providers. Plan-managed participants can use registered or unregistered providers through their plan manager. NDIA-managed participants must use NDIS registered providers only.

Recovery coaching is distinct from support coordination, though both may appear in the same plan. If you have both, your Support Coordinator handles service system navigation, while your Recovery Coach works alongside you on personal recovery goals. The two roles are complementary.

Private payment is not a common pathway for recovery coaching, as the service is specifically designed for NDIS participants with a psychosocial disability. Speak with your NDIS planner or LAC if you believe recovery coaching would benefit you and it is not currently in your plan.

What to Expect from Psychosocial Recovery Coaching in Brisbane City

Psychosocial recovery coaching is a strength-based, goal-oriented support that works alongside you on your recovery journey. It is not therapy or clinical treatment. Instead, it focuses on building your capacity to manage your life, connect with your community, and work toward the goals that matter to you.

Your recovery coach will spend time getting to know you, your experiences with mental health, your goals, and the things that help or hinder your wellbeing. They will help you develop a recovery plan that reflects what you want your life to look like, not just what services you need.

On an ongoing basis, your coach may help you think through challenges, prepare for appointments with health providers, work on communication skills, build routines, and stay connected to supports during difficult periods. They are available by phone or in person depending on what is most useful at the time.

A recovery coach is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, you should contact a mental health crisis line, your GP, or emergency services. Your coach can help you build a crisis plan so that you know what to do and who to contact when things get hard.

You can expect your recovery coach to be someone with lived experience of mental health recovery or formal qualifications in mental health, or both. The NDIS recognises both pathways into this role. Ask your provider about their coaches' background and experience when making your choice.

How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo shows register-sourced status fields and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm the current entry yourself. Here is what each listing shows and where to check it. A listing on Carevo is not an endorsement.

NDIS registration

Listings show whether a provider reports being NDIS registered. You can confirm a provider's current registration and approved support types yourself on the NDIS Commission's public provider register.

Aged care approval

The aged care approval label is sourced from the Australian Government's My Aged Care provider register. Confirm the current entry and the services listed there before choosing a provider.

ABN you can check

Most listings include the provider's Australian Business Number, shown on the profile. You can look it up on the Australian Business Register to confirm the business is registered and active.

Language support in Brisbane City

Brisbane City has a large Mandarin-speaking community (8% of residents), so finding psychosocial recovery coaching in a shared language matters here. These are the main languages spoken at home locally (ABS Census 2021). When you get matched, ask providers which of their staff speak your language and whether they can keep that worker as your regular. Interpreters are free through TIS National for NDIS appointments, and My Aged Care can arrange them for aged care assessments.

Response figures are based on 10 psychosocial recovery coaching requests across Australia over the last 180 days, as we do not yet have enough requests in Brisbane City to report a local figure. Measured on enquiries across all services in Brisbane Inner over the last 180 days. In that same period 92.3% of enquiries there reached at least one provider (72 of 78). That is 0.16 enquiries per provider listed across Brisbane Inner in that period (488 at the time, a wider area and an earlier date than the Brisbane City count above). How we calculate our numbers

How we rank providers

Rankings in Brisbane City use directory relevance and observable activity on Carevo: service match, distance, register-sourced status fields, whether an enquiry can reach the provider, and recent response and connection activity. Rankings are recalculated daily. They do not assess care quality or recommend a provider.

How this list is built. Providers shown here are registered with the NDIS for Therapeutic Supports, or offer psychosocial recovery coaching, therapy, and allied health. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
Activity on Carevo. We measure recent actions such as connecting on an enquiry, opening its contact details, responding, and an inquirer reporting whether a connection helped. These are platform activity signals, not an assessment of the support delivered.
Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
Register-sourced status. NDIS registration fields come from the NDIS Commission provider register. Aged care approval fields come from the My Aged Care register. These statuses are ranking inputs, not Carevo endorsements, and you should confirm the current register entry before choosing a provider.
Carevo enquiries. Providers who have paused requests from us are moved down among providers with the same relevance. They stay visible and are marked as not receiving Carevo enquiries.
Recent activity. Providers active on Carevo recently (a connection, a login, or a profile update) get a small boost, the same signal shown as "Active this week" on their card. It is deliberately small: stronger relevance and condition evidence outweigh a recent login.
Local presence. Providers confirmed in Brisbane City rank above those covering only the broader region.

What the enquiries status means

It answers one question: would a request sent through Carevo today actually reach them? It is not a rating, it is not about the provider's books, and it is not a statement about their capacity, their waiting list, or the quality of their care.

Receiving: At least one contact on their account is set up to receive new requests from us, and someone has signed in recently enough for us to say a person is there.
Not receiving: Every contact on the account has unsubscribed or paused, so we have no way to pass an enquiry on.
No status shown: We cannot tell either way, so we say nothing rather than label the provider. The account is set to receive enquiries, but nobody has signed in recently, or there are no contact details on file. It is not a negative mark, and most listings sit here.

A provider who is not receiving our enquiries may well be taking new clients directly. Providers set this themselves and can turn it back on at any time from their Carevo account or from any email we send them. Providers not receiving our enquiries are moved down the list and never hidden. It is refreshed daily, so a provider who resumes, or signs in, reappears within a day.

What the Carevo activity rating means

The Strong activity rating describes how a provider behaves on Carevo, not the care they deliver.

Where it starts: Every provider starts at a baseline of 50.
What moves it: Enquiries from the last 90 days. The strongest positive is a care seeker naming that provider as the one who helped them. The clearest negative is connecting on an enquiry and never opening the contact details.
How it is kept honest: Recalculated daily from scratch, shown only above the baseline and only with at least two scored signals, and removed automatically when either stops being true. It cannot be purchased.

It is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or an assessment of care quality, and we do not screen providers for complaints. Complaints are handled by the NDIS Commission and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. See the full activity rating methodology.
