Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.

How Much Does Psychosocial Recovery Coaching Cost in Canberra?
Psychosocial recovery coaching rates in Canberra 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 Arrangements and Price Limits 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 Canberra
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 Canberra
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 much does psychosocial recovery coaching cost in Canberra?
Psychosocial recovery coaching rates in Canberra 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.
