What is a Recovery Plan?

People with psychosocial disabilities often experience problems arising from mental health issues. They face challenges in many areas of life, such as the ability to think clearly, mingle in their social environment with people around them or enjoy a healthy lifestyle. They often face stigma and discrimination, which leads to unemployment, deprivation, isolation or even homelessness in some extreme cases.

A recovery plan is a scheme that consists of strategy, documentation, outlining the steps to recover and procedures regarding plan management. The NDIS recovery plan is developed under the National Insurance Disability Scheme. This plan is designed for NDIS participants who are in a vulnerable position with mental health issues and experience turmoil in their lives due to various events or changes.

FAQs

I have lived with depression and anxiety for many years. Can I automatically get on the NDIS?

No. Each individual must meet the NDIS eligibility criteria and disability requirements. Access to the NDIS is based on the level of impairment caused by a mental health condition, not by diagnosis.

Will the NDIS fund support me if I have bipolar disorder?

It can depend on whether you meet the eligibility and disability criteria. If having bipolar disorder substantially reduces your ability to carry out everyday activities, you may be eligible.

I am being treated for drug and alcohol dependency. I also have a psychosocial disability. Does that make me ineligible for the NDIS?

No. You may receive treatment for these separately and at the same time. However, to access the NDIS, you will need to prove that your psychosocial disability is because of a mental health condition and not caused by alcohol or drug dependency.

My mental health condition is episodic, moving between good days and psychotic episodes. Can I get the NDIS if I have good days?

Yes, although psychotic episodes alone are not enough for the NDIS to grant an Access Request. However, many NDIS participants experience what they would define as “good days,” so if you meet the access requirements, you may be eligible for the NDIS.

What happens if my support needs change while I am getting the NDIS?

While the NDIS is designed to support you for life, there is built-in flexibility to change the support you receive as your needs change. This can be done at your regular/annual Plan Review meeting, or you can arrange a plan review by contacting the NDIS if your circumstances change. Mental health conditions and the NDIS.

Where can I get help if my NDIS Access Request is rejected?

The NDIS is designed to work in with other government and community support services. If your NDIS Access Request is rejected, your NDIS Local Area Coordinator (LAC) can connect you with other supports or services.

Can I appeal if the NDIS rejects my Access Request?

Yes. If eligible, you can request an internal review of your access decision by the NDIS. If you are not happy with the review’s outcome, you can apply for a review by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
