What funding category covers a recovery coach in my NDIS plan?

The funding for recovery coaches comes under the ‘capacity building’ – support coordination category, in the NDIS plan. A separate term known as ‘Psychological Recovery Coaching’ is used to describe the area. ‘This category was designed to assist participants with mental disabilities who want to improve their way of life. There will be various price limits according to the time of the day you will need the support and the area you want the support, whether it’s remote or not.

A capacity-building budget is the most self-explanatory service that aids in building the participants’ capacity and making them more independent and confident about learning new skills. Capacity-building is not very flexible, but one can use the funding within any relevant category.

The role of a recovery coach generally involves providing support and guidance to individuals in areas such as managing their health, maintaining wellness, and achieving personal recovery goals. This aligns closely with the objectives of the Improved Daily Living Skills category, making it a suitable funding option under the NDIS.

It’s important to note that the specific funding and support needs can vary based on individual circumstances and the goals outlined in your NDIS plan. It would be best to discuss your requirements with your NDIS planner or coordinator to determine the most appropriate funding category and support for your situation.
