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.
