NDIS Recovery Coaching

What is an NDIS recovery coach?

An NDIS recovery coach will help you identify your goals, look for opportunities, develop your support network and support you to make your own choices so you can live the life you want.

They work collaboratively with you, your family/informal support network and other services to identify, plan, design and coordinate your supports. Think life coaching but with professionals who understand emotional wellbeing and just get it.

We work with people all over Australia who are looking to work towards their life goals. You do not need an NDIS plan to access our wellbeing coaching.

For those that do have NDIS plans, psychosocial recovery coaching complements other forms of support. This means your NDIS recovery coach won’t provide your daily supports, but they will be your go-to person to bring all of your NDIS supports together.
