How recovery coaching is funded in your NDIS plan

💼

Capacity Building — Support Coordination

The most common funding source. Look for this line item in your plan document.

📋

Improved Daily Living

Sometimes used where coaching overlaps with therapeutic supports. Ask your LAC or planner.

Recovery coaching has its own standalone NDIS line item — it does not come out of your Core budget.

We offer both lived-experience and degree-qualified recovery coaches, ensuring a tailored approach to each person’s unique needs.

NDIS pricing for psychosocial recovery coaching

Psychosocial recovery coaching is designed to support people living with mental health conditions in developing strategies, increasing independence, and achieving personal goals. The NDIS sets maximum hourly rates to ensure consistent pricing across providers.

Note on NDIS pricing: NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits are reviewed and updated annually, typically on 1 July each year. The figures below reflect the 2024-25 schedule. Visit the NDIS website for the most current rates before making planning decisions.

Support Item	Item No.	Weekday	Saturday	Sunday	Public Holiday
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching	07_101_0106_6_3	$107.24/hr	$150.14/hr	$193.04/hr	$235.94/hr

Private psychosocial recovery coaching costs

For clients not using NDIS funding, Heartfelt Support charges the same professional rates as the NDIS, with GST (10%) added as required for private services:

Support Item	Private Rate (inc. GST)
Recovery Coaching — Weekday Daytime	$117.96/hr

How the NDIS sets pricing

The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits are reviewed annually in consultation with providers and participants. A key factor in the model is an estimated 8% provider profit margin, which ensures providers can cover the genuine costs of delivery. These include:

Staff wages, including penalty rates for weekends and public holidays
Training and compliance costs for both lived-experience and degree-qualified coaches
Administration costs including scheduling, reporting, and client communication
Insurance and operational costs including public liability, professional indemnity, and workers’ compensation
Travel expenses for community-based services

Other costs to be aware of

Travel costs: Some services may incur travel charges, particularly if sessions are conducted in the community or at a participant’s home. Under the NDIS, this is typically covered within the participant’s plan. For private clients, travel costs are discussed upfront.

Cancellation fees: The NDIS allows providers to charge 100% of the scheduled fee if a session is cancelled without adequate notice, which can be up to five days. At Heartfelt Support, we require only 48 hours’ notice to avoid a cancellation fee — we understand that flexibility matters.
