NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coach Hours: Getting What You Need
Getting the right NDIS funding for your recovery journey can feel overwhelming. A key part of this is figuring out how many hours you'll get with a NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coach (PRC). This article will help you understand what to expect and how to ensure your NDIS plan reflects your individual needs.
I found a thread in Reddit about people with NDIS sharing their experiences with PRC hours. I felt confused at first, but the key takeaway is that these hours are tailored to you.
Here's a range of PRC hours some folks on Reddit mentioned:
- 70 to 150 hours per year: This was a range mentioned by Psychosocial Recovery Coaches themselves, suggesting a starting point of 100-120 hours.
- As low as 40 hours: This might be the case if your needs are less complex.
So, what exactly determines how many PRC hours you get?
Your support needs
If you have a complex psychosocial disability, likely you will require more coaching hours to achieve your goals.
Your recovery goals
The number of hours will always depend on the specific areas you want to address with your PRC, e.g. building independence, social participation, or employment.
Your progress
As you progress in your recovery journey, your NDIS plan might be reviewed and the number of coaching hours adjusted accordingly.
Here's the good news: NDIS funding is designed to be flexible.
Don't be afraid to talk to your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator if you have questions about your PRC hours. They will help you navigate the system and get the support you need to reach your full potential.
