A Support Coordinator helps you understand and implement your NDIS plan by connecting you with appropriate services and supports, ensuring you get the most out of your funding. Their focus is on helping you navigate the NDIS, manage service agreements, and build your capacity to coordinate your own supports.
On the other hand, a Psychosocial Recovery Coach (PRC) provides specialised support for individuals with psychosocial (mental health) disabilities. PRCs work closely with you to develop and implement a recovery-oriented plan, addressing mental health challenges and promoting greater independence and well-being. They draw on their expertise and often their own lived experience to offer deeper insight and support, focusing on your recovery journey, building resilience, and improving your overall quality of life.
While both roles aim to support you in navigating the NDIS and achieving your goals, PRCs have a specific focus on mental health and recovery, providing more tailored and specialised support for those with psychosocial disabilities.
