"Recovery" was a music and youth interests television series broadcast by ABC TV in Australia. It was aired each Saturday morning from 9:00am to 12:00pm following "Rage". It aired from 1996 to its last show on 29 April 2000.

It was primarily hosted by Dylan Lewis, although in the earlier episodes produced in Sydney, the hosting and segment introduction duties were shared with others such as Sarah MacDonald. Once production moved to Melbourne, the show was co-hosted with Jane Gazzo and was shot entirely before a live studio audience. Actor/comedian Angus Sampson was also a regular co-host, although mainly under the guise of his mysterious alter-ego The Enforcer. This format would last until November 1998. Gazzo then moved to the UK whilst Lewis left to pursue further interests, including his band The Brown Hornet.

As a result of many attempts by ABC TV to cut production costs, "Recovery" would then change its format at least three times until it was finally axed in April 2000. At the beginning of its 1999 season, it was shot live in a house in suburban Melbourne, with Sampson as the main host. This format ultimately proved unsuccessful and was discontinued after only a few episodes. During its final months on air, "Recovery" switched its focus entirely on to electronic music.

Recovery often made references to "Monkey". "Recovery's" audience favoured the series to such a degree that they began airing "Monkey" regularly during their show. Ironically when "Recovery" was put on hiatus during the non-ratings season, it was replaced with three hours of "Monkey".

In 2006, jtv was launched as a successor programme.
