Positive behaviour support starts from a simple idea: behaviours of concern usually make sense once you understand what they're communicating. Our practitioner works with NDIS participants, families and support teams to figure out the 'why', then builds practical strategies that reduce distress and keep everyone safer.
The work combines a functional behaviour assessment, a plain-language behaviour support plan, and coaching for the people who are with the participant every day. We write plans to be used, not filed, with clear guidance support workers and families can actually follow.
Our practitioner holds postgraduate qualifications in social work and physiotherapy, which brings a strong systems lens (family, school, housing, culture and community) and a comfort with the physical health, pain and sensory layers that often sit underneath behaviour.
Behaviours of concern at home, at school or in the community, supported with the family and school around them.

In practice, almost always yes. Behaviour support is funded through NDIS under Improved Relationships. If you're not an NDIS participant but think you need this support, get in touch and we'll help point you in the right direction.
It starts with a functional behaviour assessment, which involves time with the participant and the people around them. From there we develop the plan and train the team. We agree timeframes with you and your support coordinator up front.
Yes. Training the people who are with the participant every day is a core part of the work. A great plan that only lives in a document doesn't change anything, so we coach the team so everyone supports consistently.
In some cases, yes. Our practitioner does selective national outreach for complex cases, plus telehealth for participants in regional Victoria and beyond. Travel and scope are agreed up front with the participant and their support coordinator.
