What Is Behaviour Support? 

Behaviour Support is an NDIS-funded service designed to help participants who experience behaviours of concern that may impact their safety, wellbeing, relationships or ability to participate in everyday life.

The goal of Behaviour Support is not punishment or control. It is about understanding why behaviours occur and developing positive strategies that improve quality of life.

  • A Behaviour Support Practitioner can help with:
  • Understanding triggers and behaviours
  • Developing Positive Behaviour Support Plans
  • Reducing restrictive practices
  • Building communication and coping skills
  • Supporting families, carers and support teams
  • Creating safer and more supportive environments

Every support plan is tailored to the participant’s goals, strengths and individual circumstances.

Why Behaviour Support Matters

Behaviours of concern are often a form of communication.

With the right support, participants can develop safer ways to communicate needs, build important life skills, and improve relationships and daily experiences.

Positive Behaviour Support helps create:

  • Greater independence
  • Improved communication
  • Safer and calmer environments
  • Better relationships and routines
  • Increased participation in community and daily life

Our focus is always on helping participants feel understood, supported and empowered.
