Positive Behaviour Support
for NDIS Participants and private clients
Build safer, more positive everyday routines with personalised behaviour support tailored to your NDIS goals.
Positive Behaviour Support helps people, families and support teams understand behaviours of concern, reduce distress, and build practical strategies that support safety, communication, independence and quality of life.
We can help you:
- Understand behaviours of concern, identify underlying causes, and work to reduce or eliminate the use of restrictive practices wherever possible.
- Develop practical strategies to reduce distress and improve safety
- Build communication, emotional regulation and daily living skills
- Access behaviour support aligned to your NDIS goals
What is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support is an evidence-informed approach that helps people understand why behaviours of concern may be happening and what support can reduce them.
Under the NDIS, Positive Behaviour Support can help improve quality of life, reduce restrictive practices where relevant, and support safer participation at home, school, and in the community.

Positive Behaviour Support for different needs
Positive Behaviour Support for autism
Positive Behaviour Support for autism can help identify the reasons behind behaviours of concern and create strategies that support communication, sensory regulation, routines and emotional safety.
Support may focus on reducing distress during transitions, improving predictability, building communication skills, and helping families or support teams respond in ways that reduce escalation and increase participation.
Positive Behaviour Support for intellectual disability
Positive Behaviour Support can help people with intellectual disability communicate needs, build daily living skills and reduce behaviours that may be linked to frustration, overwhelm, environment or unmet support needs.
Positive Behaviour Support may include assessment, skill-building strategies, environmental adjustments and support team training.
Positive Behaviour Support for complex needs
Positive Behaviour Support can assist people with complex disability, mental health or communication needs where behaviour may be affecting safety or quality of life.
Support focuses on understanding the person’s needs, reducing risk, coordinating with the broader support team and building practical strategies for everyday environments.
Positive Behaviour Support for restrictive practices
Where restrictive practices are in place or being considered, Positive Behaviour Support can help develop plans that focus on reducing restrictions while maintaining safety, dignity and wellbeing.
