Frequently asked questions

What is a positive behaviour support plan?
A PBS plan is a document that identifies why behaviours of concern occur and outlines proactive strategies to prevent them, teach alternative skills, and ensure responses are consistent and respectful.
Does behaviour support only deal with aggression?
No. Behaviour support addresses any behaviour that impacts quality of life or safety, including self-injury, absconding, property damage, social withdrawal, and anxiety-driven behaviours.
How long does a behaviour support plan take?
An initial assessment typically takes 2-4 sessions. The plan is usually developed within 4-6 weeks. Implementation, monitoring, and review are ongoing as goals change.
Can unregistered providers deliver behaviour support?
No. Behaviour support is a specialist service that must be delivered by an NDIS-registered behaviour support practitioner. This ensures proper oversight of any restrictive practices.
