Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach under the NDIS that helps people with disability live safer, happier, and more independent lives. Instead of focusing only on managing behaviours of concern, PBS looks at the reasons behind those behaviours and creates positive strategies to support change. Our goal is to improve quality of life, build independence, and promote dignity and respect for every individual.

What is a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP)?

A Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) is a personalised plan created by a specialist behaviour support practitioner. It outlines strategies to help reduce behaviours of concern and encourages the development of new, positive skills. The plan may include:

Proactive strategies to prevent behaviours of concern.
Skill-building activities to increase independence.
Environmental adjustments for comfort and safety.
Guidelines for safe and appropriate responses to behaviours.

Restrictive practices are only included as a last resort and are closely monitored under strict NDIS safeguards.

How We Implement PBS

Implementation is where the Behaviour Support Plan becomes part of daily life. Our trained support staff and carers work closely with participants, families, and therapists to ensure the plan is followed consistently. This includes:

Training and guiding support workers and families.

Using positive reinforcement to encourage new skills.

Monitoring progress and adjusting strategies where needed.

Supporting participants in community, home, and social environments.
