Behaviour Support

Behaviour Support aims to improve the quality of life for individuals who experience behaviours of concern. This is achieved by developing proactive, evidence-based strategies that address behaviours while prioritising the person’s individual needs, dignity, and overall wellbeing.

Our Behaviour Practitioner provides:

• Positive Behaviour Support: Uses evidence-based strategies to increase quality of life and reduce behaviours of concern.
• Individualised approach: Tailored to each person’s unique needs, preferences, and circumstances.
• Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA): Identifies the purpose, triggers, and maintaining factors of behaviours.
• Behaviour Support Plans (BSP): Develops comprehensive plans to address behaviours and teach alternative, functional skills.
• Skill building: Focuses on developing new skills to replace challenging behaviours.
• Environmental modifications: Adjusts environments to minimise triggers and promote positive behaviours.
• Collaboration: Works closely with the individual, their family or guardians, and other support providers.
• Ongoing monitoring and review: Regularly evaluates and adjusts strategies to ensure effectiveness.
• Restrictive practices: Where required, implements and monitors restrictive practices in strict compliance with NDIS regulations.
• Capacity building: Trains carers and support workers to confidently implement behaviour support strategies.

Overall, Behaviour Support aims to enhance independence, social participation, and long-term quality of life for NDIS participants by building skills, reducing behaviours of concern, and strengthening support networks.

These services are designed to enhance independence, build confidence, and foster meaningful community connections, helping participants lead fulfilling and socially engaged lives.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides home and living support to assist participants with daily living tasks, such as personal care, meal preparation, and household management, enabling them to live as independently as possible. SIL is designed for participants with higher support needs who require 24/7 assistance in either shared or individual homes. Supports can be provided in SIL homes, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), or other NDIS-approved disability housing.
