What NDIS positive behaviour support is

NDIS positive behaviour support works out why a behaviour of concern happens. A practitioner looks at the person's life and routine, then writes a plan that builds skills.

My Behaviour Support is a registered NDIS provider for behaviour support. If you have been looking for a behaviour therapist, this is the NDIS support to ask about.

Behaviour therapy and the NDIS

Looking for a behaviour therapist through the NDIS?

Many families search for a behaviour therapist or behaviour therapy. Under the NDIS, the same help is called positive behaviour support.

The NDIS name for the person who does this work is a behaviour support practitioner. The NDIS Commission must find them suitable before they write a plan.

When you compare providers, ask if the person writing your plan has been found suitable. It is also fair to ask who supervises them.

What happens next

What happens after you make a referral

The NDIS Commission sets the timeframes for plans. Here is what usually happens once you refer to us.

See our 6-step behaviour support process →

  1. You make a referral

    Send the referral form or call us. We talk through the person's needs, NDIS plan and goals with you.

  2. We complete a Functional Behaviour Assessment

    Your practitioner observes the person at home, school or in the community. They work out why a behaviour of concern happens.

  3. An interim plan, if needed

    Restrictive practices are only ever a last resort. If one is in use, NDIS Commission rules require an interim plan within 1 month.

  4. We write a comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan

    Under the same rules, a comprehensive plan follows within 6 months. It builds skills and aims to reduce restrictive practices over time.

  5. We train the people around the person

    We show families, carers, schools and support staff how to use the plan with calm and confidence.

  6. We review and update the plan

    Plans with restrictive practices must be reviewed at least every 12 months. We also review sooner when needs change.

Restrictive practices

How the NDIS rules on restrictive practices work

Restrictive practices are only ever a last resort, with a goal to reduce them over time. The NDIS Commission regulates 5 types.

Under NDIS Commission rules, unauthorised use is a reportable incident. Providers must report it within 5 business days.

The 5 regulated restrictive practices

  • Seclusion
  • Chemical restraint
  • Mechanical restraint
  • Physical restraint
  • Environmental restraint

NDIS positive behaviour support is paid from the Capacity Building part of a plan. Older plans list it under Improved Relationships, and PACE plans list it as Behaviour Support.

This budget can pay for the assessment, the plan, training and reviews. Your plan manager or support coordinator can confirm what your plan includes.

We work with NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants. How a plan is managed changes who handles the invoice, and the price stays the same.

Sessions are usually held fortnightly. The schedule depends on the person's needs and NDIS funding, and your practitioner talks it through with you. We can add training sessions or team meetings when needed.

Yes. We write Functional Behaviour Assessments, Interim Behaviour Support Plans and Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans, aligned with NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements. We send all assessments and plans to the NDIS.
