Real results, every time.
We're a registered NDIS Specialist Behaviour Support provider — delivering evidence-based BSPs and Positive Behaviour Support Plans for NDIS participants across every suburb in Australia.
Daar is a fully NDIS-registered Specialist Behaviour Support provider. Your Capacity Building funding works seamlessly — line item 15_617_0128_1_3, no extra admin.
No template plans. Every Positive Behaviour Support Plan is built around the individual — their strengths, environment, support network, and the specific function of their behaviours.
BSPs delivered in person, via Telehealth, or through outreach — covering metropolitan, regional, and remote communities across all 8 states and territories.
Our BSPs are grounded in Positive Behaviour Support research. We track behaviour reduction, skill gains, and quality of life improvements at every review.
"The Behaviour Support Plan that Daar wrote for our son completely changed our family. We'd tried everything and nothing stuck — within weeks of having the BSP in place, our support team finally knew what to do and the challenging behaviours reduced dramatically. I can't recommend them enough."

NDIS Behaviour Support Plan — Structure & Template Overview
An NDIS Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) is a personalised document. No two BSPs are the same — they are tailored to the individual participant's strengths, needs, environment, and the specific function of their behaviours of concern. However, all NDIS BSPs developed by a registered Behaviour Support Practitioner follow a similar structure based on the NDIS Practice Standards.
NDIS Behaviour Support Plan Template — Key Sections
Participant Profile
Background information about the NDIS participant including their strengths, communication style, preferred activities, important relationships, and what matters most to them. This section ensures the BSP is person-centred.
Example: 'Liam is a 10-year-old with autism and ADHD. He communicates primarily through PECS and key words. He loves trains and outdoor activities. He is close with his mum and younger sister.'
Behaviour Description
A clear, observable, and measurable description of the behaviours of concern (BOC). This section defines what the behaviour looks like so that all support workers can identify it consistently.
Example: 'Behaviour of concern: physical aggression — defined as hitting, kicking, or biting directed at another person. Baseline frequency: 3-5 incidents per day.'
Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) Summary
A summary of the FBA findings — including setting events, antecedents, the behaviour, and consequences. Identifies the function (reason) behind the behaviour, such as escape, attention, access to tangibles, or sensory stimulation.
Example: 'The FBA indicates that physical aggression is maintained primarily by escape from non-preferred tasks, particularly during transitions and structured learning activities.'
Proactive Strategies
Evidence-based strategies to prevent the behaviour from occurring in the first place. Address setting events, antecedents, and the participant's skill gaps identified in the FBA.
Example: 'Provide a visual schedule for all transitions. Offer a 5-minute warning before activity changes. Teach and reinforce the use of a break card as a communication tool.'
Reactive Strategies
Safe and dignified strategies for support workers to use when the behaviour does occur, aimed at de-escalation and keeping everyone safe. Must be the least restrictive option available.
Example: 'If aggression begins: use a calm, neutral tone. Offer a sensory break. Move other people from the immediate area if safe to do so. Do not block or restrain unless there is immediate danger.'
Skill Building Goals
Goals targeting the development of replacement behaviours and communication skills that serve the same function as the behaviour of concern, making the challenging behaviour unnecessary.
Example: 'Goal: Liam will independently use his break card to request escape from non-preferred tasks on 4 out of 5 opportunities by [date].'
Restrictive Practices (if applicable)
Where the participant's supports currently include restrictive practices, the BSP must document these, provide an evidence base, include reduction goals, and meet NDIS Commission and state/territory authorisation requirements.
Example: 'Restrictive practice: brief physical guidance (hand-over-hand assistance). Purpose: to redirect during self-injurious behaviour. Reduction goal: eliminate use within 6 months through skill building.'
Implementation Plan
Who is responsible for implementing each strategy, in which environments, and how support workers and carers will be trained on the BSP.
Example: 'All support workers in Liam's home and school settings will receive a 1-hour BSP training session. The Behaviour Support Practitioner will conduct a review visit at 4 weeks.'
