What is NDIS Behaviour Support?

NDIS behaviour support is a specialised funding category designed to help participants who experience behaviours of concern. The primary goal is to improve the individual's quality of life, maintain their safety and the safety of those around them, and reduce the need for restrictive practices concerning behaviour of concern.

Instead of focusing on "punishments," modern positive behaviour support (PBS) seeks to understand the function of a behaviour. Is the participant trying to communicate a need, escape sensory overload, or express frustration?

The Role of an NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner

An NDIS behaviour support practitioner is a highly trained professional registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission and recognised by the NDIS Commission. At Daar, our practitioners act as detectives, advocates, and educators. They conduct assessments, develop targeted strategies, and train the participant's support network to implement these strategies consistently.

Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)

The cornerstone of our approach is the functional behaviour assessment. This comprehensive process involves observing the participant, gathering data, and interviewing key stakeholders (parents, teachers, and support workers) to determine exactly why specific behaviours are occurring and how specialist behavioural intervention support can effectively address it.

Positive Behaviour Support Plan (PBSP)

After the assessment, our Australia behaviour support team creates a personalised positive behaviour support plan that addresses your goals. This living document outlines proactive strategies to meet the participant's needs, teach replacement skills (such as communication techniques), and safely manage incidents when they occur.

Restrictive Practice Reduction

A critical mandate of the NDIS is the safe reduction and eventual elimination of restrictive practices (any intervention that restricts the rights or freedom of movement of a person with disability). Our practitioners are specialists in restrictive practice reduction, working methodically to implement ethical, skill-building alternatives that promote autonomy and dignity.

Who We Support: Tailored Care for Every Life Stage

daar provides holistic, lifespan-focused NDIS therapy services, catering to the unique developmental stages of children, adolescents, and young adults.

Behaviour Support for Children and Adolescents

Navigating the early years and the transition through puberty can be incredibly challenging for neurodivergent children. Our NDIS child behaviour support services programs are family-centred. We equip parents and carers with practical tools for the home environment, while also collaborating with schools to ensure consistency in the classroom.

Autism and Neurodiversity Support

We are proud to provide neurodiversity-affirming behaviour support for autism. As a dedicated autism behaviour support practitioner, your Daar specialist focuses on sensory processing needs, communication differences, and anxiety reduction. We do not aim to "cure" autism; rather, we supplement our approach with an interim behaviour support plan and provide behaviour management support that empowers the individual to thrive in a neurotypical world while respecting their unique neurological makeup.

Telehealth Behaviour Support Across Australia

High-quality behaviour support should not be dependent on your postcode. Daar is at the forefront of providing online NDIS behaviour support, breaking down geographical barriers via secure, accessible telehealth.

Accessible Care in Metro, Regional, and Remote Communities

Through our extensive telehealth behaviour support network, we provide seamless care to NDIS participants nationwide.

  • Major Metropolitan Cities: We support participants living in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, and Darwin.
  • Coastal and Regional Hubs: Whether you reside on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Geelong, Cairns, Townsville, or Launceston, our practitioners are just a click away.
  • Inland and Rural Centres: We bring top-tier NDIS behaviour therapy to regional Victoria, regional NSW, regional Queensland, regional WA, regional SA, and Tasmania, proudly servicing areas like Toowoomba, Ballarat, Bendigo, Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, Mildura, Rockhampton, and Mount Isa.
  • Remote Australia and Indigenous Communities: Living in remote Australia or the Northern Territory shouldn't limit your access to care. Our remote behaviour support Australia network reaches Alice Springs, Broome, Kalgoorlie, and Indigenous communities, providing culturally responsive and consistent support where physically accessing a practitioner may be impossible.

We offer Australia-wide telehealth support, ensuring that wait times are minimised and continuity of care is maintained, regardless of your location.

The daar Approach: Collaboration and Capacity Building

At daar, we do not work in isolation. A successful Positive Behaviour Support Plan requires a team effort.

  1. Family and Carer Collaboration: We spend time coaching parents, siblings, and primary carers. We want you to feel confident implementing strategies in everyday situations, from grocery shopping to bedtime routines.
  2. School and Education Partnerships: Behaviours of concern frequently manifest in the classroom. We actively engage with teachers, principals, and learning support units to modify educational environments and support inclusive learning.
  3. Support Worker and Allied Health Integration: We work closely with daily support workers, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and psychologists to ensure a multidisciplinary, unified approach to the participant's goals.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between early intervention and NDIS behaviour support provided by NDIS providers?

While both fall under the NDIS umbrella, NDIS behaviour support is specifically targeted at participants who display behaviours of concern that impact their safety or quality of life, often involving the need to reduce restrictive practices. Early intervention is a broader category of therapeutic support for young children with developmental delays. 

How does online NDIS behaviour support work through telehealth?

Telehealth involves secure video conferencing. Our practitioners can observe the participant in their natural environment (which is highly beneficial for assessing behaviour), conduct interviews with parents and support workers, and provide live coaching and strategy implementation without the stress of clinic travel.

Do you support participants living in remote areas?

Yes, absolutely. Through our comprehensive telehealth infrastructure, we support participants in regional, rural, and remote locations right across Australia, including Indigenous communities.
