What is Specialised Behaviour Support (SBS)?
Specialised Behaviour Support refers to intensive, expert help for individuals with significantly harmful or persistent behaviours of concern. Under the NDIS, this service is funded through the Capacity Building category called Improved Relationships, which is designed for ndis participants who need long-term or intensive strategies to address complex behaviours.
A key component of SBS is creating a formal behaviour support plan for your child. The plan includes proactive, positive behaviour strategies for children aimed at reducing the behaviours of concern over time. Specialist Behaviour Support interventions focus not just on reacting to behaviours, but on improving the person’s overall quality of life by meeting unmet needs and building on their strengths.
In summary, SBS is the high-level support for children with complex behavioural needs, delivered by accredited practitioners and involving comprehensive planning and coordination. If your child’s NDIS plan includes “NDIS improved relationships support” funding (sometimes noted as Behaviour Support funding), they are eligible for specialist behaviour intervention NDIS. We can also guide families through obtaining this funding if needed, ensuring no child goes without the support they require.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
Positive Behaviour Support is an evidence-based, person-centred approach to understanding and addressing challenging behaviours. Unlike traditional behaviour management, PBS focuses on proactive and positive strategies: it seeks to understand the reasons behind your child’s behaviour and to meet their needs in better ways.
In practical terms, engaging in PBS with us means we will work with your family to develop a Positive Behaviour Support Plan for your child. A PBS plan is a personalised plan created in consultation with you, capturing strategies that are tailored to your child’s specific needs, triggers, communication style and goals.

Our 4-Step Positive Behaviour Support Process
When you engage with our Sydney behaviour support team, we will guide you through a clear process, ensuring you know what to expect at each stage. Our approach is family-centred and collaborative, so you are involved and informed throughout the journey:
Family Training & Strategy Implementation
A plan only works if everyone is on the same page. That’s why our PBS practitioner will coach and train you, your family members, and other key people in your child’s life on how to put the plan into action. We can conduct hands-on training sessions in your home or your child’s school to demonstrate techniques and ensure caregivers feel confident.
Ongoing Support & Review
Behaviour change is a journey, not a quick fix. Our commitment to you doesn’t end after the initial training. We provide ongoing coaching, support and regular reviews of your child’s progress. . In short, we’re in it for the long haul – your family’s partner in positive behaviour change.
Our goal is simple: to help your child gain meaningful skills while giving you confidence that every hour of support is purposeful, measurable, and tailored to your family’s needs.

Everything we do is aligned with the core values of the NDIS – ensuring your child’s rights, dignity, and choices are respected at all times. We are committed to reducing and eliminating any use of restrictive practices in behaviour support. Our plans emphasise positive interventions and consent-based strategies so that your child never feels punished or excluded for their behaviours.

Collaborative and Holistic Support
We don’t work in a silo. Our team often collaborates with schools, doctors, therapists, and other providers involved in your child’s care to ensure a holistic approach. With your permission, we can liaise with your child’s school teachers or childcare staff to understand the behaviour in those settings and to equip them with strategies from the Behaviour Support Plan.
