About the service
About Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) under the NDIS
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based, person-centred approach that helps participants who display behaviours of concern to have a better quality of life. Rather than suppressing behaviour, PBS uses a functional assessment to understand why it occurs, then develops a behaviour support plan that improves the person's environment, teaches new skills, and supports the people around them to respond well. It is delivered by qualified behaviour support practitioners.
A central goal is reducing and, where possible, eliminating restrictive practices, with strong safeguards and oversight to protect participants' rights. PBS is funded under capacity-building supports and involves assessment, plan development, training for families and workers, and ongoing review — success depends on everyone implementing the plan consistently. When choosing a provider, look for suitably qualified and registered practitioners, a genuinely person-centred, evidence-based approach, and a focus on skill-building, reducing restrictive practices, and measuring real quality-of-life improvements.
