What is a Behaviour Support Practitioner?
Behaviour support practitioners identify and assess behaviours of concern, implementing practical strategies and exercises to address them. The aim of this support is to improve the participant’s overall quality of life. Their support typically includes:
- Functional Behaviour Assessments: By conducting these assessments, they can identify triggers and patterns in exhibited behaviours.
- Behaviour Support Plans: Practitioners may develop interim or comprehensive behaviour support plans, depending on your needs. These plans are designed to outline strategies and skill-building attitudes that can be applied to challenging behaviours. .
- Collaborative Approach: Behaviour support practitioners work with families, carers and other health professionals to ensure that their plans align with their strategies and are beneficial to participants.
- Training and Guidance: They ensure that families and support staff are properly trained so that their approach and strategies can be successfully implemented.
- NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements: To ensure their plans are updated and in compliance with safeguarding frameworks, they will evaluate and update their support plans accordingly.
Some strategies they may implement include:
- Establishing positive and productive routines
- Promoting positive behaviours and skills
- Offering psychoeducation techniques
Are Behaviour Support Practitioner services funded by the NDIS?
Funding for behaviour support falls under the ‘Improved Relationships’ category within the ‘Capacity Building Supports’ section of your NDIS plan. Your funding can be used to help you develop a behaviour support plan that enhances your quality of life and how you navigate its challenges.
Support varies for each individual, with behaviour support practitioners tailoring their guidance to meet specific needs.

I went onto the website and put in my information, within two minutes I had a phone call. I spoke to Ellen who was absolutely lovely and did a fantastic job explaining everything I needed to know and making me feel calm in a situation I've never had to navigate before. Definitely recommend this company (and the happy Ellen) to any parent/person who's looking for help in a plan manager.
