Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) practitioners help participants understand and address behaviours of concern through evidence-based, person-centred strategies that improve quality of life.

Question 2

Who is eligible for NDIS Behaviour Support?

Behaviour Support is most commonly used for participants with intellectual disability, autism, or acquired brain injury who display behaviours of concern that impact their own safety or the safety of others. It is also valuable for participants experiencing significant anxiety or mental health challenges.

Question 3

How is Behaviour Support funded in my NDIS plan?

Behaviour Support is funded from Capacity Building — Behaviour Support. If restrictive practices are used in your support, providers are legally required to have an approved BSP in place. The NDIS Commission oversees the use of restrictive practices.
