Positive Behaviour Support Services

​Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based, person-centred approach aimed at enhancing the quality of life for individuals exhibiting challenging behaviours, particularly those with disabilities. In Australia, PBS services are integral to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), providing tailored strategies that focus on understanding and addressing the underlying causes of such behaviours.

Key Components of Positive Behaviour Support Services in Australia:

Conducting comprehensive assessments to identify the triggers and functions of challenging behaviours.

Focusing on teaching functional communication, social skills, and coping mechanisms to empower individuals.

Modifying surroundings to minimise triggers and support positive behavioural changes.
