Understanding behaviour support under the NDIS

Behaviour support practitioners work with NDIS participants whose behaviour of concern affects their safety, quality of life, or ability to participate in their community. The role involves understanding why behaviour occurs and developing strategies that address the underlying causes rather than simply managing the behaviour itself.

The process typically begins with a functional behaviour assessment — a structured evaluation of what triggers the behaviour, what maintains it, and what the person may be communicating through it. From this assessment, the practitioner develops a positive behaviour support plan (PBSP) that outlines proactive strategies, environmental modifications, and teaching new skills to replace behaviours of concern.

If a behaviour support plan includes any restrictive practices — such as environmental restrictions, seclusion, chemical restraint, or physical restraint — the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission has strict requirements. The practitioner must be registered with the Commission, the use of restrictive practices must be reported, and there must be a plan to reduce and eliminate their use over time. These requirements exist to protect participants’ rights and ensure restrictive practices are used only as a last resort.

Behaviour support is not a short-term intervention. A typical engagement runs six to twelve months and involves working closely with the participant, their family or carers, support workers, and sometimes schools or day programs. The practitioner provides training and coaching to everyone in the participant’s support network, not just the participant themselves. This is critical because behaviour doesn’t happen in isolation — it occurs within environments and relationships.

When choosing a behaviour support practitioner, look for someone registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission who has experience with the specific behaviours and disability type involved. Ask how they approach restrictive practice reduction, how often they’ll review and update the plan, and how they measure progress.
