Frequently asked questions
How do I access Behaviour Support through my NDIS Funding plan?
Behaviour Support funding is provided through the Capacity Building Supports Budget in Improved Relationships (CB Relationships).
There will be two separate funding amounts for Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support, and for Behaviour Management Plan Including Training in Behaviour Management Strategies.
What if I do not have Improved Relationships funding in my NDIS funding plan?
If you feel that you or your loved one requires behaviour support, it is important to collect evidence that the behaviours are occurring and communicate this with your Support Coordinator, Planner or LAC to include in your next NDIS funding plan.
What qualifications does a Behaviour Support Practitioner have?
Our Behaviour Support Practitioners have been approved and registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguard Commission.
Behaviour Wellbeing is a NDIS approved and registered Behaviour Support Provider.

What can I expect from my Behaviour Support Practitioner?
Visits, Observations and Training: The Practitioner will organise a number of appointments to gather information about the person, their behaviours and their life. To provide effective behaviour support we need to get to know the person – their likes/ dislikes, medical history, where they live and how they communicate. The Practitioner will usually need to observe the person in their home/ workplace/ school.
The Practitioner will also train everyone working with the person on how to implement the recommendations contained in the Behaviour Support Plan after it is completed. This will ensure consistency across all environments.
Assessment, Data Collection and Analysis: The Practitioner will need to gather data on the behaviour – how often it occurs and when it occurs. They may ask you to fill in some data sheets or use a QR data reporting format in order to monitor and make an assessment of why, when and how the behaviours are continuing.
Development of a Behaviour Support Plan: The Practitioner will spend an allocated portion of the funding developing your written plan. Depending on the type of behaviours, whether you have a previous plan and whether you have Regulated Restrictive Practices. Your Practitioner will give you a guide of how many hours will be required after the first two Information Gathering sessions. In most cases the Practitioner is required to develop a Behaviour Support Plan as part of your funding requirements in Improved Relationships – this will be outlined in your Service Agreement.
End Of Therapy Report: Prior to your next meeting with the NDIS to review funding, your Practitioner will develop an NDIS Review Report – BSP for you to take to the NDIS plan review meeting.

Behaviour communicates an unmet need
"Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling. And beneath every feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom."
Ashleigh Warner, Psychologist.
