bEHAVIOUR SUPPORT SERVICES

---

We provide Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) services to children and adults.  We can provide PBS services to clients:

• who are funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
• who are in receipt of funding/ supports from DCJ or another out of Home Care arrangement
• who need a PBS Plan for Residential Aged Care
• who are able to fund this service privately

For clients with NDIS Funding, positive behaviour support falls under the ‘Improved Relationships’ budget and in some circumstances, funding for this support can also come ‘Assistance with Daily Life’ budget.

Improved Relationships funding may be available where concerning behaviours restrict a person’s ability to participate fully in everyday life.

Behaviour Support services are required when someone has "challenging behaviour", also known as "behaviour/s of concern".  Examples are:

• Physical or Verbal Aggression
• Self-injury
• Property Destruction
• Disinhibited Behaviours
• Sexualised Behaviours
• Impulsivity and Absconding
• Pica (eating of non food items)

These behaviours often exist as the person does not have the adaptive or communication skills.  The positive behaviour support process seeks to understand why these behaviours occur and how they can be managed.
