Implementing Behaviour Support

A behaviour support plan only works if the people delivering daily support actually follow it. We are an implementing provider: we take the plan your specialist behaviour support practitioner has written and deliver it consistently, train our workers in your specific strategies, record the data the plan depends on, and meet our reporting obligations where regulated restrictive practices are in place.

How it's funded

Implementation happens through your existing Core Supports. The behaviour support plan itself is developed by a specialist practitioner, funded under Capacity Building – Improved Relationships.

What's included

What behaviour support covers

  • Day-to-day implementation of a behaviour support plan written by a specialist practitioner
  • Worker training in the specific strategies in your plan, not generic behaviour training
  • Proactive strategies embedded in daily routines rather than bolted on
  • Behaviour data collection and recording to support plan review
  • Working alongside your behaviour support practitioner, including reporting back on what is and is not working
  • Compliant recording and reporting of any regulated restrictive practice
  • Support to reduce and eliminate restrictive practices over time
  • Debriefing and review after incidents

Who this is for

  • Participants with a behaviour support plan who need a provider that will follow it
  • Specialist behaviour support practitioners looking for a reliable implementing provider
  • Families whose relative's plan is not being applied consistently across their supports
  • Support coordinators arranging supports where regulated restrictive practices are in place

How we work

Our clinical process

No mystery, no drawn-out intake. You know what happens at each stage and who is responsible for it.

  1. 1

    Plan handover

    We meet with your behaviour support practitioner and the people who know you best to understand the plan, its reasoning and its triggers.

  2. 2

    Worker training

    The workers supporting you are trained in your plan specifically — the proactive strategies first, then the response strategies.

  3. 3

    Consistent delivery and data

    Support runs to the plan, with behaviour data recorded accurately so plan reviews are based on evidence rather than impressions.

  4. 4

    Review and reduction

    We feed data and observations back to your practitioner, and work deliberately towards reducing and eliminating any restrictive practice in place.

Safeguards

How we keep this safe

Clinical supports carry real risk. These are the controls that sit behind the care, and we are happy to walk any of them through with you or your support coordinator.

  • We implement behaviour support plans; we do not write them. Plans are developed by an NDIS-registered specialist behaviour support practitioner.
  • Any regulated restrictive practice is documented and reported in line with the NDIS restrictive practices and behaviour support requirements
  • Workers are trained in your individual plan before they support you, and retrained when the plan changes
  • Every incident is recorded, reviewed and fed back into the plan
