NDIS Positive Behaviour Support
NDIS Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred, evidence-based approach designed to improve the quality of life of individuals who display behaviours of concern, often related to a disability. Under the NDIS, Positive Behaviour Support aims to understand the underlying reasons for these behaviours by looking at the individual’s environment, communication needs, trauma history, and other contributing factors. The goal is not to control or suppress behaviours but to support the person in learning safer, more functional alternatives that meet their needs and enhance their independence.
PBS under the NDIS involves the development of a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) by a registered Behaviour Support Practitioner. This plan outlines proactive strategies, skill development supports, and environmental adjustments tailored to the individual. Where restrictive practices are used (e.g., physical restraint, seclusion), they must be clearly justified, monitored, and reduced over time. The approach is collaborative, involving the person, their family, carers, and support workers, ensuring that all strategies align with the person’s goals and uphold their dignity, rights, and autonomy. Ultimately, PBS supports sustainable behaviour change by focusing on capacity-building and long-term wellbeing.
At Soothing Minds, our goal in delivering Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is to empower individuals with disability to live safer, more fulfilling lives by addressing the underlying causes of behaviours of concern in a respectful and compassionate manner. We aim to build capacity, not just manage behaviour—supporting people to develop meaningful skills, enhance their independence, and improve their quality of life through proactive, person-centred strategies.
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, trauma-informed care, and a strong commitment to human rights. We work closely with individuals, families, and support teams to create tailored behaviour support plans that promote dignity, choice, and long-term wellbeing—reducing the need for restrictive practices and fostering environments where people feel safe, understood, and supported to thrive.
