FAQs

PBS is an evidence-based, person-centred approach that aims to understand and address behaviours of concern by improving quality of life and developing practical strategies. If you’re an NDIS participant with PBS funding—or even if you don’t have it yet—we can help assess your needs and support you through the process of accessing PBS.
-
PBS begins with an initial assessment, followed by the development of a Positive Behaviour Support Plan (PBSP). This usually takes 4–6 weeks and includes consultation with you and your support team. We continue to support you after the plan is completed to make sure it’s working effectively.
-
