Positive Behaviour Support Services

What We Provide

Positive Behaviour Support Services

Our Positive Behaviour Support service is uniquely structured around the B.R.I.D.G.E Behaviour System — our signature 6-step framework that ensures every strategy is practical, respectful, and focused on long-term skill building. We support a wide range of needs, including Autism, ADHD, PDA profiles, trauma backgrounds, sensory differences, psychosocial disabilities, and complex mental health.

The B.R.I.D.G.E Behaviour System means we don’t just write a plan and hand it over. We build the capacity of everyone around the person — support workers, families, and teams — to implement strategies with confidence and consistency.

Step 1: Assessment

Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)

Before we write a plan, we need to understand the behaviour. We look at the environment, sensory needs, communication gaps, and triggers to figure out exactly why the behaviour is happening. We don’t guess — we assess.

Step 2: The Plan

Behaviour Support Plans (BSP)

We write clear, NDIS-compliant Behaviour Support Plans that are free from confusing jargon. Our plans give support teams step-by-step instructions on how to prevent escalation and how to respond safely when things go wrong.

What We Do

Support That Goes Beyond the Plan

A Behaviour Support Plan is only useful if the people around the participant know how to use it. Our service is built around implementation — making sure families and support workers feel confident managing complex behaviours safely.

Step 3: Implementation

Team & Family Coaching

This is where most plans fail. We don’t walk away after the plan is written. We stay involved to coach support workers, guide families, and adjust the strategies until they are actually working in the real world.

The Process

How To Get Started

Submit A Referral

Submit a referral online. We will review it on the same business day to ensure we are the right fit for the participant's specific needs.

2
Initial Consult

We meet with the participant, family, and key support workers to understand the current risks, challenges, and goals.

Behaviour Support Plan & Coaching

We develop a practical Behaviour Support Plan and begin coaching the team on how to use the strategies safely.

5
Ongoing Implementation & Reviews

We stay involved to review progress, tweak strategies, and ensure the support team feels confident.

Progress Monitoring & Reporting

We track behaviour data, measure outcomes against the BSP goals, and provide regular progress reports to the NDIS, support coordinator, and family — keeping everyone informed and accountable.

Funding Types Accepted

Flexible support for all NDIS participants

Our goal is to make every step of accessing Positive Behaviour Support simple, clear, and stress-free, helping families and participants feel confident and supported from the very beginning.

NDIS Funding Category: Positive Behaviour Support is funded under Capacity Building — Improved Relationships (CB Relationships) in your NDIS plan. The NDIS support item number is 07_004_0106_6_3 (Behaviour Support Practitioner).

Behaviour Bridge works with a wide range of NDIS participants and can tailor our services to suit each funding arrangement:

Plan managed participants

We coordinate directly with your plan manager to ensure services are delivered smoothly and according to your plan. We send invoices directly to your plan manager — you don’t need to handle any payments yourself.

Agency managed participants

We liaise with NDIS to ensure all documentation, reporting, and service delivery is compliant and seamless.

Self managed participants

We provide clear guidance, transparent pricing, and support so you can manage your plan confidently while accessing quality PBS.

🤡 Behaviour Support Eligibility

Is Positive Behaviour Support the Right Fit?

Answer 6 quick questions to find out if the person you have in mind is eligible for PBS — and what the right next step is.

Question 1 of 6
Is the person you have in mind a current NDIS participant?
Yes — they have an active NDIS plan
🔄Not yet — they are applying for NDIS or their plan is under review
No — they are not an NDIS participant
Step 1 of 6
Question 2 of 6
Does the person display behaviours of concern that are causing risk or distress?
🔴Yes — significant risk (e.g. physical aggression, self-injury, property destruction, elopement)
🟡Moderate — behaviours are challenging but not immediately dangerous
🟢Mild or none — I'm looking for proactive strategies before behaviours escalate
Question 3 of 6
Is there a team of support workers, family members, or carers involved in the person's daily support?
👥Yes — there are multiple people involved in their daily care and support
🏠Mainly family — parents or family members are the primary support
🧍Mostly independent — they live alone or with minimal support
Question 4 of 6
Does the person have a diagnosis or condition that affects their behaviour or communication?
🤡Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
🧠Intellectual disability, acquired brain injury, or psychosocial disability
📋Other diagnosis (ADHD, complex trauma, dual diagnosis, etc.)
No formal diagnosis or unsure
Question 5 of 6
Has the person had a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) before?
Yes — and it has been helpful
⚠️Yes — but it isn't working or hasn't been implemented properly
🕒No — this would be their first BSP
Question 6 of 6
Does the person's NDIS plan include funding under Improved Relationships (Support Category 07)?
💰Yes — their plan includes Improved Relationships or Behaviour Support funding
🤔Not sure — I'd need to check their plan
📝No — but I think they need it and want to discuss getting it added

This person is a strong candidate for Positive Behaviour Support

Based on your answers, the person you have in mind is likely eligible for PBS under their NDIS plan. They have an active NDIS plan, behaviours of concern, a support team in place, and relevant funding — all the key indicators for a successful PBS engagement.

What to do next: Submit a referral and we'll review it on the same business day.

🤔

PBS is likely appropriate — let's talk it through first

There are some factors that suggest PBS could be a good fit, but there are also some things worth discussing before submitting a formal referral — funding availability, diagnosis clarity, or whether PBS is the right pathway right now.

What to do next: Book a free 30-minute case chat. No obligation — just a conversation to figure out the right pathway together.

↩ Start again
ℹ️

PBS may not be the right fit right now — but we can still help

The person you have in mind may not currently meet the eligibility criteria for NDIS-funded PBS. This could be because they are not yet an NDIS participant, their plan doesn't include the right funding, or their needs are better addressed through a different pathway.

What to do next: Get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.

Note: Behaviour Bridge is a mobile clinic. Sessions take place in the home, community, school, workplace, or other environments that suit the person’s needs.

How long does a Behaviour Support Plan last?

Plans are reviewed regularly, typically every 12 months, or sooner if needs change.

We involve the individual, family, support workers, and relevant professionals to ensure strategies fit real life.
