Therapeutic Supports (128)
We connect you with a network of highly qualified and compassionate therapists who provide one-on-one, goal-oriented interventions. These therapies are crucial for improving function, enhancing skills, and fostering overall wellbeing:
- Physiotherapy: Our physiotherapists are experts in human movement. They work with you to improve your mobility, balance, and strength, enabling you to move more freely and safely. This can involve personalised exercise programs, manual therapy, pain management strategies, and assistance with assistive devices to help you regain function and reduce physical limitations.
- Occupational therapy: Occupational therapists focus on helping you build or regain the functional skills needed for everyday life. This may include assessment and training in areas like personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation, or managing household tasks. They may also recommend and teach you how to use assistive equipment or modify your environment to improve safety and independence. Their goal is to support your capacity to participate in meaningful daily activities with confidence.
- Speech therapy: Our speech therapists specialise in improving communication, language, and swallowing abilities. They provide personalised interventions to address various challenges, whether it is articulation, fluency, language comprehension, social communication skills, or safe swallowing techniques. Their support helps you express yourself clearly and confidently, enhancing your ability to connect with others.
- Psychology: Psychologists provide essential support for managing emotions, building resilience, and developing effective coping strategies. They offer a safe space to explore challenges, understand thought patterns, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional or psychological concerns. Their guidance aims to improve your mental wellbeing and equip you with skills for positive emotional regulation.
Our therapists work collaboratively with you, guiding and supporting you at every step of your journey. Through their expert interventions, you can build greater independence, develop confidence, and successfully achieve your personal therapeutic goals.
Implementing Behaviour Support Plans
For individuals requiring structured support to manage complex behaviours, our trained and compassionate staff are skilled in implementing Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs). These plans are carefully developed by specialist Behaviour Support Practitioners and are designed to:
- Understand and support behaviours of concern: We work to understand the underlying reasons and triggers for challenging behaviours in a safe, positive, and respectful way. Our approach focuses on proactive strategies to minimise distress and promote positive interactions.
- Promote positive behaviour and new coping skills: Through consistent application of the BSP, we encourage the development of alternative, positive behaviours and equip you with effective new coping skills to navigate difficult situations. This focuses on building your capacity for self-management.
- Reduce and eliminate restrictive practices: A core principle of our approach is the systematic reduction and, where possible, elimination of restrictive practices. We always operate with the utmost respect for your rights and dignity, prioritising less restrictive, positive interventions to support your wellbeing and autonomy.
We work in close partnership with you, your family, and other relevant professionals (such as your Behaviour Support Practitioner) to ensure that your environment, daily routines, and all supports provided are aligned to help you feel safe, empowered, and valued. This collaborative approach ensures that the BSP is implemented consistently and effectively, leading to meaningful and lasting positive change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Specialist Behaviour Support includes assessment, development of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Plans, training for carers and staff, and monitoring and reviewing progress. It is specifically focused on reducing behaviours of concern and improving quality of life using evidence-based, person-centred strategies.
However, it does not include general counselling, mental health therapy, or supports unrelated to behaviours of concern. It also cannot fund medical or psychiatric treatment, crisis accommodation, or services already covered under other health systems. All services must be aligned with the participant’s NDIS goals and be considered reasonable and necessary.
A Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Plan is a document developed after assessment by a behaviour support practitioner. It outlines tailored strategies to reduce behaviours of concern, promote positive alternatives, and support the participant’s emotional and physical well-being. The plan must be consistent with the NDIS Behaviour Support Framework and reviewed regularly.
Specialist Behaviour Support is a Capacity Building support funded by the NDIS to address behaviours of concern. It involves assessment, development, and implementation of positive behaviour support plans tailored to the individual. These plans aim to improve a participant’s quality of life while reducing the need for restrictive practices.
Behaviours of concern are actions that may cause harm to the individual or others, or that limit a person’s ability to participate in everyday life. These behaviours may include aggression, self-injury, or withdrawal. Specialist Behaviour Support aims to understand the underlying causes and provide strategies that are respectful, safe, and effective.
No. This support is available for any participant whose behaviour creates barriers to everyday activities or puts their safety or the safety of others at risk. The service is designed to be proactive and preventive, not only reactive.
