When a persons behaviour affects everyday life, everyone feels it!

We are an NDIS Behaviour Support Registered Provider helping participants, families and support teams understand behaviour and build safer, better days for the loved one's you have concerns with.

🌻Understanding behaviour changes everything - Positive Behaviour Support isn't about controlling behaviour, it's about understanding it. An evidence-based, person-centred approach that helps people safely express their needs, regulate emotions and participate more fully in everyday life.

Rather than asking "how do we stop this behaviour?", we ask:

*What is this person trying to communicate?
*What need isn't being met?
*What skills could help?
*What changes in the environment would make life easier?

Our PBS service is tailored to the individual, their goals and the people who support them every day🌻

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower can help share that you have a disability or condition that may not be immediately obvious. It can be worn as a pin, badge, lanyard or wristband. 🌻

It lets those around you know that you may need a helping hand or understanding, whether at the shops, at work, on transport, or in public spaces.

Are you unsure about your Behaviour Support Plan process under the NDIS?

A Behaviour Support Plan is designed to improve quality of life by understanding the reasons behind behaviours of concern & implementing positive, evidence-based strategies that reduce the need for restrictive practices.

The process involves:

• Comprehensive assessment
• Collaboration with the participant, family & support team
• Development of a personalised Behaviour Support Plan
• Ongoing monitoring & review to ensure strategies remain effective & person-centred

Understanding the process can help participants, families & service providers work together to achieve safer & more positive outcomes.

NDIS Providers: Due Diligence Matters More Than Ever!

With the congoing changes and increased compliance activity across the NDIS sector, it's essential to thoroughly research service providers before making referrals or engaging services.

This website provides access to current:

🔎 Banning Orders
🔎 Compliance Notices
🔎 Enforceable Undertakings
🔎 Suspensions or Revocations of Registration
🔎 Infringement Notice Lists

Whether you're a Support Coordinator, Plan Manager, Recovery Coach, participant, or family member, a quick compliance check can help you make safer, more informed decisions.

Check before you refer. Check before you engage. Check before you recommend.

For the latest compliance and enforcement actions, visit the NDIS Commission's Compliance Actions Register 👇

Before choosing an NDIS provider or support worker, take a moment to check the Digital Compliance Register 🔍

The register lets you see whether the NDIS Commission has taken compliance action against an organisation or individual.

Use it to make more informed decisions about your supports and services.

Access it here: https://bit.ly/digital-compliance-register
