About NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioners in Australia

A behaviour support practitioner works with you, your family and your support team to understand behaviours of concern and develops a positive behaviour support plan that reduces them and the use of restrictive practices. Practitioners must be considered suitable by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Behaviour support is funded from the Capacity Building – Improved Relationships budget.

Before you choose a provider, check whether they are registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, ask about wait times and whether they can visit you at home, and confirm which support items they will claim. You can compare their rates against the current price limits in our free NDIS Price Guide.

If your NDIS plan is agency-managed (NDIA-managed), you must use registered providers. If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can also use unregistered providers, as long as the support is in your plan.
