The path to becoming an NDIS behaviour support practitioner

Support Workers

Building the capability and confidence of teams is essential to delivering safe, effective, and person-centred support. Our behaviour support training services are designed to equip staff, educators, clinicians, and support teams with the knowledge and practical skills required to understand behaviour, respond effectively to complex situations, and create positive outcomes for the people they support.

Drawing on contemporary evidence-based practice and real-world experience across disability, education, health, and community settings, we deliver engaging and practical training tailored to the needs of your organisation. Our training focuses on developing a deeper understanding of behaviour as communication, promoting proactive and preventative approaches, and strengthening staff confidence in responding to behaviours of concern.

Our goal is not only to increase knowledge but to build sustainable capability within teams, enabling staff to apply their learning confidently in everyday practice and contribute to safer, more positive environments for everyone involved.

Out-Of-Home Care Providers & Carers

Supporting children and young people in out-of-home care requires a deep understanding of the impact of trauma, attachment, developmental experiences, and individual needs on behaviour. Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) training is designed specifically for residential care, foster care, kinship care, and other out-of-home care providers, equipping teams with practical skills and evidence-based strategies to support young people experiencing complex behavioural, emotional, and social challenges.

Our training helps carers, support workers, practitioners, and leaders understand behaviour as a form of communication and develop proactive approaches that promote safety, connection, and positive outcomes. Grounded in trauma-informed, person-centred, and strengths-based practice, we focus on building the capacity of teams to respond effectively to behaviours of concern while maintaining the dignity, rights, and wellbeing of the young people in their care.

Parents & Carers

Supporting a child, young person or adult who engages in behaviours of concern can sometimes feel overwhelming.
You may find yourself wondering “What is causing this behaviour?”, “What should I do when things escalate?” or “How can I support them without making things worse?”
Our Positive Behaviour Support courses are designed specifically for parents, carers and support people who want to better understand behaviour and feel more confident in providing supportive, respectful and practical responses.
You don’t need a professional qualification or background in behaviour support to participate.
Our courses break down key Positive Behaviour Support concepts into clear, practical and easy-to-understand information that you can apply in everyday situations.
Whether you’re just beginning to learn about Positive Behaviour Support or looking to build on your existing knowledge, explore our range of courses designed to support you on your learning journey.
