At Talk Health Therapy, our Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners (PBS Practitioners) work alongside individuals, families, and support teams to create safe, meaningful, and supportive environments. Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding the reasons behind behaviours of concern and developing strategies that enhance quality of life. We know that PBS isn’t just about reducing behaviours of concern — it’s about building skills, creating opportunities, and ensuring that every individual has the tools to thrive.
At Talk Health Therapy, we are committed to clinical excellence and outcomes that make a real difference. Our PBS Practitioners:
We believe that Positive Behaviour Support is about empowerment, not limitation.
Understanding and reducing behaviours of concern through positive, evidence-based strategies.
Building effective ways to express needs, wants, and emotions to improve daily interactions.
Encouraging meaningful relationships and safe, confident engagement in community activities.
Supporting independence with activities such as dressing, cooking, cleaning, and managing household routines.
Helping individuals develop strategies to manage stress, frustration, and big emotions in positive ways.
Creating structure and strategies to manage changes in daily routines and environments.
Focusing on safe, respectful alternatives that promote choice, dignity, and quality of life.
Promoting independence through teaching new life skills tailored to each individual’s goals.
Our PBS Practitioners start by getting to know you or your loved one. We take the time to understand strengths, needs, and the reasons behind behaviours of concern. This includes working closely with families, carers, and support networks to get the full picture.
We develop a tailored behaviour support plan that focuses on positive, proactive strategies. The plan outlines clear goals, skill-building activities, and practical steps to reduce behaviours of concern while promoting independence and quality of life.
PBS is not a one-time service — it’s a journey. Our practitioners provide regular coaching, training, and plan reviews to ensure strategies are effective. As needs change, we adjust the support plan to keep achieving positive, lasting outcomes.
Our PBS services for adults cover a wide range of health needs, including:
By addressing both physical and emotional needs, our positive behaviour support services help adults achieve improved daily living and meaningful participation in community life.
At Talk Health Therapy, we believe Positive Behaviour Support is more than just a plan, it’s a pathway to a better quality of life. Our PBS Practitioners can support you by:
Our positive behaviour support are here to provide therapy that fits into your routine – helping you focus on fostering independence and achieving your goals.
PBS is available for NDIS participants who experience behaviours of concern that may limit their ability to participate fully in daily life. If your plan includes funding under Specialist Behaviour Support or Improved Relationships, you may be eligible. If you’re unsure, our team can help review your plan and guide you on the best next steps.
A Behaviour Support Plan is a structured, written guide developed collaboratively with you, your carers, and your support team. Its main aims are:
Our plan is a living document — we monitor, review, and refine it as needed, ensuring it remains aligned with your goals.
Our process is collaborative and flexible, typically moving through three stages:
Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) is a tailored, written guide that outlines strategies to reduce behaviours of concern, build positive alternatives, and support consistent responses from families, carers, and support staff. At Talk Health Therapy, every plan is reviewed and refined over time to stay effective and relevant.
Restrictive practices are measures that limit a person’s rights or freedom (e.g., physical restraint or seclusion). At Talk Health Therapy, we aim to minimise and, wherever possible, eliminate restrictive practices by using safe, respectful, and empowering alternatives.
