Who behaviour support is for

Positive strategies for real change

For Participants
Understood, not managed.

Behaviour support is about understanding why behaviours happen and making changes that improve your wellbeing and quality of life — not controlling or restricting you. GenCare practitioners work with you, not around you, to build strategies that genuinely help.

What is Behaviour Support?

Understanding behaviour — then changing it

NDIS Behaviour Support is a specialist service delivered by registered practitioners. It is based on one principle: behaviours of concern happen for a reason. Our job is to understand the reason, address the underlying need and build a support environment where those behaviours are no longer necessary.

This approach — Positive Behaviour Support — is evidence-based, human rights-focused and designed to improve quality of life. It does not punish behaviours. It replaces them with better outcomes for the participant and everyone around them.

What we do

Behaviour support services from assessment to review

Starting point
Functional Behaviour Assessment

A comprehensive assessment of the behaviours of concern, their triggers, antecedents and function — forming the evidence base for the Positive Behaviour Support Plan.

Positive Behaviour Support Plans

A written PBS Plan developed collaboratively with the participant and their support network — covering preventive strategies, teaching strategies and responses to behaviours of concern.

Restrictive Practice Oversight

Where regulated restrictive practices are in use, GenCare practitioners provide the NDIS-required oversight, reporting and reduction plans — working toward elimination wherever possible.

Support Worker & Family Training

Hands-on training for support workers and family members to implement the PBS Plan consistently across all settings — the most important factor in a PBS Plan's effectiveness.

Crisis Response Planning

Where a participant's behaviours pose a risk of harm to themselves or others, we develop a detailed crisis response plan — including immediate safety strategies and escalation pathways.

Interim & Comprehensive Plans

When urgent support is needed, GenCare can develop an Interim Behaviour Support Plan quickly — with a full comprehensive plan to follow after thorough assessment.

For Families & Carers

You have tried everything. We have a different approach.

Many families come to GenCare Behaviour Support after years of trying to manage difficult situations without proper support. Our practitioners take the time to truly understand what is driving the behaviour — not just what it looks like from the outside. We develop practical strategies and then train your whole team to implement them consistently. That consistency is what changes outcomes.

For Participants

Support that starts with listening.

GenCare Behaviour Support always starts with you. Our practitioners take the time to understand your experience — what triggers difficult moments, what helps you feel safe and what goals matter to you. Your voice is at the centre of the PBS Plan, not an afterthought. We build strategies that work with your life, not against it.

Our process

From referral to PBS Plan in 4 steps

01
Referral and intake

We accept referrals from Support Coordinators, families and participants. We review the referral and match a registered practitioner within 24–48 hours.

02
Functional behaviour assessment

Our practitioner conducts direct observations, interviews with the participant and support network, and reviews existing documentation to understand the behaviour in full.

03
PBS Plan development

A Positive Behaviour Support Plan is developed collaboratively — reviewed by the participant and support team before being finalised and submitted to the NDIS if required.

04
Implementation and review

We train the support team on the plan, monitor implementation and conduct regular reviews — adjusting strategies as the participant's needs and circumstances change.

Why GenCare

Registered. Experienced. Human rights-focused.

GenCare Behaviour Support practitioners are NDIS-registered, experienced across a broad range of disabilities and committed to a human rights approach. Our PBS Plans are developed with participant involvement, not imposed on them. And our training ensures support teams can actually implement the strategies — which is where most PBS Plans fail.

Behaviour Support

We had two previous behaviour support practitioners who both wrote plans that just sat in a drawer. GenCare actually trained all his support workers — they came to our home and showed us how to use the strategies in real situations. Within three months the incidents had halved. That's what a real behaviour support plan looks like when it's actually implemented.

FAQs

Behaviour support questions answered

Covering PBS Plans, restrictive practices, assessments and how to refer.

NDIS Behaviour Support is a Capacity Building support that funds a registered practitioner to assess behaviours of concern, develop a Positive Behaviour Support Plan and provide ongoing support to reduce those behaviours and improve the participant's quality of life. It is funded under the Improved Relationships support category.
A Positive Behaviour Support Plan (PBS Plan) is a written document developed by a registered practitioner that explains the function of the participant's behaviours of concern, and sets out preventive strategies, teaching strategies and response strategies for the participant's support team. PBS Plans must be updated regularly and are submitted to the NDIS where they involve regulated restrictive practices.
Regulated restrictive practices are interventions that restrict a participant's rights or freedom of movement — including physical restraint, chemical restraint, mechanical restraint, environmental restraint and seclusion. Where these are in use, GenCare provides the NDIS-required oversight, reporting and active reduction planning. Our goal is always to reduce and ultimately eliminate restrictive practices.
NDIS participants who have behaviours of concern — or who are subject to regulated restrictive practices — can access Behaviour Support funding. It must be included in your NDIS plan under the Improved Relationships or Capacity Building category. If you are unsure whether your plan includes this funding, contact your Support Coordinator or GenCare directly.
Yes. Training the support team to implement the PBS Plan consistently is a critical part of the process. GenCare practitioners provide practical, hands-on training for support workers and family members — covering the specific strategies in the plan, how to respond to behaviours of concern and how to use preventive strategies effectively.
An Interim Behaviour Support Plan can be developed within days of assessment where there is an urgent need. A comprehensive PBS Plan — which requires a full functional behaviour assessment — typically takes 4–8 weeks from referral to completion, depending on the complexity of the situation and the availability of information from the support team.
Support Coordinators can refer participants via our online referral form at /make-a-referral or by calling 1300-247-788. We respond to all behaviour support referrals within 24–48 hours — urgent and crisis referrals are prioritised. Please include any existing behaviour support documentation in the referral.
GenCare Behaviour Support practitioners work across Melbourne and Sydney, with telehealth options available for participants in other areas. Call 1300-247-788 to discuss coverage in your location.
Yes. Many GenCare participants receive behaviour support alongside SIL, Daily Personal Activities or Community Participation — the consistency of having the same provider across services significantly improves outcomes because support workers already know the participant well and are trained in the PBS Plan.
For immediate safety concerns, call 000. For urgent behaviour support referrals where there is significant risk, call GenCare directly on 1300-247-788. We treat crisis referrals as a priority and can have a practitioner engaged within 24 hours in most cases.
