What are Behaviour Support Practitioners?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a values-led, proactive approach designed to reduce behaviours of concern and improve overall quality of life. It focuses on understanding why behaviours occur and supports individuals with strategies that foster independence, safety, and inclusion.
At Hively Health, our Brisbane-based practitioners create NDIS-aligned PBS plans that are respectful, collaborative, and designed to reduce the use of restrictive practices.
Our Behaviour Support Services in Brisbane
Our PBS services are flexible and responsive, adapting to the goals, needs, and environments of every person we support. Hively Health’s Brisbane behaviour support practitioners offer:
Person-Centred Planning
Functional Behaviour Assessments
Individualised Behaviour Support Plans
Our plans are NDIS-compliant, proactive, and developed to reduce or eliminate restrictive practices.
Consistent Monitoring and Team Collaboration
We maintain regular communication with families, educators, and other professionals to ensure strategies are applied consistently and reviewed as needs evolve.
