Outcomes Connect Australia delivers NDIS Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) services in Western Sydney, supporting children and adults with disability to live safer, more fulfilling lives. As a leading provider of PBS, we focus on understanding the reasons behind behaviours of concern and developing practical, person-centred strategies that create meaningful, lasting change. Our skilled practitioners work closely with participants, families and support networks to improve quality of life, reduce the need for restrictive practices and support greater independence in everyday life.

How Our Positive Behaviour Support Process Works
Our PBS process is designed to be clear, encouraging and easy to understand, especially for people who are new to the NDIS or changing providers. We focus on building practical supports that work in real-life settings, including the home, school, workplace and community.
As an NDIS provider in Western Sydney, the core of our service is developing and implementing a tailored Positive Behaviour Support Plan. This plan looks beyond the behaviour to understand why it’s happening. We take time to learn about the participant’s strengths, goals, routines, environment and support network.
Our practitioners work closely with the support network of participants to create clear strategies that reduce behaviours of concern, improve quality of life and increase independence. For NDIS participants in Greater Western Sydney, we prioritise practical, accessible solutions that link in with existing supports and everyday routines.

1. Interim Behaviour Support Plan
Timeframe: Submitted within 1 month of service commencement
If restrictive practices are in place, an Interim Behaviour Support Plan is required. It is an immediate, short-term plan put in place while the full behaviour assessment is being conducted. Its purpose is to quickly address urgent risks and provide clear guidance to support the participant and those around them.
This plan focuses on practical strategies that can be implemented immediately. It helps stabilise situations, reduce distress and maintain safety while we complete the full assessment and work towards a comprehensive, long-term Behaviour Support Plan.
2. Functional Behaviour Assessment
Timeframe: Completed within 6 months of service commencement
A Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) is a detailed assessment conducted to understand the reasons behind a participant’s behaviours of concern. Rather than focusing only on the behaviour itself, the assessment looks at what is happening before, during and after the behaviour, as well as the person’s environment, communication needs, routines and supports.
Our practitioners gather information through observations, a review of relevant reports and discussions with the participant and their support network. This thorough process helps identify triggers and unmet needs, forming the evidence base for effective, person-centred strategies that support long-term positive change and improved quality of life.
3. Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan
Timeframe: Finalised within 6 months of service commencement
A Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan is a detailed, individualised plan developed using the findings from the FBA. It clearly outlines evidence-based strategies designed to reduce behaviours of concern by addressing their underlying causes and building the participant’s skills, strengths and independence.
The plan is designed to be practical and easy to implement in everyday settings. It provides clear guidance for families, carers, educators and support workers, and where required, details how any restrictive practices will be reduced and eliminated over time in line with NDIS requirements and best practice.
4. Ongoing Implementation & Support
Ongoing implementation and support ensure the Behaviour Support Plan is applied consistently and effectively across everyday settings. Our focus is on building confidence and capability within the participant’s support network.
This includes:
- Training carers, educators and support workers
Practical training tailored to each role and environment. - Providing visual supports and routines
Clear, easy-to-use tools that support communication, predictability and independence. - Skill development
Supporting the participant to develop new skills and safer ways to communicate their needs across home, school or community settings. - Coaching for consistent implementation
Hands-on guidance to ensure strategies are applied confidently and consistently. - Regular check-ins and monitoring
Ongoing review to track progress, refine strategies and respond to changing needs while maintaining NDIS compliance.
5. Progress Report
Timeframe: Typically due 6–12 weeks before the participant’s NDIS plan review
A Progress Report outlines how the Behaviour Support Plan is being implemented and the progress made over time. It provides clear, NDIS-aligned evidence of changes in behaviours of concern, skill development and overall quality of life.
The report draws on observations, data and feedback from the participant and their support network. It helps inform NDIS plan reviews by highlighting what’s working, what may need adjustment and any ongoing support requirements, supporting continuity of care and informed funding decisions.
The Positive Change PBS Can Create
PBS focuses on creating meaningful, long-term improvements that enhance everyday life for participants and the people who support them.
Common quality-of-life improvements include:
- Improved communication
Participants develop clearer ways to express their needs, choices and emotions, reducing frustration and misunderstandings. - Greater emotional regulation
Support strategies help participants better manage emotions, leading to calmer responses and increased resilience. - Increased social inclusion
With the right supports in place, participants can engage more confidently in relationships, education, employment and community life. - Improved independence
Participants build practical skills and confidence, enabling greater choice, autonomy and participation in daily activities. - Reduced behaviours of concern
By addressing the underlying causes of behaviour, PBS supports long-term reductions in behaviours that impact safety and wellbeing. - Better outcomes for families, carers and support teams
Clear strategies and consistent approaches reduce stress, improve confidence and create more stable support environments. - Reduced need for restrictive practices
PBS prioritises proactive, skill-building strategies that reduce and aim to eliminate the use of restrictive practices over time.
Overall, PBS supports safer, more independent and more connected lives, creating positive change that benefits participants and everyone around them.
