Local NDIS Registered Provider — Positive Behaviour Support Across Greater Perth — Children, Teens, Adults
Looking for a Behaviour Support Practitioner in Perth?
Everyday Independence provides NDIS positive behaviour support across Perth for children, teenagers and adults with disability. Our behaviour support practitioners work alongside individuals, families and support teams to improve quality of life, increase independence and help people participate more fully in everyday life.
As a community-based provider, our behaviour support practitioners support people in their homes, schools, workplaces and communities. By delivering support where everyday life happens, we gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing behaviour and develop practical strategies that create lasting change.
A behaviour support practitioner works with children, teenagers and adults with disability to understand the reasons behind behaviours of concern and identify positive ways to meet their needs.
Positive behaviour support focuses on improving quality of life, increasing participation and reducing the need for restrictive practices. Rather than focusing only on behaviour, practitioners consider a person’s environment, communication, relationships, routines and daily experiences to understand what may be contributing to behaviours of concern.
At Everyday Independence, our behaviour support practitioners come from a range of professional backgrounds, including social work, occupational therapy, mental health nursing and developmental education. This means we can match you with a practitioner whose background, training and experience best align with your goals and support needs.

Looking for a behaviour support practitioner in Perth?
Yes. Everyday Independence provides positive behaviour support across Perth for children, teenagers and adults with disability. Our behaviour support practitioners work alongside individuals, families and support teams to improve quality of life, increase independence and reduce behaviours of concern.
What is a Behaviour Support Plan?
The journey to enjoying more everyday life activities begins with creating an individualised Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plan. We’ll collaborate with you and your trusted support team to ensure we’re all working towards a unified purpose, focusing on building capacity.
A PBS plan will be developed (within 30 days of your assessment if unauthorised restrictive practices are used) to share, review, and regularly update with your support team. On occasions where a restrictive practice is in place, the plan will be sent to the relevant states and territories’ Office of the Senior Practitioner for authorisation and the NDIS commission for monitoring the use of the restrictive practice.
We’ll help everyone involved understand the plan and how to use it in everyday life.
What are restrictive practices?
Restrictive practices are any interventions or practices that restrict the rights or freedom of movement of a person. They’re used in response to a behaviour of concern and should always be considered as a last resort. Sadly, they are being used to manage the behaviour of people with disabilities, and can be extremely distressing. Our highly trained team of behaviour support practitioners are committed to reducing and eliminating the use of restrictive practices, so that people’s dignity and independence is regained, and quality of life is improved.
Under the NDIS, certain restrictive practices are regulated, which means they must be authorised by the State or Territory in which the person lives and monitored/ reported to the NDIS Commission of Quality and Safeguards. Restrictive practices include chemical, physical, environmental, and mechanical restraints, and seclusion.
When should I consider behaviour support services?
You may consider behaviour support services when behaviours of concern are impacting a person’s quality of life, relationships, participation, safety or independence. A behaviour support practitioner can help identify contributing factors and develop practical strategies to support positive change.
How do I find a behaviour support practitioner in Perth?
Simply contact our team to discuss your goals and support needs. We’ll help you understand your options and connect you with the right behaviour support practitioner for your circumstances.
What NDIS funding do I need for positive behaviour support?
To access positive behaviour support services, you’ll need funding under Improved Relationships or Behaviour Support in your NDIS plan. This enables us to deliver evidence-informed specialist behaviour support focused on reducing behaviours of concern and restrictive practices, while promoting increased community participation.
If this funding isn’t currently in your plan, you may be eligible for our Improved Daily Living programs. These programs help reduce moderate behaviours and build healthy, sustainable habits in everyday life.
