Our commitment lies in the delivery of personalised, trauma-informed care that fosters inclusion and access to essential services.
Our Services
West Coast PBS and Allied Therapy operate under the NDIS registration groups 0128 and 0110 and offer bespoke services in Perth to Mandurah, and coming soon to the South West. Our registered early practicing, core, proficient and advanced behaviour support practitioners conduct initial assessments, identify and report on restrictive practices, attend quality assurance panels upon request, and create safety response and interim behavior support plans, functional behaviour assessments and comprehensive behaviour support plans, among a wide range of other services tailored to participant needs. Our allied therapy team focuses on improving mobility and facilitating participation within the home and community, with services available in the Perth Metro areas (North, Central & South), as well as Mandurah.
Our Philosophy
We believe in a human rights approach, committed to reducing and eliminating practices that restrict the rights and freedoms of individuals with disabilities. Through collaboration with NDIS service providers, we strive to offer individualised services grounded in evidence-based and strengths-focused practices. Our mission is to empower individuals, enhancing their independence and well-being, while fostering a supportive environment for all.
Our aim in becoming a registered NDIS provider is to deliver ongoing support that is reliable and offer continuity to our participants, establishing ourselves as a trusted local resource.
Why do we do what we do? Simply put, to improve lives and create an inclusive society where everyone can thrive.
