Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour Support
- Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centered approach that emphasises enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) framework. It focuses on understanding the reasons behind challenging behaviours and implementing proactive strategies to promote positive behaviour and skill development. PBS involves collaboration among individuals, families, and stakeholders to create tailored interventions that foster independence and social inclusion. Ultimately, the goal of PBS is to empower individuals, ensuring they lead fulfilling lives while reducing the occurrence of challenging behaviour, increase autonomy, choice and control, and reduce or eliminate the use of restrictive practices.

Building Bridges: WA Justice System & Community Reintegration
- Under the NDIS, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is transforming how we support individuals with disability involved in the justice system—reducing restrictive practices and promoting safer, person-centred outcomes.
NDIS supports people with disability who are:
• In custody or detention
• On bail, parole, or community orders
• Under forensic or therapeutic leave
With help from Justice Liaison Officers, PBS becomes part of reintegration and risk management planning.
PBS is especially effective for people with:
• Disabilities
• Mental health conditions
• Trauma or forensic history
It helps identify triggers, teach safer behaviours, and support emotional regulation—enhancing safety for all.
