Positive Vybes - Behaviour Support

Welcomed news to help protect the people we support and the Behaviour Support field.

🔔 Important update for New Entry NDIS behaviour support practitioners

🔍 We’ve improved our guidance on how suitability is assessed for practitioners delivering, or intending to deliver, specialist behaviour support services. Behaviour support and restrictive practices are considered high risk supports. They require the right skills, knowledge and experience.

What’s changing for New Entry NDIS behaviour support practitioners?

If you’re early in your practice (typically less than six months’ experience), higher levels of supervision and support are required to help you build capability, in line with the Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework: https://bit.ly/3PVVDZD

You may be found not suitable as a New Entry NDIS practitioner if you plan to:

• operate as a sole trader, or as key personnel of a specialist behaviour support provider
• and do not engage a Proficient (or above) NDIS behaviour support practitioner to provide clinical supervision and oversight

What may be required instead:

• additional supervision arrangements and/or
• Proficient (or above) NDIS behaviour support practitioner (minimum two years’ experience) to oversee practice

These requirements may be imposed as conditions on a specialist behaviour support provider’s registration (registration group 0110).

NDIS providers implementing behaviour support plans with regulated restrictive practices are required to report monthly.

Reports must be submitted via the Behaviour Support portal by the 5th business day of each month, even where no restrictive practices were used.

Reporting shows the NDIS Commission how and when restrictive practices are used so we can identify risks, follow up where needed, and reduce unnecessary reliance on these practices over time.

Great update to resource!

We’ve just launched Restrictive Practices and Me, a collection of resources that support meaningful conversations with participants about restrictive practices.

The resources include discussion books in Easy Read and Plain English formats. They can be used to explain restrictive practices in an easy to understand way.

Restrictive Practices and Me was created in collaboration with people with disability, providers, state and territory governments, and the Council for Intellectual Disability.
