What it is

Specialist behaviour support, delivered with care.

Positive Behaviour Support is a specialist NDIS allied-health service for people who experience behaviours of concern.

We start by understanding what the behaviour is communicating — its function — and then co-design strategies that meet the underlying need in a safer, more positive way. The result is a plan that genuinely improves quality of life: fewer crises, more skills, calmer days, and a confident support network around the participant.

EVSS works with children, adolescents and adults across Australia. Our approach is heavily relationship-focused, practical, and collaborative — and every plan is built alongside the people who know the participant best.

What's included

Eight building blocks of every EVSS plan.

Each block is delivered by a qualified Behaviour Support Practitioner — never outsourced, never one-size-fits-all.

Functional Behaviour Assessments

Structured observation, interviews and data — in the real environments where the behaviour happens — to uncover its function.

Interim & Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans

Plain-language plans that anyone can read and use — Interim to get started fast, Comprehensive once the FBA is complete.

Restrictive Practice Reduction

Safe, ethical, evidence-based strategies to reduce restrictive practices — with clear reporting to meet NDIS obligations.

Capacity Building

Targeted goals that grow independence, communication, and quality of life — across home, school and community.

Staff & Stakeholder Training

Hands-on training so the people doing the daily work apply the plan the same way, every shift, every setting.

Emotional Regulation & Skill-Building

Practical, age-appropriate strategies that help participants recognise, name and manage big feelings.

Parent / Carer Collaboration

Families aren't observers — they're co-designers. We work alongside parents and carers every step of the way.

School & Community Support

Attending school planning meetings, classroom observations, and supporting transitions back into community life.

Ongoing Plan Reviews

Plans evolve as the participant grows — we review, refine and report so funding stays aligned with outcomes.

Yes. Safe, ethical, evidence-based reduction of restrictive practices is a core component of every Comprehensive Positive Behaviour Support Plan we deliver — including the reporting required under the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
We come to the participant — homes, schools, SIL settings and the community — across Australia. Telehealth is available where it's the best fit for the participant.
Absolutely. Hands-on training for parents, carers and implementing support teams is built into every plan, so behavioural strategies are applied the same way across every environment.
Most FBAs take several weeks, depending on the complexity of the participant's presentation and how many environments we need to observe. An Interim Behaviour Support Plan is usually in place early so the team has clear strategies while the Comprehensive plan is being developed.
