Positive Behaviour Support
Behaviour is communication. True Path Care's trained positive conduct support practitioners work with NDIS participants in Perth and Western Australia. This is to identify what motivates challenging conduct and develop solutions to generate long-term, positive change.
What Is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based framework that addresses the underlying reasons for behaviours of concern, not just the behaviours themselves. It identifies unmet needs, environmental triggers, and communication barriers that contribute to these challenging behaviours.
Under the NDIS, PBS is funded under Capacity Building — Improved Relationships and must be delivered by practitioners registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. True Path Care has registered PBS practitioners based in Perth.
Who Can Benefit?
PBS is suitable for NDIS participants across Perth and WA who display behaviours of concern that affect their safety, well-being, or daily participation. This group includes participants living with:
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Intellectual disability
- Psychosocial disability
- Acquired brain injury
- Complex communication needs
PBS is also required where restrictive practices are currently in use — the NDIS mandates an active behaviour support plan in these situations.

Reducing Restrictive Practices
The NDIS requires that any restrictive practices be authorised, monitored, and actively reduced over time. Our registered practitioners in Perth develop compliant plans that meet all NDIS and WA regulatory requirements — always keeping the participant’s rights and dignity at the centre.
How Your NDIS Plan Can Fund This Support
Under Capacity Building — Improved Relationships, funding may cover the following:
- Functional Behaviour Assessment
- Behaviour Support Plan development
- Implementation support and practitioner visits
- Family and carer training
- Ongoing review and monitoring
- NDIS Commission reporting where required
