Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports - Weekday Daytime

Line Item Description

Line item 01_450_0138_1_1 allocates NDIS funding for Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports Weekday Daytime, delivering highly specialised, therapeutic support during standard weekday daytime hours. The primary aim of this behaviour support is to understand the underlying reasons for a participant's behaviour, find alternative ways to meet their individual needs, and reduce and manage behaviours of concern over time.

Core Support Activities
Funding under this line item is used to create and implement positive behaviour support strategies utilizing evidence-based practice. Key activities include:
* Developing the participant's skills, such as learning how to clearly communicate they are hungry or upset without relying on behaviours of concern.
* Making changes to the participant's environment, such as introducing regular routines or modifying sensory inputs like soft lighting.
* Providing the support team with specific guidance regarding the best ways to support the participant safely.
* Delivering positive behaviour support training for a family member, friend, or carer to ensure consistency in support.

Provider and Compliance Requirements
To ensure safety and adherence to NDIS standards, the delivery of this support is strictly regulated:
* Behaviour support must be provided by professionals who have specialist skills in behaviour support.
* Providers who deliver intensive and complex behaviour supports must be registered NDIS providers.
* All interventions must be in line with the legislation and policy frameworks set by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
