Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports - Public Holiday

Line Item Description

Line item 01_454_0138_1_1 provides funding for Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports Public Holiday, delivering essential therapeutic support on public holidays. The primary goal of behaviour support is to understand the underlying reasons for a participant's behaviour, find alternative ways to meet their needs, and reduce and manage behaviours of concern over time.

Core Support Activities
Funding under this item is used to create and implement positive behaviour support strategies using evidence-based practice. Key activities include:
* Developing the participant's skills, such as learning how to show they are hungry or upset without using behaviours of concern.
* Making necessary changes to the participant's environment, like introducing regular routines or soft lighting.
* Providing the support team with specific guidance about the best ways to support the participant.
* Delivering positive behaviour support training for a family member, friend, or carer so they can effectively use the strategies.

Provider and Compliance Requirements
To ensure safety and quality, the delivery of this support is strictly regulated:
* Behaviour support must be provided by professionals with specialist skills in behaviour support.
* Providers who use 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.
