Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports - Weekday Night

Line Item Description

Line item 01_455_0138_1_1 allocates funding for Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports Weekday Night, providing essential therapeutic support during evening and night hours. The primary aim of this behaviour support is to understand the underlying reasons for a participant's behaviour, find safe ways to meet their unaddressed needs, and reduce behaviours of concern over time.

Core Support Activities
Funding under this line item is used to implement positive behaviour support strategies using evidence-based practice. Key activities include:
* Developing the participant's skills so they can communicate their needs, such as showing they are hungry or upset, without relying on behaviours of concern.
* Making adjustments to the participant's environment, which can include modifying lighting or establishing regular routines.
* Providing the support team, family members, or carers with guidance and positive behaviour support training about the best ways to support the participant safely.
* Developing, monitoring, and reviewing behaviour support plans to ensure they consistently meet the participant's goals and improve their quality of life.

Provider and Compliance Requirements
To ensure safety and regulatory compliance, strict guidelines govern the delivery of this specific support item:
* The support must be provided by professionals who possess specialist skills in behaviour support.
* Providers who deliver intensive and complex behaviour supports must be registered NDIS providers.
* All interventions must align with the legislation and policy frameworks set by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
