Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports - Weekday Daytime

Line Item Description

This line item, 04_450_0125_1_1 Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports - Weekday Daytime, is a highly specialised service typically funded through the NDIS Core Supports budget, often used for Assistance with Daily Life or Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation supports.

Purpose and Target Group: This support is for participants with complex behavioural needs who frequently display behaviours of concern that significantly impact their quality of life, independence, or the safety and wellbeing of themselves and others. It is intended for individuals who require a high level of intensive, ongoing support and intervention.

Support Delivery: The support focuses on the implementation of a participant's comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan (BSP), which must be developed by an NDIS Commission-approved Specialist Behaviour Support Practitioner. The delivery involves:

Implementing proactive strategies and interventions designed to understand the reasons behind a person’s behaviour and find ways to meet their unmet needs.

Providing frequent or daily support, including skill development and prompt response techniques, to reduce and manage behaviours of concern over time.

The support team is required to be fully trained and operates with a person-centred approach.

In situations where all other strategies have failed, the support may include the safe, ethical, and fully compliant use of authorised regulated restrictive practices, which are applied only when necessary to minimise risk and are subject to state/territory authorization and NDIS Commission oversight.

Coverage: This specific code is for the provision of these intensive supports during the standard Weekday Daytime hours.
