Find NDIS Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Practitioners
Finding the right NDIS Positive Behaviour Support practitioner can be a real challenge for many participants and families, particularly when providers have long waitlists, limited availability or specialised service requirements.
This often makes it difficult to access timely, high-quality behaviour support when it is needed most.
MyCareSpace removes the stress of finding the right behaviour support practitioner by doing the leg work for you.
Our Connections Team works Australia wide to connect NDIS participants, families and support coordinators with verified PBS practitioners who have availability now or short wait times.
We Help You Find NDIS Behaviour Support With Availability
MyCareSpace is a national NDIS connection service. We are not a behaviour support practitioner, which means we can search across multiple Positive Behaviour Support organisations and practitioners to find the most suitable match for your needs.
Our connection team confirms availability before connecting you with the right practitioner. We support participants across major cities and regional Australia, helping people get behaviour support without unnecessary delays.
What Positive Behaviour Support Can Help With
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach funded under the NDIS that helps people with disability who may experience behaviours of concern.
PBS focuses on understanding why these behaviours happen and on building practical, proactive strategies to support participation, safety and wellbeing.

Why Finding the Right Behaviour Support Practitioner Matters
Positive Behaviour Support is most effective when it is personalised and grounded in a genuine understanding of the participant’s lived experience.
A skilled PBS practitioner does more than address behaviour. They work respectfully and collaboratively, use evidence-based strategies, and focus on teaching new skills that improve quality of life. Most importantly, they develop clear, well-written Behaviour Support Plans that treat behaviour as communication, helping participants and their support teams create meaningful, lasting change rather than simply responding to behaviours of concern.
This is where MyCareSpace makes a difference. Our Connections Team understands what quality Positive Behaviour Support looks like, including the importance of compliant, practical and person-centred Behaviour Support Plans. We help participants find verified PBS practitioners who align with their goals, needs and location, and who have confirmed availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
PBS aims to improve quality of life, increase independence, reduce distress, and build skills, while reducing the need for restrictive practices.
A positive behaviour support plan typically covers:
• Strengthening positive behaviours and personal interests
• Understanding the causes of behaviour, including the effects of trauma
• Developing proactive strategies to reduce behaviours of concern
• Outlining how to respond when behaviours occur
The plan is a working document that is reviewed and updated regularly as the person's needs and circumstances change.
This saves you time, reduces delays and connects you with the right experts sooner.
Because our team actively confirms availability, we help reduce long waitlists and make behaviour support more accessible.
The cost of therapy services themselves is billed by the provider in line with NDIS pricing arrangements and the participant’s plan. Our role is to help you find the right provider with availability, without adding additional cost or pressure to your NDIS journey.
Once registered, PBS practitioners must also:
• Be supervised by behaviour support practitioners with a greater level of experience
• Provide evidence of their capabilities to the NDIS Commission via a self-assessment
• Maintain their individual registration regardless of whether they work for a registered or unregistered NDIS provider
When using MyCareSpace, you can be confident that the practitioners we connect you with meet these registration requirements.
If a behaviour support plan includes restrictive practices, only a registered NDIS provider can implement those practices.
Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants can choose to use unregistered providers for positive behaviour support, as long as the practitioner delivering the service holds individual registration. Agency-managed participants must use a registered NDIS provider.
PBS involves collaboration with families, carers, support workers and other clinicians to ensure consistent support across environments.
Our service helps reduce delays, supports urgent placements and saves time for busy coordinators.
Specifically, this funding should appear as:
• Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support
• Behaviour Management Plan Incl. Training In Behaviour Management Strategies
Restrictive practices are interventions that restrict a person's rights or freedom of movement, such as physical restraint, seclusion, chemical restraint or environmental restraint. These are regulated under the NDIS and can only be used as a last resort with strict oversight from the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
The goal of positive behaviour support is to reduce and ultimately eliminate the need for restrictive practices. If restrictive practices are currently in place, a behaviour support plan must be developed by a registered PBS practitioner, and only a registered NDIS provider can implement those practices.
