In NDIS-funded services, the duties of a Behaviour Support Practitioner typically include:
-
Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA): Observing and analysing the causes of behaviours of concern
-
Developing Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs): These may be interim or comprehensive and aim to teach safer, more functional behaviours
-
Data Collection and Review: Monitoring plan implementation and making data-driven changes
-
Collaboration: Working with families, educators, therapists, and support workers to implement strategies
-
Restrictive Practice Oversight: If restrictive practices are used (e.g. physical restraint, environmental constraints), practitioners must report and minimise them as required by the NDIS Commission
Their work supports children to reach social, emotional, and developmental goals, while also providing caregivers with practical tools for daily life.
