NDIS Behaviour Support in Tasmania
There are 45 NDIS Behaviour Support providers listed in Tasmania on AusCareGuide.
NDIS behaviour support, delivered as positive behaviour support (PBS), is for people whose disability is associated with behaviours of concern: behaviour that puts the person or others at risk, or that limits their access to community, housing or relationships. A behaviour support practitioner assesses why the behaviour happens and writes a plan that changes the environment and teaches skills, rather than simply managing the behaviour.

Frequently asked questions
Does the NDIS fund behaviour support?
Yes. Behaviour support is funded from the Capacity Building - Improved Relationships budget where behaviours of concern are related to your disability. It covers a functional behavioural assessment, an interim plan within one month and a comprehensive plan within six months, training for the people who support you, and reviews.
How do I get behaviour support in the NDIS?
Ask for Improved Relationships funding at your planning meeting or plan review, with evidence of the behaviours of concern and their impact, such as incident reports or reports from support workers or a school. Once funded, choose a provider whose practitioners the NDIS Commission has assessed as suitable.
What is the NDIS rate for behaviour support?
The 2026-27 price limit for specialist behavioural intervention support is $252.99 an hour, effective 1 July 2026, up from $232.99 in 2025-26. Providers can charge less but not more if you are agency- or plan-managed.
What are the behaviour support practitioner levels?
The Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework has four levels: core, proficient, advanced and specialist. The NDIS Commission does not endorse a level; it assesses whether each practitioner is suitable. For complex needs or where restrictive practices are involved, ask for a proficient or advanced practitioner.
What is a behaviour support plan?
A document written by a behaviour support practitioner after a functional behavioural assessment. It describes the behaviours of concern and why they happen, the environmental changes and skills that address them, the strategies supporters will use, what to do when the behaviour occurs, and any restrictive practices with their authorisation. An interim plan is due within one month and a comprehensive plan within six.
Are behaviour support providers regulated?
Yes. Behaviour support is regulated by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Providers delivering it must be registered, practitioners must be assessed as suitable, and any regulated restrictive practice must be in an authorised plan and reported to the Commission.
