An NDIS Behaviour Support Plan is a structured document designed to help participants reduce behaviours of concern while improving quality of life, independence and community participation. These plans are developed by registered Specialist Behaviour Support Providers using evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support strategies.
Important: Janalli Services no longer provides NDIS Registered Specialist Behaviour Support (0110) or formal Behaviour Support Plans. Matthew now offers private Behaviour Consulting, helping individuals and families with emotional regulation, behaviour coaching, practical strategies and everyday skill development. If a formal Behaviour Support Plan is required, we recommend engaging a registered Specialist Behaviour Support Provider.

What Is an NDIS Behaviour Support Plan?
A Behaviour Support Plan is a personalised support document designed to help NDIS participants improve quality of life, build positive skills, strengthen independence, and reduce behaviours of concern through proactive and person-centred strategies. Under the NDIS, Behaviour Support Plans are developed to better understand a participant’s support needs, communication styles, routines, environmental factors, and personal goals while focusing on positive and practical support approaches. Behaviour Support Plans are typically created using a Positive Behaviour Support approach that focuses on improving wellbeing, emotional regulation, participation, and everyday outcomes rather than simply responding to behaviours themselves.
Why Are Behaviour Support Plans Important?
Behaviour Support Plans are important because they help participants build positive skills, improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen independence, and create safer and more supportive everyday environments.
A personalised behaviour support plan can also help participants:
- Improve daily routines and structure
- Strengthen communication skills
- Build emotional regulation strategies
- Increase confidence and independence
- Improve social participation and community involvement
- Support positive relationships with families and support teams
- Promote greater independence in everyday life
By focusing on person-centred and proactive support strategies, Behaviour Support Plans aim to encourage long-term positive outcomes that align with each participant’s individual goals, strengths, and support needs.
Who May Benefit from a Behaviour Support Plan?
Behaviour Support Plans may benefit NDIS participants who require additional support to improve emotional regulation, communication, independence, social participation, and everyday routines.
Participants who may benefit from behaviour support planning can include individuals living with:
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Intellectual disabilities
- Psychosocial disabilities
- Emotional regulation challenges
- Communication difficulties
- Behaviours of concern affecting daily life or participation
Behaviour Support Plans are always designed around the participant’s individual strengths, goals, routines, preferences, and support needs using a person-centred approach that focuses on positive outcomes and quality of life improvements.
What Does a Behaviour Support Plan Include?
A Behaviour Support Plan is tailored to the participant’s individual goals, strengths, routines, and support needs. While every plan is different, most Behaviour Support Plans may include:
- Participant strengths and positive skills
- Behaviour support goals and desired outcomes
- Positive behaviour support strategies
- Environmental and routine considerations
- Communication approaches
- Emotional regulation supports
- Review and monitoring processes
- Strategies that support independence and participation
- Strategies to improve quality of life
These areas work together to support positive outcomes, improve quality of life, and encourage greater independence through person-centred support approaches.
Behaviour Support Plan vs Positive Behaviour Support

| Includes practical support recommendations | Focuses on understanding behaviours and support needs |
