Positive Behaviour Support

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred, evidence-informed framework used to understand and address behaviours of concern by improving a person’s overall quality of life.

PBS is a person-centred approach that aims to improve quality of life and promote independence by understanding why an individual may display behaviours of concern. Rather than focusing on the behaviour of concern itself, PBS looks at an individual’s needs, preferences, and environment to identify positive and proactive ways to support them.

By working collaboratively with individuals, families, and support teams, PBS helps develop strategies that encourage meaningful participation, build skills, and reduce barriers to wellbeing. The approach is based on respect, dignity, and evidence-based practice, ensuring that each person receives support tailored to their unique strengths and goals.

PBS improves outcomes by focusing on understanding the underlying reasons for behaviours of concern occurring and addressing the factors that influence it. By taking a proactive, person-centred approach, PBS helps individuals develop new skills, increase independence, and access meaningful opportunities within their communities.

Through tailored support strategies, PBS can:

  • Enhance quality of life and overall wellbeing
  • Reduce behaviours of concern by addressing unmet needs and environmental triggers
  • Improve communication, social skills, and emotional regulation
  • Increase participation in education, employment, and community activities
  • Strengthen relationships with family members, carers, and support professionals
  • Promote dignity, choice, and control, empowering individuals to achieve their personal goals.

Ultimately, PBS supports people to reach their full potential, fostering greater independence, inclusion, and quality of life.

“It was great to see everyone communicating with him and having a professional relationship. And the atmosphere in the home has also been very relaxing and welcoming…”

“I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful weekend we had, with the wedding on Saturday and a family gathering at our house on Sunday…We would like to say the staff did a superb job on the day of supporting him and we could not have asked for more…to have our three sons together looking so smart and happy was a very proud moment.”
