How can Positive Behaviour Support help me or my family member?

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based framework designed to improve everyday wellbeing, independence, and relationships. Rather than viewing behaviours in isolation, we focus on understanding unmet needs and teaching practical skills, helping individuals communicate effectively, engage with their community, and thrive across daily life.

What is your 'constructional approach' to behaviour support?

A constructional approach means we concentrate on building, not merely reducing. Instead of asking 'how do we stop this behaviour?', we ask 'what skills, supports, relationships, and environments does this person need to live a fulfilling life?'. When positive skills and appropriate environmental supports are established, behaviours of concern naturally decrease.

Do I have the right funding in my NDIS plan?

Most behaviour support services are funded under the Improved Relationships (Capacity Building) category of your NDIS plan. We support self-managed, plan-managed, and NDIA-managed participants. If you are unsure whether your plan includes this category, we can help you review your details.

Do you offer private consultations or organisational support?

Yes. In addition to NDIS-funded supports, we provide specialist consultation services for schools, care providers, and community organisations through private payment at a rate of $200 per hour.

Where do your sessions take place?

We design our services to fit seamlessly around your life. Consultations and assessments can be delivered at home, at school, within day programmes, in community settings, at our clinic, or via telehealth across Sydney and the Central Coast.

Will you collaborate with our existing support team?

Absolutely. Meaningful progress happens when strategies are practical and consistent. We work closely alongside support workers, allied health clinicians, teachers, day programmes, and family members to ensure everyone is equipped with the right strategies and shared goals.

What are the steps to book an initial appointment?

Getting started is simple:

  1. Enquire: Contact us via phone, email, or our website form.
  2. Consultation: We discuss your goals, support needs, and funding fit.
  3. Paperwork: Complete our intake and service agreements.
  4. Booking: We match you with the right clinician and schedule your initial assessment.
  5. First session: We meet to get to know you, understand what is important, and build a collaborative support plan.

How is Sense Allied Health different from other providers?

We combine expertise in behaviour support, autism, neurodevelopmental conditions, and mental health with an empathetic, constructional philosophy. We don't believe in restrictive or reactive fixes; we invest in long-term capacity building, person-centred respect, and authentic quality of life.
