What we can help with

Interim, comprehensive and review work

  • Interim planning

    Address immediate support and safety needs while further assessment and information gathering are underway, where required.

  • Comprehensive planning

    Use findings from a functional behaviour assessment to set out proactive support, skill-building and responses tailored to the person.

  • Relevant updates

    Review when circumstances, needs or risks change. An existing plan is not automatically rewritten.

What a practical plan needs to explain

A plan should connect the person’s needs and preferences with everyday support: helpful routines and environments, skills to build, responses when difficulties occur, who will do what and how progress will be reviewed. Recommendations need to be understandable to the people using them.

Writing the plan, helping people implement it and reviewing its use are related but distinct tasks. The practitioner agrees which work is needed, with time and costs explained rather than assuming one document includes unlimited training or follow-up.

What happens next

  1. 01

    Understand the current situation

    Share existing plans, the reason for referral and any known restrictive practices or deadlines.

  2. 02

    Develop the plan collaboratively

    Listen to the person and support team and use assessment information to develop relevant strategies.

  3. 03

    Support implementation

    Explain the plan, coach the people involved and agree how it will be reviewed.

Where support happens

Five Perth clinics, mobile visits in Perth and surrounding areas and suitable telehealth Australia-wide. Your clinician confirms the setting; some assessments need in-person visits.

Common questions

Can you work with a plan from another provider?

Yes, where appropriate. We first consider what is already useful and whether a review or change is actually needed.

How soon will the plan be completed?

Intake and the practitioner confirm the applicable requirements, assessment scope and completion dates. A first appointment date is not the plan delivery date.

What happens after the document is written?

The agreed work may include implementation and training, coaching, monitoring and updates. These help the person and support team understand and use the plan in daily life. See our Positive Behaviour Support service for the wider pathway.

Does a plan authorise a restrictive practice?

No. A behaviour support plan does not replace the separate authorisation, consent, reporting and other safeguards that may apply. The practitioner and any implementing provider have different responsibilities. Discuss existing practices and relevant requirements during intake.
