Person-Centred Behaviour Support in Canberra

Person-centred behaviour support in Canberra that reduces restrictive practices, understands unmet needs, and promotes dignity, autonomy, and meaningful quality of life.

Because every "behaviour" has a meaning

We provide person-centred behaviour support grounded in trauma-informed, dementia-informed, and human-rights-based practice. We recognise that behaviours are a form of communication and work to understand the whole person—history, health, environment, clinical indicators, relationships, and unmet needs—rather than treating behaviours in isolation.
Our clinically led approach reduces and prevents restrictive practices, enhances quality of life, and supports participants to live with dignity, choice, and autonomy. We work alongside families, support workers, and providers to implement practical, ethical strategies that are sustainable in everyday care.
We also support NDIS and SAH providers with SIRS notifications, restrictive practices reporting, and quality improvement, partnering with organisations to actively reduce and, wherever possible, eliminate restrictive practices.
