What is Behaviour Suppports funding?

Behaviour Supports Funding (Category 20) is a NEW funding category was released with the roll out of the new NDIS online PACE system, however these supports were previously funded under the 'Improved Relationships/Relationships' budget. The aim of these supports is to help you develop positive behaviours and interact with others. Providers who provide behavioural intervention must meet the NDIA Guidelines in order to provide these supports. It requires a behaviour support plan to be developed that aims to limit the likelihood of behaviours of concern developing or increasing once identified.

This category appears in the NDIA myPlace portal as 'CB Behaviour Supports'.

Supports provided under this category must be AGENCY managed and delivered by a Participant Endorsed Provider, this is NDIS registered providers only.

Supports the NDIA may fund (if related to your disability)

Intensive behaviour intervention - for older participants (with plans that started before Nov 2023) - this will still be funded under 'Improved Relationships' until your current plan is renewed.
Specialist behaviour and intervention supports (for harmful or persistent behaviours of concern and use of restrictive practices where necessary) - for older participants (with plans that started before Nov 2023) - this will still be funded under 'Improved Relationships' until your current plan is renewed.
