At The Centre for Positive Behaviour Support Melbourne, we provide evidence-based, person-centred Positive Behaviour Support for individuals, families and carers across Melbourne.

What is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a proven, evidence-based approach designed to:
- • Reduce challenging behaviours by identifying their root causes.
- • Promote positive outcomes, such as independence, improved relationships, and enhanced wellbeing.
- • Provide practical strategies tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

In Melbourne, we take a holistic and collaborative approach, ensuring our services are tailored to the needs of the local community. Our commitment includes:
- Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBAs): Identifying the underlying reasons for challenging behaviours.
- Customised Behaviour Support Plans: Developing practical strategies and goals based on individual strengths and needs.
- Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports (PBIS): Implementing proactive solutions to reduce problem behaviours and enhance skills.
