Positive Behaviour Support Melbourne - CPBS

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.

Our Commitment in Melbourne

At CPBS, we focus on a person-centred approach, helping individuals and families thrive by understanding and addressing the factors that influence behaviours. 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.
  • Consultation and Supervision: Providing expert guidance to carers, families, and professionals.

We work closely with you at every step, ensuring our plans are not only effective but also sustainable.
