The purpose of this course is to strengthen the advanced analytical and collaborative skills required to support the assessment and development of Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs) under the NDIS framework. It aims to equip experienced support workers, team leaders, and emerging behaviour support practitioners with the confidence to interpret behavioural assessments, contribute to plan design, and ensure the fidelity of implementation in practice. The course builds on prior learning from Developing an Interim Behaviour Support Plan, moving beyond immediate response planning to long-term, data-driven behavioural support.

Participants will learn how to interpret assessment findings, identify behavioural functions, and apply evidence-based strategies that promote independence and dignity for people with disability. Emphasis is placed on aligning practice with the NDIS (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018, NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements, and Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework. Learners will also gain insight into quality documentation, continuous improvement, and ethical considerations in behaviour support planning.

By the end of this course, learners will understand the key stages of behaviour assessment, data interpretation, and collaborative plan development. They will be able to contribute meaningfully to the creation, monitoring, and review of BSPs that enhance quality of life, reduce restrictive practices, and meet both participant and organisational compliance standards.

Upon completion of this 60-minute training session, learners will be able to:

1. Interpret assessment data to identify behavioural functions, triggers, and maintaining factors.
2. Collaborate effectively with behaviour support practitioners and multidisciplinary teams in developing and reviewing BSPs.
3. Translate assessment findings into measurable, person-centred plan goals that align with the participant’s quality of life outcomes.
4. Apply NDIS compliance principles to ensure plans meet regulatory and ethical standards.
5. Evaluate plan effectiveness through continuous data review, feedback, and adjustment processes.
6. Demonstrate understanding of fidelity and documentation to maintain integrity in plan implementation and monitoring.

Each outcome is designed to link theory directly with workplace application, ensuring that learning translates into improved practice and compliance within NDIS-registered services.
