Finding an NDIS behaviour support practitioner in Tasmania can take months. Therapy Scope provides positive behaviour support in Hobart and [surrounding areas], with planned visits and telehealth behaviour support in between.
We write behaviour support plans to Tasmania's current framework, the Disability Rights, Inclusion and Safeguarding Act 2024, so the Senior Practitioner has a clear rationale and reduction plan for every practice.
A functional behaviour assessment covering observation, interviews and data review, to understand why behaviours of concern happen and what helps.
A short-term plan focused on safety, completed within one month of engagement when regulated restrictive practices are in use.
A full positive behaviour support plan with proactive strategies, skill-building, environmental changes and response strategies, completed within six months of engagement.
Clear, realistic strategies to reduce and eliminate restrictive practices, written to meet NDIS Commission and TAS requirements.
Practical training for families, support workers, SIL and day program teams so the plan works in everyday life.
Reviews at least every 12 months, or sooner when needs, living arrangements or support teams change.
Video check-ins, team meetings, data review and coaching between in-person visits across Tasmania.
[e.g. Hobart and southern Tasmania; Launceston by arrangement]
[e.g. In Hobart every [x] weeks]
We’re based in Melbourne, VIC, so in-person work in TAS is planned around these visits, and telehealth keeps support going in between.
We support children, young people and adults with disability whose behaviours of concern affect their safety, relationships or participation, including people with autism, intellectual disability and complex support needs. We work alongside families, guardians, support coordinators, SIL providers, day programs and schools.
After a referral, the participant or their representative signs a service agreement. If regulated restrictive practices are in use, an interim behaviour support plan is completed within one month of engagement and a comprehensive plan within six months. We combine in-person visits in Hobart with telehealth so the work keeps moving between trips.
Send us a referral with consent. We confirm funding, arrange the service agreement through our registered provider, and schedule the first Hobart visit, with telehealth starting straight away where it helps.
An interim plan is due within one month of engagement and a comprehensive plan within six months. Tasmanian authorisations are set by the Senior Practitioner for up to 12 months.
Yes. The Disability Rights, Inclusion and Safeguarding Act 2024 replaced the earlier framework. We work to the current Act, Regulations and Guidelines.
Launceston and the North West can be covered by arrangement, combined with telehealth.
An NDIS Worker Screening Check. [Add Tasmanian Working with Vulnerable People registration status before publishing.]
Behaviour support is delivered under the registration of a registered NDIS provider approved for specialist positive behaviour support (registration group 0110). Your service agreement and invoices will be with that provider, and they manage complaints and incident reporting. We'll confirm the provider's details with you before you sign anything. Therapy Scope coordinates your enquiry, and our practitioner works with you directly.
We do not charge travel time, flights or accommodation for interstate visits to your NDIS plan.
