About Badr Behaviour Support

A specialist Positive Behaviour Support practice grounded in evidence, guided by values, and built around the people we serve.

Full moon — Badr
"Badr — full moon. Full presence. Full light. For the people we serve."
Who We Are

A specialist practice built around the person behind the behaviour

Badr Behaviour Support is a specialist NDIS Positive Behaviour Support practice operating across Australia. We are a dedicated practice of Badr Wellness Collective — focused exclusively on delivering the highest standard of behaviour support to NDIS participants with complex and diverse needs.

"Behaviour does not occur in a vacuum. It is shaped by environment, history, communication, relationships, and unmet needs. Our job is to understand it — completely and without assumption."

Badr Behaviour Support is newly established as a registered entity — but the expertise behind it is not new. Our practitioners bring over 10 years of direct experience in the disability and mental health sectors, working alongside participants with intellectual disability, autism, acquired brain injury, dual diagnosis, and complex communication needs.

Our practitioners hold advanced postgraduate training in mental health and neuroscience — equipping the practice with a distinctive depth of understanding of the neurological, psychological, and developmental factors that shape behaviour. This goes beyond standard behaviour support training and directly informs the quality and rigour of our assessments and plans. We do not just write plans. We understand the person.

We are building Badr Behaviour Support because we believe there is a better way — more person-centred, more transparent, and more genuinely focused on lasting quality of life outcomes. That belief has been formed over a decade of practice.

Our NDIS registration application is currently being processed. All pricing, once registration is confirmed, will be in accordance with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Guide ↗.

Our Approach

Evidence-based. Person-centred. Whole-person.

Our approach to Positive Behaviour Support is shaped by three commitments that run through everything we do — from the first referral call to the final progress report.

🔬
Grounded in Evidence

Every assessment, plan, and strategy we develop is rooted in current behavioural science, applied behaviour analysis, and the NDIS PBS Capability Framework. We do not follow hunches — we follow the evidence. That means rigorous functional behaviour assessments, clear behavioural hypotheses, and plans built on what the data actually tells us.

🌕
Genuinely Person-Centred

Person-centred is one of the most overused phrases in disability services. For us, it means concrete things: we conduct assessments in the participant's natural environments, not just in offices. We involve the participant in every decision that affects them. We listen to families. We never develop a plan in isolation and present it to a family as a fait accompli. The participant is the author of their own support.

🧠
Neuroscience-Informed

Our practice is informed by an understanding of how the brain shapes behaviour — how neurological differences, trauma, sensory processing, and mental health intersect with the behaviours we observe. This depth of understanding — drawn from formal training in neuroscience and youth mental health — gives our assessments and plans a level of insight that goes beyond standard behaviour support practice.

Clinical Expertise

What our practitioners bring to your team

Our practitioners combine advanced postgraduate training in mental health and neuroscience with extensive real-world experience in the disability sector — bringing a depth of expertise that equips us to support participants across a wide range of presentations, settings, and levels of complexity.

🎓
Postgraduate Training in Mental Health

Advanced postgraduate-level training in mental health — equipping our practitioners with a deep understanding of the emotional, psychological, and developmental factors that shape behaviour. This includes proficiency in trauma-informed care, emotional regulation frameworks, risk assessment, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches relevant to people with disability and complex presentations.

🧬
Neuroscience Foundations

Graduate-level study in neuroscience — providing a rigorous understanding of how brain structure, function, and development shape behaviour, communication, and emotional regulation in people with disability.

💼
10+ Years in Mental Health & Disability

Over a decade of direct practice working with people with disability and complex mental health presentations — across community, residential, and supported living settings.

📋
PBS Capability Framework Aligned

Practice fully aligned to the NDIS PBS Capability Framework — with skills and experience spanning functional behaviour assessment, plan development, restrictive practice oversight, and carer training.

Calm, reflective practice
Our Values

The principles that guide every plan, every assessment, every interaction

01
Dignity is non-negotiable

Every person we support deserves to be treated with unconditional respect — regardless of their disability, their behaviour, or the complexity of their needs. Our plans never compromise a participant's dignity in the name of convenience or compliance.

02
Least restrictive, always

Where restrictive practices are involved, our starting point is always elimination. Every strategy we develop aims to reduce and ultimately remove restrictive practices — never to normalise or entrench them. Restriction is a last resort and a temporary measure, not a permanent solution.

03
Behaviour is communication

Behaviours of concern are rarely random. They serve a function — communicating an unmet need, expressing discomfort, responding to an environment that does not fit the person. Our assessments are designed to uncover that function, not suppress the behaviour in isolation.

04
Evidence over assumption

We do not make assumptions about why a behaviour occurs. We observe, assess, collect data, and consult with everyone who knows the participant before drawing any conclusion. Assumptions in behaviour support are dangerous — they lead to plans that do not work and people who are not truly understood.

05
Partnership, not prescription

Participants and families are not passive recipients of our plans. They are co-authors. Every strategy we develop has been discussed, questioned, and refined with the people who will live it every day. A plan that families do not understand or believe in will never be implemented effectively.

06
Transparency in everything

We communicate clearly and honestly — about timelines, about what our assessments find, about what is working and what is not. Support Coordinators and Plan Managers can rely on our reports to be accurate, timely, and written in language that is genuinely useful to everyone involved.

Working With Others

PBS works best as part of a coordinated team

Badr Behaviour Support does not work in isolation. Effective PBS requires close collaboration with every provider, professional, and person involved in the participant's life.

🗂️
Support Coordinators

Responsive communication, timely reports, and active participation in planning meetings — we are a BSP that Support Coordinators can rely on.

🏥
Allied Health

We collaborate with OTs, speech pathologists, psychologists, and GPs to ensure our PBS plans are integrated with the participant's full allied health team.

🏡
Implementing Providers

We provide structured training and ongoing coaching to all implementing providers — including Badr Support Services ↗ — to ensure consistent plan delivery.

👨‍👩‍👧
Families & Carers

Families and carers are central to our practice — not peripheral. We invest time in genuine partnership with the people who know the participant best.
