Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans
A detailed, evidence-based plan built around the person, not the behaviour. It turns what the assessment uncovered into practical strategies the people around them can actually use, every day.
What is a Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan?
A comprehensive behaviour support plan, sometimes called an individual behaviour support plan, is the long-term, NDIS-compliant plan that follows a Functional Behaviour Assessment. Where the assessment explains why a behaviour is happening, the comprehensive BSP sets out what to do about it.
It’s the long-term outcome of the Positive Behaviour Support process, written for the people who’ll actually use it. Family, carers and support workers should be able to open the plan and know what to do, not wade through clinical language. A comprehensive BSP usually includes:
- A clear picture of the person, their strengths, and what matters to them
- The behaviours of concern, and what’s driving them
- Proactive strategies that make the behaviour less likely to happen
- New skills to build, like better ways to communicate and cope
- What to do if a behaviour occurs, and how to keep everyone safe
- Adjustments across the settings that matter, like home, school and the community
- Where they apply, how restrictive practices are governed and reduced
- Funding recommendations across the NDIS plan, where they’re needed
This is long-term work. Meaningful change usually takes months, not weeks, and a plan that’s used consistently is what makes the difference.
Who this is for
A comprehensive plan is usually the natural next step after a Functional Behaviour Assessment. Here’s who it’s most relevant for.
People whose existing plan needs reassessment
If a current plan isn’t working, or things have changed, we can reassess and develop an updated plan that fits where things are now.
People moving from another provider
If you have a behaviour support plan that isn’t working, or you’ve lost confidence in your current provider, we can reassess and build a plan that genuinely fits. Many of our clients come to us this way.
People with restrictive practices in place
Where restrictive practices are part of someone’s support, a comprehensive plan is mandatory under the NDIS. Ours sets out how those practices are governed and reduced over time.
People in complex or specialist settings
We develop plans for people in homes, schools, supported independent living, forensic and mental health settings, and other environments where the situation is complex and the requirements are higher.

How we develop a comprehensive behaviour support plan
From a finished assessment to a plan that works in everyday life.
-
We start from the assessment findings
The plan begins where the Functional Behaviour Assessment ends. We take what the assessment uncovered about why the behaviour is happening and use it as the foundation so the plan is built on evidence, not guesswork.
-
We build the plan around the person
We write proactive strategies, skill-building goals, and clear guidance for what to do if a behaviour occurs, all shaped around the person’s strengths, the people who support them, and the settings they’re actually in.
-
We work through it with the people who'll use it
A plan only works if the people around the person understand it. We talk it through with family, carers and support workers, answer questions, and adjust anything that won’t work in practice.
-
We support implementation
Because the practitioner who wrote the plan can stay involved, you’re not left to put it into action alone. We help embed the strategies, troubleshoot what comes up, and keep your support coordinator informed along the way.
-
We track progress and reassess
PBS is a long-term process. We monitor how things are going, report on progress, and reassess the plan as the person grows and their needs change.
A comprehensive plan often shows up needs that sit beyond behaviour support, and your NDIS funding doesn’t always match what the person actually requires. We read the whole plan, not just our slice of it, and flag where funding is short so you can take it to your support coordinator or raise it at the next reassessment.
We track how the plan is working through regular progress reports, and where the evidence supports it, we can help build the case for more funding across the NDIS plan. Get in touch and we’ll talk through where you stand

Lasting change starts with understanding why a behaviour is happening. Our careful, evidence-based assessment looks at what's triggering a behaviour and what it's communicating – the foundation everything else is built on for personalised support.

Trusted by families and professionals
A good Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan is the difference between strategies that work and strategies that sit in a folder. Our plans are built to be used.
We had the best services from Faith and Rex from Target Behaviour Support. They were reachable when we needed them and they gave us clear working behaviour strategies on how our team could be efficient. Their reports were timeous and above all they have been consistent. I recommend their services anytime.
We have had the pleasure of working with Faith... and her professionalism, clinical insight, and consistency have been outstanding. She communicates clearly, works collaboratively with support teams, and always keeps the participant’s needs at the centre of her practice.
I have had consistently excellent experiences with Target. They always go above and beyond for their participants and bring a genuine, person centred approach to every single situation. They collaborate so professionally. Communication is clear, timely, and focused on achieving the best outcomes - every time.
From the very start, the support has been outstanding, and our whole family is genuinely happy with how things are going. We really appreciate the dedication and the clear communication, and the difference it's made in such a short time has been remarkable. It's reassuring to finally feel this well looked after.
We've achieved more in just a few months than we managed with our previous providers in years. The commitment and care really stand out, and it's been wonderful to watch the progress and the trust that's been built with our family. They genuinely go above and beyond, and we're so grateful for it.
They're always quick to respond when we reach out, and so understanding and supportive with it. They keep the person at the centre of everything and stay flexible whenever our needs change. Having someone this easy to work with has made a real difference.
Frequently asked questions
A good plan answers a lot of questions before they're even asked. Here are the ones we still hear most often.
What is a Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan?
It’s a detailed, NDIS-compliant document developed after a Functional Behaviour Assessment. It brings together the strategies, skill-building goals and supports that reduce behaviours of concern and improve quality of life, and, where they apply, sets out how restrictive practices are governed and reduced.
Is a Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan required by the NDIS?
Where restrictive practices are in place, the NDIS Commission requires a comprehensive plan. For people without restrictive practices, it’s strongly recommended as the foundation of effective, long-term behaviour support.
How is a Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan funded?
It’s funded under your NDIS plan, usually through Improved Relationships supports. If your current plan doesn’t include the funding, we can help identify what’s needed and provide supporting documentation at your next plan reassessment. At Target Behaviour Services, we’ll look across the whole plan, not just behaviour support.
Can a Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan recommend funding in other NDIS categories?
Yes. One of the things that sets us apart is that our plans include funding recommendations across the categories we can see are needed, not behaviour support in isolation. This has helped many of our clients get the right funding at their plan reassessment.
How often does a plan need to be reassessed?
Plans are reassessed regularly, typically every six to twelve months, or sooner if there’s a significant change in the person’s behaviour, circumstances, or support environment. We monitor progress throughout and update the plan as needs change.
