When behaviour puts the person, or others, at risk
Aggression, self-injury, or property damage that’s hard to keep on top of. We assess what’s driving it and build strategies that bring everyone’s safety back.
Who We Support
Support for challenging behaviours
Aggression, self-injury, property damage, leaving without warning – when behaviour reaches this point, every day can feel like you're keeping everyone safe and little else. The behaviour itself is rarely the real problem. It's a signal, and once you understand what it's saying, things can change.
We're here when you're ready
What challenging behaviour support actually involves
Challenging behaviour support is a clinical approach that treats behaviours like aggression, self-injury, or property damage as communication – a sign of a need that isn’t being met – and changes the supports and environment around the person so the behaviour has less reason to happen.
It works by finding the function behind the behaviour: what’s setting it off, what it achieves for the person, and what would meet that need a better way. We then build practical strategies the people around the person can actually use, whether at home, at school, at work, or in care. It’s never about control or consequences. It’s about understanding the person well enough that the hard moments start to ease.
For some people that means safer days and fewer crises. For others it’s being able to stay in a placement, a classroom, or a job that was at risk. The change is real, and it’s built to last.

When challenging behaviour is putting someone at risk
Families come to us at all different stages. Some just starting to ask questions, others already knowing support is needed and wanting to understand the best way forward. Wherever you are in that journey, here’s where we help most.
When restrictive practices need reviewing
A practice is in place and needs proper oversight and a plan to reduce it. We assess, document, and work to lower reliance on it over time, carefully and safely.
When previous plans haven't worked
The plan you have isn’t shifting the behaviour. We reassess from the ground up to find what earlier support missed.
When support is needed in high-intensity settings
Supported accommodation, community, forensic, or correctional environments with real complexity. We have the experience and compliance to work within them.
When you're managing it all on your own
No plan, no specialist, and the hard moments keep landing on you. We step in with proper assessment and strategies the whole support team can use.
Mark SProactive, efficient, and always willing to help however they can. Whenever something comes up they’re straight onto it, and you can tell they genuinely care about getting it right.
How challenging behaviour support works with us
A clear, steady process built around the person and the safety of everyone involved. Here’s what working with us looks like.
-
We understand the person and the behaviou
We take time to understand the person, including what they’re like, what they need, and what’s happening around the hardest moments. No two situations are the same.
-
We find the function behind the behaviour
Through a functional behaviour assessment, we work out what the behaviour is achieving for the person and the need it’s meeting, so support targets the cause rather than the symptom.
-
We build safe, practical strategies
The plan is written for real life and the people in it — family, support workers, teachers. Where a restrictive practice is involved, it’s carefully governed, with a clear plan to reduce it over time.
-
We stay as things improve
Meaningful change usually takes months, and we’re there for it ,adjusting what’s working and keeping everyone aligned. Our clinicians stay for years, so the person keeps the practitioner who knows them.
Whether you’re a family or referring a participant, we’ll respond within 24 hours, with no waitlist.
Why families and referrers choose us for challenging behaviour
Complex, high-risk behaviour needs a specialist team that has seen it before. Here's why families and referrers trust us with it.
-
We accept complex and high-risk referrals
Aggression, self-injury, restrictive practices, forensic involvement. The cases others decline are our everyday work, so no one is turned away when support is hardest to find.
-
All ages, every setting
From children at school to adults in supported living, we match the approach to the person and the environment ,so support fits the life they actually live.
-
Our clinicians stay, and so do your outcomes
Low turnover means the person keeps the same practitioner who knows their situation — relationships that hold through the hard stretches.
-
Zero NDIS audit non-conformities
Our documentation, reporting, and restrictive-practice oversight meet the highest standard — so you can trust the support is being done properly.
What families and professionals say
The people who know our support best – families living through the hard days and the professionals who refer to us.
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
Common questions about challenging behaviour support
Does a participant's NDIS plan need to include behaviour support funding?
Yes. Positive behaviour support is funded through the Improved Relationships support category of an NDIS plan. If a plan doesn’t currently include this funding, contact us. We can help explore the options and, where appropriate, provide a Letter of Recommendation to support a plan review.
How do I get started if I'm not sure where to begin?
The easiest first step is to contact us through our enquiry form. We’ll talk through the person’s situation and advise on whether challenging behaviour support is likely to be the right fit – there’s no commitment at this stage.
Can you support adults with challenging behaviours, or only children?
Both. We support people of all ages, with the approach tailored to each person’s age, needs, and setting, from children at school through to adults in supported accommodation, work, and the community.
The behaviours are severe. Will you still take the referral?
Yes. We accept referrals across the full complexity spectrum, including aggression, self-injury, and behaviours others have declined. Complex and high-risk cases are exactly what we’re set up for.
How long before we start seeing improvement?
Meaningful change isn’t immediate, and the person you support deserves support that holds. Improvement usually builds over months, and depends on the person, the behaviour, and the environment – we set realistic expectations from the start.
