Welcome To Behaviour Bridge

Behaviour Support That Goes Beyond the Plan

We help NDIS participants reduce behaviours of concern and build positive, meaningful lives — through evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support plans that are actually implemented.

As the only PBS clinic in Perth using the signature B.R.I.D.G.E Behaviour System, we partner with support coordinators, families, and support workers across Perth’s Northern Corridor to make sure every plan gets put into practice.

About Us

Behaviour Support that Fits Real Life

Our approach is built on the B.R.I.D.G.E Behaviour System — our signature 6-step framework that turns complex behavioural science into clear, actionable steps for everyday life. Every strategy we develop is designed to be understood and confidently applied by the people who matter most: support workers, families, and the individuals we support.

This is what sets us apart from other PBS providers in Perth. We don’t just write plans — we bridge the gap between assessment and real-world implementation.

Our Unique Approach

The B.R.I.D.G.E Behaviour System

A 6-step framework that gives support workers and families a clear, consistent way to implement Positive Behaviour Support in real life — so strategies are not just written in a plan, but actually used.

B

Build The Relationship

Trust and connection come first. Support that works begins with understanding the person — their world, their strengths, and what matters most to them.

R

Read The Environment

Behaviour does not happen in isolation. We examine routines, sensory factors, communication needs, and environmental triggers to understand the full picture.

I

Identify The Function

Every behaviour serves a purpose. We identify what the person is communicating or seeking so that strategies address the real need — not just the surface behaviour.

D

Design The Strategy

We create practical, evidence-based strategies that fit real life — easy to follow, respectful of dignity, and focused on building skills and independence.

G

Guide The Team

A plan only works when everyone uses it. We coach support workers, families, and teams to implement strategies with confidence and consistency.

E

Evaluate The Outcomes

We review progress regularly, measure what is working, and adjust strategies to ensure quality of life continues to improve over time.

🤡 Behaviour Support Eligibility

Is Positive Behaviour Support the Right Fit?

Answer 6 quick questions to find out if the person you have in mind is eligible for PBS — and what the right next step is.

Question 1 of 6
Is the person you have in mind a current NDIS participant?
Yes — they have an active NDIS plan
🔄Not yet — they are applying for NDIS or their plan is under review
No — they are not an NDIS participant
Step 1 of 6
Question 2 of 6
Does the person display behaviours of concern that are causing risk or distress?
🔴Yes — significant risk (e.g. physical aggression, self-injury, property destruction, elopement)
🟡Moderate — behaviours are challenging but not immediately dangerous
🟢Mild or none — I'm looking for proactive strategies before behaviours escalate
Question 3 of 6
Is there a team of support workers, family members, or carers involved in the person's daily support?
👥Yes — there are multiple people involved in their daily care and support
🏠Mainly family — parents or family members are the primary support
🧍Mostly independent — they live alone or with minimal support
Question 4 of 6
Does the person have a diagnosis or condition that affects their behaviour or communication?
🤡Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
🧠Intellectual disability, acquired brain injury, or psychosocial disability
📋Other diagnosis (ADHD, complex trauma, dual diagnosis, etc.)
No formal diagnosis or unsure
Question 5 of 6
Has the person had a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) before?
Yes — and it has been helpful
⚠️Yes — but it isn't working or hasn't been implemented properly
🕒No — this would be their first BSP
Question 6 of 6
Does the person's NDIS plan include funding under Improved Relationships (Support Category 07)?
💰Yes — their plan includes Improved Relationships or Behaviour Support funding
🤔Not sure — I'd need to check their plan
📝No — but I think they need it and want to discuss getting it added

This person is a strong candidate for Positive Behaviour Support

Based on your answers, the person you have in mind is likely eligible for PBS under their NDIS plan. They have an active NDIS plan, behaviours of concern, a support team in place, and relevant funding — all the key indicators for a successful PBS engagement.

What to do next: Submit a referral and we'll review it on the same business day.

🤔

PBS is likely appropriate — let's talk it through first

There are some factors that suggest PBS could be a good fit, but there are also some things worth discussing before submitting a formal referral — funding availability, diagnosis clarity, or whether PBS is the right pathway right now.

What to do next: Book a free 30-minute case chat. No obligation — just a conversation to figure out the right pathway together.

↩ Start again
ℹ️

PBS may not be the right fit right now — but we can still help

The person you have in mind may not currently meet the eligibility criteria for NDIS-funded PBS. This could be because they are not yet an NDIS participant, their plan doesn't include the right funding, or their needs are better addressed through a different pathway.

What to do next: Get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.

Experience That Makes a Meaningful Difference

Meet Julianne, Founder of Behaviour Bridge

After years working in Positive Behaviour Support, I kept seeing the same problem: beautifully written behaviour support plans that sat in a folder, never actually used. Support workers didn’t know how to implement them. Families felt overwhelmed. And the person at the centre of it all wasn’t getting the change they deserved.

That’s why I created the B.R.I.D.G.E Behaviour System — a 6-step framework that bridges the gap between a written plan and real-world implementation. BRIDGE gives support workers, families, and teams a clear, consistent language and process for delivering behaviour support in daily life. It’s not just theory. It’s practical, compassionate, and designed for the people who are actually in the room.

Behaviour Bridge exists because I believe every person deserves support that actually works — not just support that looks good on paper.
