VISION - MISSION - VALUES

---

•  Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centered approach that emphasises enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) framework. It focuses on understanding the reasons behind challenging behaviours and implementing proactive strategies to promote positive behaviour and skill development. PBS involves collaboration among individuals, families, and stakeholders to create tailored interventions that foster independence and social inclusion. Ultimately, the goal of PBS is to empower individuals, ensuring they lead fulfilling lives while reducing the occurrence of challenging behaviour, increase autonomy, choice and control, and reduce or eliminate the use of restrictive practices.  

• Physiotherapy focuses on improving mobility and overall function, assisting with mobility that aims to maximise independence and function. Physiotherapists aim to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by developing personalised treatment plans, and ensuring compliance within the context of WHS.  Looking at various seating options, equipment and assistive technology to meet individuals' specific needs and goals. Our physiotherapy team have >15 years of experience in complex seating assessment, wheelchair prescriptions and working with severe physical disabilities - severe limits of physical functioning, mobility, and dexterity.
  Ultimately, physiotherapy within the NDIS framework supports individuals in achieving their maximum potential and participating fully within their communities. 

• Occupational therapy (OT) is client-centered, assisting individuals to develop, recover, and maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. In the context of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), OT focuses on enhancing individuals' independence and quality of life by addressing functional challenges related to their disabilities. Therapists collaborate with participants and their supports to create personalised intervention plans that may include skill development, environmental modifications, and the use of assistive technologies. Ultimately, occupational therapy aims to empower individuals and build independence. 

• Delivering Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) through tele practice. We connect with you and your support team using:
• Video conferencing (with or without video)Telephone calls
• Text messaging or email
• Chat-based platform
• This flexible approach increases access to behaviour support for people in rural and remote areas, complements in-person services, and ensures continuity of care when face-to-face sessions aren’t possible.

• Under the NDIS, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is transforming how we support individuals with disability involved in the justice system—reducing restrictive practices and promoting safer, person-centred outcomes.
  
  NDIS supports people with disability who are:
  • In custody or detention
  • On bail, parole, or community orders
  • Under forensic or therapeutic leave
  With help from Justice Liaison Officers, PBS becomes part of reintegration and risk management planning.
  
  PBS is especially effective for people with:
  • Disabilities
  • Mental health conditions
  • Trauma or forensic history
  It helps identify triggers, teach safer behaviours, and support emotional regulation—enhancing safety for all.  

At West Coast PBS & Allied Therapy, our Social Work services are delivered in full alignment with the NDIS standards. Our qualified Social Workers use evidence-based approaches to build capacity, strengthen wellbeing, and support participants to achieve their goals.

We assist with self-care, mental health, relationships, communication, identity exploration, daily living skills, and building strong support networks. Every intervention is linked to the participant’s NDIS goals and outcomes framework, ensuring supports are reasonable, necessary, and compliant with NDIS requirements.

As a multidisciplinary service, our Social Workers collaborate closely with PBS practitioners, therapists, support coordinators, and families to ensure participants receive holistic, high-quality, and person-centred support.
