Functional Behaviour Assessment Training Australia Wide

Functional Behaviour Assessment Training (FBA)

Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) Training helps staff better understand why behaviours of concern occur and how to identify the underlying function or need behind the behaviour.

This training is designed for disability support workers, educators, allied health professionals, aged care staff, community services, and anyone supporting individuals who display challenging or complex behaviours.

Participants learn how to gather information, identify triggers, recognise behaviour patterns, complete behaviour tracking, and use structured assessment processes to develop more effective support strategies.

The program provides a practical introduction to behaviour assessment and helps staff improve outcomes through more consistent, evidence-based, and person-centred approaches.
