Positive Behaviour Support Training (PBS)

Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Training provides staff with the practical skills and knowledge needed to better understand, prevent, and respond to behaviours of concern. This training can be delivered as a standard program or tailored to the needs of an individual participant, organisation, team, or workplace setting.

PBS training is ideal for disability support workers, educators, allied health professionals, carers, team leaders, and frontline staff supporting children, young people, and adults with intellectual disability, autism, psychosocial disability, trauma backgrounds, or complex needs.

Participants learn how to understand why behaviours occur, identify triggers and warning signs, use behaviour tracking tools, improve communication, and implement proactive support strategies.

This training also provides a strong foundation before progressing into more advanced programs such as Ethical Response Safety Training (ERST), Restrictive Practices Training, or Behaviour Support Practitioner development.
