PBS Practitioner Resources

Practical resources for Behaviour Support Practitioners

The PBS Practitioner Place provides practical tools and templates designed to support Behaviour Support Practitioners across different stages of their practice. These resources cover areas including professional development, supervision, reflective practice, caseload management and assessment against the PBS Capability Framework.

Many of these resources have been developed from my experience as a Behaviour Support Practitioner, Clinical Lead and Supervisor, with the aim of turning PBS requirements and good practice into tools practitioners can actually use in their day-to-day work.

Management Tools
Practical resources to support caseload management, service delivery and the quality of PBS practice.

PBS Capability Framework
Tools to support capability assessment, portfolio review and practitioner development against the PBS Capability Framework.

Supervision
Resources to help practitioners and supervisors set goals, structure supervision and track development over time.

Professional Development
Templates and tools for identifying development priorities, planning professional development and recording progress.

Behaviour Support Plan: Quality Assessment Report

The Behaviour Support Plan: Quality Assessment Report is a practice-support tool for Behaviour Support Practitioners who want to critically review the quality of a Behaviour Support Plan (PBSP). It may be useful for practitioners reflecting on their own plans, supervisors supporting practitioner development, and practitioners developing their skills in reviewing and endorsing the work of others.

The report brings together key components from the NDIS Commission checklists for Interim and Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans and the BIP QEII quality evaluation tool, alongside prompts for professional reflection, a summary of findings and recommendations for improvement. See our article talking through how to tell if a PBSP is good quality: https://www.thepbspractitionerplace.com.au/exp-bsp/pbsp-quality-check

It is designed to support structured professional judgement and reflection on PBSP quality rather than replace NDIS Commission requirements or organisational quality assurance processes.

Caseload Manager

The Caseload Manager is a practical tool for Behaviour Support Practitioners who want to better understand the demands of their current caseload and consider whether it is sustainable.

The template provides quantitative information that can help you examine your caseload, but numbers alone can't tell you whether a caseload is manageable. Complexity, practitioner capability, travel, organisational expectations, available support and the changing needs of participants can all matter too.

Use the Caseload Manager as one source of information alongside your professional judgement and broader context. For more guidance, read our article on what a sustainable PBS caseload looks like: https://www.thepbspractitionerplace.com.au/new-bsp/pbs-caseload
