NDIS Positive Behaviour Support in Hobart

PBSG provides NDIS positive behaviour support in Hobart and across Tasmania: practical, trauma-informed support designed to work in the everyday places that matter, including homes, schools, day programs, and the wider community.

We work with participants, families, support coordinators, and support teams to understand why behaviours of concern are happening, and to build clear strategies people can actually use. Rather than trying to stamp out a behaviour, we look for what it is doing for the person, then work out what could meet that need more safely.

Areas we support around Hobart

Availability varies with current capacity. Talk to us about your area and timeframe.

  • Hobart CBD
  • Eastern Shore
  • Glenorchy
  • Kingborough
  • Clarence
  • Northern suburbs
  • Derwent Valley

Greater Hobart spreads along both sides of the Derwent, and a participant's week can move from the CBD across to the Eastern Shore and Clarence, north through Glenorchy and the northern suburbs, or south into Kingborough. We work across these areas and combine in-person and remote support so that the river and the travel time around it don't decide whether someone gets timely help.

Tasmania is a smaller community where consistency really counts, and the people around a participant often work closely together. We collaborate with local schools, allied health providers, and support coordinators so that the same dignity-first strategies follow a person between settings rather than starting over each time.

Beyond Hobart, families across Tasmania (including the Derwent Valley and more remote parts of the state) can find it harder to access behaviour support locally. We extend our reach statewide using remote and telehealth sessions alongside in-person work in Hobart, so that where you live in Tasmania is less of a barrier, subject to current capacity.

FAQs about behaviour support in Hobart

Do you provide behaviour support in person in Hobart?

Where our capacity allows, yes. Some participants on either side of the Derwent prefer a practitioner to come to them; others would rather meet by video and skip the trip across the bridge. We'll work out the mix with you once we know your area and what suits the participant.

Can you support participants elsewhere in Tasmania?

Getting to a behaviour support practitioner is harder once you're outside Greater Hobart, so we deliberately extend statewide by telehealth (reaching the Derwent Valley and more remote parts of the state) and pair it with in-person work in and around Hobart wherever that's workable.

Can families use telehealth if they live well outside Hobart?

Often that's the most practical option in Tasmania, where the next town can be a long drive away. Telehealth lets a participant and their family keep regular contact with the same practitioner without losing half a day to travel, and we'll still come in person for the parts of the work that genuinely need it, capacity permitting.

How quickly can support start in Hobart?

There's no fixed answer. It hinges on what we have free and how involved the situation is. What we will do is get back to you quickly, usually within a business day, and give you a straight account of whether we can begin now or whether you'd be waiting.
