Positive Behaviour Support Supervision, Training & Resources for Australian PBS Practitioners
Welcome to The PBS Practitioner Place — a space for practising and prospective Positive Behaviour Support practitioners across Australia to explore, learn, reflect and grow their practice. Discover practical guidance, resources, professional development and supervision to support you along the way.
When you’re ready to take the next step to get registered or grow in your practice, consider Positive Behaviour Support Supervision with Rebecca Kim, an endorsed Advanced-level PBS Practitioner with immediate availability for practising and prospective practitioners across Australia.
I’m experienced in helping people get started in their careers as a Behaviour Support Practitioner and providing the training and support you need for registration and continual development.
I can help you assess whether you’re ready to submit your registration to the NDIS Quality & Safeguarding Commission, provide case consultation, quality assure your documents, and take your practice deeper so you can reach Advanced or Specialist level.
Our vision is to offer you a place where PBS practitioners can develop their practice without feeling judged, while becoming genuinely more capable and confident.
PBS Support Services
Set up your first supervision or training session and take the next step towards being the practitioner you want to be.
You don't have to book your first supervision with all the answers. Bring the questions about what to do because you’re feeling lost. Bring the difficult case. Bring the draft you're unsure about. Bring the situation you can't quite work out. That's what supervision is for.
Brand new to PBS? You're welcome here too. You don't need to already understand PBS, the Capability Framework, or practitioner registration before getting in touch.
I work with people who are considering becoming a Behaviour Support Practitioner, people preparing for registration, brand-new practitioners finding their feet, and experienced BSPs developing their practice. If you're not sure what you need yet, that's something we can work out together.
The free compatibility check might also be your chance to discover whether becoming a practitioner could be your future career.
Book now to immediately lock in your time, otherwise send us a message to get started or if you have a request or question not answered in our FAQs.

Individual supervision tailored to where you are in your development as a Behaviour Support Practitioner.
Whether you're preparing for registration, brand new to PBS, finding your feet in practice or looking to develop more advanced skills, 1:1 supervision gives you dedicated time to focus on what matters to you.
Sessions can include case discussions, reflective practice, professional development, Capability Framework progression, reviewing your work, working through challenges or simply asking the questions you're not sure who else to ask.
You don't need to come to supervision knowing what you need to work on — we can figure that out together.
-
Bring a friend or up to 2 colleagues to join a supportive space to learn, reflect and develop alongside other Behaviour Support Practitioners.
Group supervision gives you the opportunity to explore practice questions, discuss challenges, hear different perspectives and learn from the experiences of other practitioners — while still having guidance from an experienced PBS Supervisor.
Sessions may include case discussions, reflective practice, professional development, Capability Framework development and shared problem-solving around the realities of PBS practice.
You don't need to be the most experienced person in the room to contribute — sometimes the best learning starts with asking a question.
-
Practical, case-study based training for new and developing Behaviour Support Practitioners.
Whether you're brand new to PBS or looking to strengthen particular areas of your practice, the training is designed to help you understand not just what to do, but why.
You'll work through realistic practice scenarios while developing skills in assessment, analysis, PBSP development, implementation and reflective practice, with learning linked to the PBS Capability Framework.
Training is available through supported sessions or independent learning with review and feedback.
You don't need to know everything before you start — that's what the training is for.
-
Detailed feedback to help strengthen your PBS documentation and develop your skills as a practitioner.
Document reviews can include Positive Behaviour Support Plans, BIPQEII scoring and feedback, Professional Development Plans, and other documentation prepared for practitioner suitability or PBS Capability Framework progression.
You'll receive practical feedback on what's working well, what could be strengthened, and areas to consider further — so the review supports your development rather than simply checking a document.
PBS Capability Framework portfolio reviews are also available; however, endorsement can only be provided where you are an active supervisee with us.
What You Can Expect from PBS Supervision
Support wherever you're starting from
You don't need to already know what you're doing or what you need from supervision. Whether you're preparing for registration, brand new to PBS, or already practising, we'll start with where you're at.
A safe space
You can bring uncertainty, mistakes, difficult cases, and questions without fear of being shamed. There are no questions you're expected to already know the answer to.
Honest feedback
I'll tell you when something needs strengthening — and we'll work out how to strengthen it.
Clinical reasoning
We won't just look at what you're doing. We'll explore why you're doing it, so you can build confidence in making your own practice decisions.
Practical support
Bring your assessments, plans, reports, ethical dilemmas, restrictive-practice questions or tricky conversations — or simply bring the questions you don't know where else to ask.
Reflective practice
We'll consider your assumptions, your influence on the work, and the experiences of the person you're supporting.
Growth over time
Supervision isn't about knowing everything from the beginning or fixing everything in one session. It's about developing your confidence and capability as a practitioner over time.

Tools to Support Your Practice

This editable Word version of the Professional Development Plan is designed for Behaviour Support Practitioners who want to identify capability development priorities, plan their professional development, and update their plan over time.
If you're preparing a Professional Development Plan as part of your Behaviour Support Practitioner registration, read our guide to preparing your Professional Development Plan for practical guidance on identifying development priorities and completing the document: https://www.thepbspractitionerplace.com.au/new-bsp/pd-plan
![Reflective Practice Tool [Pdf]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a7135f9b55b3a0f14e5c063/0e3f4782-fd62-4476-a287-a5c173a1dffc/Reflective+Practice+Tool.png)
The Reflective Practice Tool is designed to help Behaviour Support Practitioners reflect systematically on experiences from their practice and identify learning that can inform what they do next.
It can be used independently, during supervision, or as a structured debriefing tool with others. Good reflection isn't always comfortable, but the aim isn't to judge your practice — it's to understand what happened, what you can learn from it, and what you might do differently next time.
Not sure when or how to use reflective practice? Read this article for Behaviour Support Practitioners for practical examples of how this tool can be used: https://www.thepbspractitionerplace.com.au/exp-bsp/reflection
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.
Good PBS practice takes more than knowing the theory. Sometimes it helps to have the right tool in front of you.

Why We Do This
I've been where you are.
I've worked in disability support, coordination, leadership and PBS. I've been the practitioner learning how to make sense of complex situations, and I've supervised practitioners as they've developed their own practice.
My experience spans frontline disability support, service coordination and leadership through to Positive Behaviour Support practice, clinical leadership and practitioner supervision. That experience shapes the practical guidance, resources and supervision available throughout The PBS Practitioner Place.
Supervision shouldn't leave you wondering whether you were “good enough.” It should leave you with a clearer understanding of your practice and what you can do next.
