Most Families Find Us After Being Let Down by Another Provider

If you are searching for a behaviour support practitioner near you in Canberra, something has probably already gone wrong. These are the situations we hear about most.

  • 📋
    A generic BSP that clearly wasn't written for your person.
  • 🔄
    A different practitioner every few months. No continuity, no trust.
  • Months on a waitlist while behaviours of concern are escalating.
  • 🙉
    Restrictive practices in place with no real reduction strategy.
  • 💬
    Reports written for compliance, never used to actually guide the team.

You can change your behaviour support practitioner at any time, no plan review needed. Mango Care handles the full transition so there is no gap in support. Families who switch consistently say the same thing: they wish they had called sooner. 😊

Mango Care is one of the few NDIS registered behaviour support providers in Canberra that conducts in-home assessments and in-home implementation as standard, not as an optional add-on. Our practitioners come directly to the participant's home, SIL accommodation, school, or community setting, because behaviour happens in real environments and that is where the most effective assessments and plans are built. Call 0425 470 546 to discuss availability in your suburb.
Yes. Specialist behaviour support in Canberra is funded under the NDIS Capacity Building - Improved Relationships budget, covering functional behaviour assessments, BSP development, implementation, carer training, and restrictive practice authorisation and reduction. Mango Care is fully NDIS registered in the ACT, meaning all services are directly claimable from your plan at the official NDIS Price Guide rate, no out-of-pocket costs for participants with this funding. Call 0425 470 546 and we will confirm your funding with you free of charge.
Under the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission framework, practitioners must meet one of three proficiency levels: Foundational, Proficient, or Advanced/Specialist. For participants with complex needs or restrictive practices, look for Proficient or Advanced level at minimum. Relevant qualifications include psychology, social work, occupational therapy, speech pathology, special education, or applied behaviour analysis. Also check for current NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, professional supervision, and specific experience with your person's condition, autism, ABI, intellectual disability, or mental health. All Mango Care practitioners meet the Commission's proficiency requirements and are matched to participants based on their specific background and experience.
Behaviour support consultations in the ACT are billed under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. Mango Care charges exactly the NDIS Price Guide rate for all specialist behaviour support services, assessment, BSP development, implementation, and carer training. No admin fees, no report surcharges, no hidden charges. The specific hourly rate depends on the practitioner's proficiency level (Proficient vs Advanced/Specialist) as defined by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Call 0425 470 546 for a written fee breakdown before any work begins.
Specialist behaviour support covers the assessment, planning, and implementation of evidence-based strategies to address behaviours of concern. It is funded under Capacity Building - Improved Relationships and delivered by a qualified behaviour support practitioner. The process runs from functional assessment through to BSP development, implementation, carer training, and ongoing review. Where restrictive practices are involved, the NDIS requires a specialist BSP with a documented reduction plan. Mango Care provides the complete specialist behaviour support service across Canberra and the ACT.
Yes. You can change at any time, no plan review needed. Mango Care manages the full transition from your current practitioner, liaising with your support coordinator or plan manager and ensuring there is no gap in support during the handover. Call 0425 470 546 and we will take it from there.
Yes. Many of our behaviour support participants also access our NDIS Social and Community Participation services. For participants whose behaviours of concern occur most in community settings, having the same Mango Care team deliver both supports creates genuine consistency and far better outcomes. Our Social and Community Participation services follow NDIS defined pricing for hourly rates, no hidden charges, and are available across the full Canberra region. Speak to our team about combining supports.
Where restrictive practices are in place, Mango Care manages full compliance with NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements, including authorisation through the ACT Senior Practitioner, documentation in the BSP, and monthly reporting. Every plan we write includes a genuine, timebound strategy to reduce and eliminate restrictive practices over time. If practices are being used without proper authorisation or a reduction strategy, call 0425 470 546 immediately.
