Provider travel - non-labour costs

When to use this code

Use this code for specialist positive behaviour support. A qualified behaviour support practitioner assesses the participant’s needs, develops a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP), and works with the support team to implement strategies. This is particularly relevant for participants with behaviours of concern that require a structured, evidence-based approach.

Common billing scenarios

• A behaviour support practitioner conducts a 2-hour functional behaviour assessment with a participant. The provider claims 2 units at $1.00.
• A practitioner develops a Behaviour Support Plan over 8 hours of combined assessment, consultation, and report writing. The total hours are claimed against this code, split across face-to-face and non-face-to-face time.

Provider notes

• Capacity Building funding is time-limited and goal-oriented. Document how the support contributes to the participant’s plan goals, as this will be reviewed at plan reassessment. Unlike Core funding, Capacity Building budgets are usually not flexible across categories.
• Behaviour support practitioners must be registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission if the participant has regulated restrictive practices in their plan. All Behaviour Support Plans involving restrictive practices must be lodged with the Commission.
