Behaviour support is one of the few NDIS services that must be delivered through a registered provider, so families and coordinators look hard for practitioners they can trust.

What you need to get started

  • To be found suitable by the NDIS Commission. Until then you can’t complete behaviour support assessments or write plans, even under supervision.
  • To deliver through a registered specialist behaviour support provider (registration group 0110). That can be your own registration as a sole trader, or a registered provider who engages you as a contractor.
  • Solotude verifies NDIS registration for every behaviour support practitioner before they can connect with anyone on Solotude.
  • New to the field? Since April 2026 the Commission has an entry-level suitability pathway with a supervision agreement and a professional development plan.
