About Inclusive ActionÂ
Inclusive Action is a specialist behaviour support practice working with NDIS participants and the people around them across Melbourne and Victoria.
Â
That includes families, supported independent living and specialist disability accommodation providers, schools, and support worker organisations. We combine clinical expertise with positive behaviour support that respects each person's autonomy, strengths, and lived experience.
​
We take the time to understand why behaviour happens, then work alongside the whole support network to build strategies that hold up in everyday life: at home, at school, and in the community.
Â
Our practice is neurodiversity-affirming, evidence-informed, and collaborative from the start.
Behaviour support is all we do. That focus is our strength.
Neuroaffirming, always
We start from respect.
Â
Every person's strengths, identity, and lived experience shape the support we provide.
Â
This isn't about "fixing" anyone — it's about meeting genuine needs and improving wellbeing.
Grounded in evidence
Our practice follows the Positive Behaviour Support framework and the PBS Capability Framework.
Â
We don't guess. We understand why behaviours occur, then build respectful, research-backed strategies around the person.
We aim to make ourselves less necessary.
Â
By coaching the families, carers, and support workers around the participant, we create confident support teams and change that outlasts our involvement.
Built to build capacity
Where restrictive practices exist, we work to reduce and remove them over time, in line with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission's requirements.
Â
Your loved one's dignity and freedom matter to us.
Least-restrictive by design
Genuinely collaborative
The people who know the person best – families, carers, and support teams – shape every plan.
Â
We listen first and build with them, never over the top of them
​
- so strategies stay consistent across home, school, and the community.
BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT PRACTITIONER

A specialist behaviour support provider you can trust
We keep the process straightforward – clear communication, plain-language reports, and a plan that everyone around the person can actually use.
Â
Dignity and the least restrictive approach sit at the centre of everything we write
Â
As a registered NDIS specialist behaviour support provider, we operate under the NDIS Practice Standards and the Quality and Safeguards Commission's requirements, with strong in-house clinical governance led by our Director.
​
We're multilingual, too — offering support in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay — because every family deserves care they can understand.
Â
And because we're a mobile service, our practitioners come to you, wherever support is needed most.
