NDIS Behaviour Support in Broadmeadows

Broadmeadows is one of the areas we work in directly, alongside Dallas, Coolaroo, and Campbellfield. However you found us, the first conversation is free and there’s no pressure to commit to anything.

Broadmeadows families often tell us they want a practitioner who responds quickly and doesn’t disappear after the first assessment. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to — practical support that reduces risk and distress without losing sight of the person.

What Behaviour Support Looks Like in Broadmeadows

For families in Broadmeadows, behaviour support brings structure to situations that have started to feel chaotic. We identify patterns, clarify what helps, and coach the people around the participant so the plan doesn’t sit unused in a folder.

For a family in Broadmeadows, this might mean:

• Assessment for behaviour linked to communication needs, sensory distress, trauma, anxiety, or unmet health needs
• Practical home strategies for Broadmeadows families who feel they’re constantly walking on eggshells
• Positive Behaviour Support approaches focused on quality of life, skill-building, and safety
• Collaborative planning with support coordinators, Link Health and Community, therapists, educators, and informal supports
• Plain-language recommendations that are easier for busy families and teams to follow

NDIS Funding & Early Childhood Support in Broadmeadows

City of Hume falls within the NDIS Hume Moreland region. Behaviour Support is commonly funded under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living. Local Area Coordination for Broadmeadows is provided by Link Health and Community. We support plan-managed and self-managed participants:

• Plan Managed — your plan manager handles all invoicing; no out-of-pocket payments
• Self Managed — we invoice you directly; you claim reimbursement from the NDIS myplace portal
• Early Childhood (under 7) — no formal diagnosis required; families in Broadmeadows can also access Hume City Council's free Maternal and Child Health service for developmental checks alongside NDIS Early Childhood supports

Who We Work With in Broadmeadows

Brave Mental Health works with individuals across the lifespan in Broadmeadows and the surrounding City of Hume area. We support:

• Children aged 2–12 with Autism (ASD), including children adjusting to kinder, school, or new routines in Broadmeadows
• Teenagers with ADHD, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, school refusal, or escalating conflict at home
• Adults with intellectual or developmental disability who need safer daily routines and clearer support strategies

• LGBTQIA+ participants and families who need affirming, trauma-informed support

School and Community Collaboration in Broadmeadows

Many families come to us because the behaviour is most visible at school. With consent, we talk directly to teachers and wellbeing staff so the same calm strategies and early warning signs are used at home and at school.

Telehealth and In-Home Support

All sessions are available by secure telehealth, which is often easier for Broadmeadows families managing work, school pick-up, and support schedules. In-home and community-based sessions may also be available where clinically appropriate.
