Serving Frankston & City of Frankston

NDIS Behaviour Support in Frankston

Frankston is one of the areas we work in directly, alongside Frankston North, Frankston South, and Carrum Downs. However you found us, the first conversation is free and there’s no pressure to commit to anything.

Good behaviour support has to fit the person and the home, not the other way around. We take the time to understand what’s actually happening across the whole week before we suggest a single strategy.

What Behaviour Support Looks Like in Frankston

Behaviour support begins with curiosity: communication, sensory needs, health, routines, relationships, trauma history, and environmental triggers. We turn that understanding into a plan the people around the participant can actually use, not a document that sits in a drawer.

For a family in Frankston, this might mean:

• Mapping the triggers behind aggression, property damage, running away, shutdowns, or refusal
• Building replacement skills such as requesting a break, using visuals, tolerating change, or communicating pain
• Creating simple scripts and routines for mornings, transitions, community outings, and personal care
• Helping schools in Frankston and City of Frankston use the same proactive strategies, language, and escalation steps as home
• Reviewing what’s working over time and adjusting the plan as the participant grows or circumstances change

NDIS Funding & Early Childhood Support in Frankston

City of Frankston falls within the NDIS Bayside Peninsula region. Behaviour Support is commonly funded under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living. Local Area Coordination for Frankston is provided by your allocated Local Area Coordinator. 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 Frankston can also access Frankston City Council's free Maternal and Child Health service for developmental checks alongside NDIS Early Childhood supports

Not sure what’s in your NDIS plan, or who your allocated Local Area Coordinator is for your area? Book a free consultation — we’ll explain your options in plain language.

Who We Work With in Frankston

Himani works with NDIS participants and families across Frankston, Frankston North, Frankston South, and Carrum Downs. We commonly support:

• Children under 7 accessing Early Childhood supports through Frankston City Council's free Maternal and Child Health service and the NDIS, including children without a formal diagnosis
• School-aged children with autism, ADHD, developmental delay, anxiety, or communication differences
• Young people with trauma histories, emotional regulation challenges, or behaviour that affects school participation
• Adults living with family, independently, or in supported accommodation in Frankston who need consistent support plans
• Parents, siblings, carers, and support workers who need coaching, not judgement
• Support coordinators seeking a responsive Behaviour Support Practitioner for a participant in Frankston

School and Community Collaboration in Frankston

Where school or community access is affected, we focus on practical collaboration — teacher consultation, support worker coaching, visual supports, transition planning, or clear escalation pathways.

Telehealth and In-Home Support

Sessions can be arranged around school hours, work commitments, and support worker shifts, with telehealth available across Frankston and neighbouring Frankston North and Frankston South for families who’d rather not add another trip to the week.
