Introducing The Behaviour Support People: A New Chapter in Maple’s Purpose
At Maple Community Services, people always come first. Over the years, we have walked alongside thousands of Australians living with disability and behaviours of concern. Families, participants, and support teams have told us the same thing again and again:
“We need support that really understands us.”
It was in those conversations that The Behaviour Support People (The BSP) was created. We wanted this to be a dedicated service created to bring hope, clarity, and genuine change to people navigating challenging behaviours under the NDIS.
The Story Behind The Behaviour Support People
For many families, behaviours of concern feel like the biggest barrier to confidence and independence. Too often, support feels inconsistent, short-term, or disconnected from the individual behind the behaviour. We built The BSP to do things differently. The BSP is not just a team of practitioners. It’s a movement within Maple, grounded in the belief that every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported to live life on their own terms.
That’s why we’re offering something different. The BSP is not just a team of practitioners. It’s a movement within Maple, built on our belief that every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported to live life on their own terms.
Backed by Maple Community Services and guided by NDIS Practice Standards, The BSP delivers Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) across Australia. Our practitioners don’t just write plans. They show up, listen, and walk alongside people and families. Using evidence-based strategies, they reduce behaviours of concern, build everyday skills, and open doors to more fulfilling lives.
Our Person-Centred Approach to Positive Behaviour Support
At The BSP, we don’t treat behaviours as problems to “fix.” We see them as communication, signals of needs, feelings, or experiences waiting to be understood. Our role is to understand, empower, and uplift.
That means showing up consistently, taking the time to listen, and building Support Plans that actually fit into daily life. By combining Positive Behaviour Support with person-centred planning, we build plans that make sense for real people, in real situations. And help individuals and families achieve outcomes that are not only measurable but meaningful and sustainable.
What Positive Behaviour Support Really Means
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is more than a strategy, it’s a philosophy. Recognised by the NDIS, PBS improves quality of life by reducing behaviours of concern through respectful, non-restrictive approaches. It asks important questions: Why is this behaviour happening? What strengths can we build on? How can we create positive alternatives?
At The BSP, our practitioners collaborate closely with families, support workers, and allied health professionals to design strengths-based plans that are not only functional but achievable. Progress isn’t just a tick on a page, it’s the moment a participant feels seen, safer, more confident, and more connected.
