Our story
Circles of Support Plus was founded by practitioners who had spent years inside the disability, child protection and mental health systems and had seen the same pattern too many times: a person labelled "challenging", a support team running on adrenaline, and a plan nobody had read.
We started with a simple conviction. Behaviour is communication. When a person's behaviour is understood as a message about what they need, the response changes from managing them to supporting them. Everything we do follows from that.
From our base in Canberra we support children, young people and adults face-to-face across the ACT and surrounding NSW, and Australia-wide by telehealth/online. We are an NDIS Registered Specialist Behaviour Support Provider (Provider ID 4053372503) offering Specialist Behaviour Support alongside a broader range of therapeutic services, assessments, training, early intervention and specialised programs. Our Practitioners still do the work themselves rather than only supervising it.
Our mission
“Behaviour is communication, and people thrive when they feel seen, understood and supported.”
Embracing Diversity, Empowering Lives
Why we exist
Circles of Support Plus was built to meet a genuine gap in the community support sector: providing Specialist Behaviour Support and therapeutic services that are practical, evidence-informed and designed to be implemented across the environments where people live, learn and receive care.
We work with children, young people and adults whose needs may involve behavioural complexity, emotional regulation difficulties, developmental delay, disability, trauma experiences, psychosocial vulnerability and involvement with multiple service systems.
Our approach draws on the NDIS Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework, therapeutic and developmental research knowledge, trauma-informed practice and safeguarding principles.
We recognise that effective support requires an understanding of the whole person, including their communication, relationships, culture, environment, experiences, strengths and existing support networks.
We work collaboratively with individuals and the people involved in their daily lives to develop practical strategies that promote safety, independence, participation and meaningful, sustainable change.
How we work
Our approach guides every service we provide – from behaviour support and therapeutic services to assessments, mentoring, training and implementation.
Functional assessment and data drive every plan. When the data says change course, we do.
We assume a history we may not know about, and prioritise safety, choice and trust.
The person's goals lead, and their voice is in every plan we write.
Respectful, responsive practice with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, CALD and LGBTQIA+ communities.
We do not set out to make anyone "normal". We set out to make life work.
NDIS Commission compliant, transparent reporting, and honest conversations about what is and isn't working.
