Challenging behaviours can affect a person’s ability to participate in daily life, connect with others, and feel confident in their environment. At MalagaCare, we believe every individual deserves support that is respectful, empowering, and centred on understanding their needs — not their behaviour.

Our Behaviour Support service focuses on identifying the underlying causes of behaviours, promoting positive alternatives, and creating safe, supportive environments. Through calm, skilled guidance, we help participants regulate emotions, communicate effectively, and build skills that improve their overall quality of life.

We work closely with individuals, families, and carers to develop personalised strategies that reduce stress, enhance wellbeing, and support meaningful participation in daily routines. With MalagaCare, you can feel confident that support is delivered with empathy, professionalism, and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience.

Comprehensive Daily Living Support at MalagaCare

At MalagaCare, our Behaviour Support services are designed to enhance emotional wellbeing, safety, and everyday functioning. We work with participants to understand triggers, develop positive coping skills, and build routines that encourage calmer and more confident behaviour. Our support may include behaviour assessments, strategy development, skills training, and guidance for families or carers to help maintain consistency at home and in the community.

We create personalised behaviour support plans that focus on communication, emotional regulation, sensory needs, and reinforcing positive behaviours. By offering structured guidance and predictable routines, we aim to reduce stress and improve everyday participation in activities such as school, work, community involvement, and home life.

With a compassionate and evidence-based approach, our team ensures support aligns with NDIS goals and adapts to the participant’s needs over time. Our aim is to promote growth, safety, and long-term wellbeing in a way that is gentle, respectful, and empowering for everyone involved.

Yes. We develop personalised behaviour support plans aligned with the participant’s needs, environment, and NDIS goals, and we guide families on how to apply the strategies consistently.

No — it is also helpful for emotional regulation, communication difficulties, social skill development, routine building, and reducing stress or anxiety.

Where possible, we aim to provide consistent support so the participant feels comfortable, safe, and supported by someone they trust.
