The NDIS Commission gave an update to the Reference Group about their work on behaviour supports.

This includes their work to:

• improve training for behaviour support practitioners to learn new skills

• use less of restrictive practices.

Reference Group members shared that there should be Easy Read versions of behaviour support plans.

This will mean everyone will be able to understand their plan.

Members also shared that people should use co‑design with participants to:

• create behaviour support plans
• use behaviour support plans.

Co-design is when people work together to plan something new.

Members shared people need to understand more about:

• behaviour support plans

• restrictive practices.

This includes sharing more information with:

• participants

• their families

• the community.
