We meet you where you are - not the other way around

Support works best when it reflects real life. By meeting you in your everyday environment we gain a deeper understanding of what truly impacts you. This allows us to create a holistic approach that is grounded in the real world - your world.

We want to give you real world strategies, not just theory on a page, so you can actually achieve your goals in a safe, person centred way. Because lasting change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens where life happens.

If you are looking for behaviour support that puts you first and gives you real world strategies ...

📞 Reach out to our team on 1800 800 560 to discuss how we can support you. Because Caring is a Matter of Action.

In my role as a Behaviour Support Practitioner in Alice Springs, I’ve learned that meaningful change happens when we look beyond the individual and work with the whole family. Behaviour doesn’t exist in isolation it’s shaped by relationships, routines, and environments. Every plan I create is grounded in collaboration, cultural respect, and family-driven strategies because lasting outcomes come from working together.

Receiving Runner-Up in the Early Years category feels like recognition for the collective effort - not just mine, but the families, schools, and communities who walk this journey with me. It motivates me to keep advocating for culturally responsive practices and to share what works in remote settings. Every child, every adult, deserves support that honours who they are.

- Sam

🎉 What a proud moment for our team!
Last Thursday, our incredible Behaviour Support Practitioner, Sam, was honoured as Runner Up – Promising Early Years Practitioner at ACRRE🏅

After relocating to Alice Springs and stepping in as the only non-FIFO practitioner, she embraced the challenges of a remote and culturally diverse community with compassion and integrity. 💛

Her strength lies in building trusting relationships with clients and families; relationships grounded in cultural safety, understanding and genuine care. Through collaboration with local stakeholders and a values-driven approach to behaviour support, Sam has become a trusted, respected, and positive force for meaningful change.

Congratulations Sam this award is well deserved and we are beyond proud to have you apart of our CPBS team!

Please join us in celebrating Sam.

At CPBS, we start with understanding. Our comprehensive Functional Behaviour Assessments look at the whole person, not just behaviour of concern - so we can create proactive, personalised strategies that improve quality of life. Beyond managing behaviour, we unlock potential and drive lasting positive change.

At CPBS, “Caring is a matter of action.” Understanding the “why” behind behaviour is one of our most powerful actions.

The CPBS Approach

At CPBS, we believe in a person-centred approach. That means we tailor our programs to the needs of the person. We do not expect the person to conform to the pre-set structure of our program. We use a strengths-based approach when designing each person’s individualised programme.

We use a multi-element model, incorporating the best from PBS, ABA and Educational Theory. We believe in taking the strengths from these approaches and combining them to create a powerhouse program to enhance the person’s learning and development.

This specialises in person-centred support, giving the focus person and their families a holistic support. We specialise in complex behavioural support needs via our multi-element framework, inclusive of non-linear behavioural assessment, multi-element Positive Behaviour Support Plan, implementation, training, evaluation and troubleshooting.

At CPBS we believe people are happiest having fun and feeling successful. We design programs to develop individual strengths, build support networks and make strong lasting relationships.
