Autism Association 2022 Annual Report

Positive Behaviour Support Service

Short Breaks for Children (Respite) Short Breaks provides a home away from home where children 6 to 18 years old can stay on weekends or school holidays to do the things they enjoy, explore friendships, and build confidence and independence. Short Breaks are provided in a range of ways, either at one of our homes in the suburbs, at the child’s own home, or through our community support programs.

The Positive Behaviour Support service supports individuals aged 6 years and over with complex needs who are living at home with their family. The team is multidisciplinary and works closely with individuals and families to support them to achieve positive outcomes.
