Who is Liberty Behavioural Services?
At Liberty Behavioural Services (Liberty), we are dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities overcome the challenges that impact their everyday lives. Our mission is to provide compassionate, personalised behavioural support that empowers participants to live fulfilling lives, surrounded by understanding, care, and connection. Unlike traditional psychology or counselling services, our focus is on helping supports and participants (where possible) to understand and manage their behaviours, which are often expressions of unmet needs or communication difficulties. Through this approach, we aim to foster positive change and create lasting, meaningful improvements for the people we support.
What is Behavioural Support?
Behavioural support is a specialised service that focuses on addressing the root causes of challenging behaviours, which are often a form of communication for individuals with disabilities. These behaviours might signal a need for help, a response to frustration, or an attempt to express something that cannot be easily put into words. For example, a person with autism or an intellectual disability might exhibit certain behaviours to indicate discomfort, anxiety, or confusion. At Liberty, we understand that all behaviour is communication, and through this lens, we work to understand and respond to the specific needs of each individual.
Our role is to provide strategies, alongside education and support that promotes positive behaviour, helping participants to navigate their world in a way that reduces stress and enhances their quality of life.
By addressing the underlying causes of challenging behaviours, we help create safer, more peaceful environments where individuals feel understood and supported. Our approach is about empowering participants to communicate in ways that are effective and respectful.
Who We Serve
At Liberty Behavioural Services, 95% of the NDIS participants Liberty works with have Autism or a cognitive impairment. We understand the unique challenges these individuals face and work closely with them, their families, and their support network to provide tailored behavioural support. The NDIS is a vital resource for many of our participants, enabling them to access the services and assistance they need.
We collaborate with NDIS support coordinators to ensure that each participant receives the care and attention required to meet their goals. From the initial setup of services to ongoing support, our team is there every step of the way, ensuring that participants can make the most of their NDIS funding to improve their lives.
Our Approach
At Liberty Behavioural Services, our approach goes beyond simply addressing behavioural challenges. We focus on restoring and enhancing the quality of life for every participant. We believe in the power of relationships and connection, building strong, capable teams around each individual to provide fast, effective solutions. By creating a supportive, peaceful environment, we can reduce the risks associated with challenging behaviours and help participants feel safe, respected, and valued.
We use evidence-based strategies to understand and manage behaviours, ensuring that participants can thrive in their daily lives. Whether it's through creating routines, introducing calming techniques, or helping individuals develop better communication skills and more effective behaviours, we tailor our approach to the unique needs of each participant. Our goal is to not only reduce risk of harm behaviours but to give participants the tools and support they need to live more independently and confidently.
At Liberty Behavioural Services, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of people with disabilities. Our tailored behavioural support services provide the understanding, care, and strategies needed to address the root causes of risk of harm behaviours, helping participants live more peaceful, fulfilling lives. By working closely with families, support coordinators, and participants themselves, we create personalised solutions that meet each individual’s unique needs. We believe that everyone deserves to be heard and supported—and we are here to ensure that every participant feels seen, understood, and empowered.
Through our holistic approach, Liberty Behavioural Services continues to provide the support and care needed to build lasting, positive change for individuals and their communities.
