Positive Behaviour Support in Ringwood
Neuro-affirming, in-person behaviour support for children, adolescents and adults in Ringwood. We come to you, at home or in an agreed local setting, with visits arranged when you enquire.
Support that comes to you in Ringwood
Behaviour is a means of communication, to be listened to, explored and supported. When people are thriving, risky behaviours pop up less.
Mobile appointments and practical planning across the routines and environments you already know. Our service is mobile. We come to you, in your home or local area.
Planet PBS works with children, adolescents and adults with diverse support needs, including neurodivergent and disabled people and those experiencing mental health challenges. Support is shaped around the individual, not a generic program based on their suburb.
Mobile, by arrangement
In-person support is available in Ringwood. You can also ask about an appointment at our Waterman Eastland office in Ringwood. See the contact page for office details.
Suburb and council boundaries can overlap, so please share your address when you enquire.

Choosing between a local visit and an office appointment
Planet PBS has an office space at Waterman Eastland in Ringwood as well as offering mobile support. Discuss whether meeting in your daily environment or at the office would suit the purpose of the appointment; all visits are by arrangement.
Would you prefer a visit in your everyday environment or to discuss an office appointment?
A question you might like to think about before a first conversation. It is a planning prompt only, not an assumption about you or anyone in your area.

Your journey with Planet PBS
Referral
Send a referral online or call us. We will confirm we have received it and let you know the next step.
Getting to know you
We meet at a time and place that suits you, and listen first. Your goals, strengths and preferences lead the way.
Assessment
We observe, gather information and look for the reason behind behaviour, always in consultation with you and your supports.
Plan and strategies
We write a practical plan with strategies that fit daily life, and walk through it with everyone involved.
Training and review
We train the people around you, check what is working and adjust the plan as life changes.
Preparing a referral
You do not need everything ready before you get in touch. If it helps, here is what is useful to gather:
- Your contact details and the address or setting where you would like to meet
- What you hope will change, in your own words or the person’s own words
- How the person communicates, including yes, no, help, stop and needing a break
- Strengths, interests and routines that already go well
- Any existing plans or relevant reports you have (it is fine if you do not have them yet)
- Who else you would like involved, and anything you would prefer to keep private
- Access, sensory, cultural or interpreter needs for appointments
Ask us about NDIS funding, appointment, travel and cancellation arrangements. These are explained before any service begins.
Consent and choice
Your goals lead
Support is organised around what the person wants their life to look like, not someone else’s idea of compliance.
Consent comes first
You decide who takes part and what information is shared. You can ask questions, pause or change your mind.
Behaviour is communication
We listen to what behaviour may be telling us, and work with strengths, preferences and the environment.
Questions about support in Ringwood
Can Planet PBS visit me in Ringwood?
Yes. Planet PBS offers in-person Positive Behaviour Support in Ringwood, including visits at home or in an agreed local setting. Contact us to discuss the purpose of the appointment, accessibility and current scheduling. We do not operate a separate office in every suburb.
What should I include in a Ringwood referral?
Include your preferred visit location in Ringwood, contact details, goals, communication and access needs, and any relevant existing reports or plans. If you do not have all the documents ready, ask us what is needed rather than delaying an initial enquiry.
How are NDIS funding and travel arrangements discussed?
Tell us about your plan and how it is managed so we can discuss the proposed service and funding arrangements. Any appointment, travel and cancellation terms should be explained before services begin. No suburb-specific price or waiting time is promised on this page.
Who can take part in behaviour support?
We support children, adolescents and adults, including neurodivergent and disabled people and those experiencing mental health challenges. With the person’s consent, family, carers and other chosen supports can contribute. Support is shaped around the individual, not a generic program based on their suburb.
