Gippsland & VIC wait times
Current wait times, straight from our live list
This table syncs automatically with the Victoria section of our central wait times page, so what you see here is what our intake team sees. Your time on the waitlist begins once we receive a signed service agreement, not from the date of referral.
A realistic figure for a region this large, and still a fraction of the 12+ months many Gippsland families are quoted elsewhere. We take referrals only where we genuinely have capacity, so the date we give you is a date we can hold.
Your time on the waitlist begins once we receive a signed service agreement, not from the date of referral. Times are general and can vary weekly.

How to get started
From enquiry to support, in five steps
Enquire or refer
Call 1300 824 930 or submit the referral form. Not sure about capacity in your suburb? Request a capacity check first.
Service agreement
Once your referral is accepted, we send a service agreement and forms. Your place on the waitlist begins when the signed agreement is returned, and every line item is agreed before delivery, as set out on our pricing page.
Assessment & planning
Your allocated Gippsland practitioner conducts observations and assessments, then develops your NDIS Behaviour Support Plan grounded in a full understanding of the behaviour.
Implementation coaching
We coach families, schools and SIL staff to deliver the strategies themselves, because our role is intervention coaching, and PBS works when everyone is on the same page.
Review & adjust
Data-driven reviews keep the plan effective, with updates whenever needs change, and at least every 12 months for any plan containing a regulated restrictive practice.
Our Gippsland team
The practitioners behind the plans

Positive Behaviour Support in Gippsland, answered
What is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)?
Positive Behaviour Support is a way of working with people with mental illness and disabilities to improve their life with positive strategies and by addressing challenging behaviours. It focuses on understanding why a person behaves the way they do, then meeting those needs through communication strategies, environmental changes, meaningful relationships and better access to activities the person enjoys.
What suburbs do you service in Gippsland?
We cover Gippsland, from Warragul and Drouin through the Latrobe Valley and Sale to South Gippsland, Wilsons Promontory, Bass Coast and the Lakes. The full suburb list is in the areas we service section on this page, and our capacity request form confirms your exact suburb within one business day.
How long is the wait for behaviour support in Gippsland?
Our current Gippsland wait times are published live on this page, synced with our central wait list. Your time on the waitlist begins once we receive a signed service agreement. Times are general and can vary weekly, so we recommend a customised capacity check for your suburb.
Which part of my NDIS plan pays for Positive Behaviour Support?
Funding is usually drawn from Capacity Building - Improved Relationships, which covers specialist behavioural intervention support including assessment hours, report writing and ongoing coaching. In some cases Improved Daily Living or Core funding can be used. Our intake team checks your plan and outlines the most efficient use of funds.
Do you work in Gippsland schools?
Yes. We deliver positive behaviour support for learning in mainstream and specialist schools across Gippsland and Victoria, including teacher coaching, classroom observation and data-led workshops, aligned with each school's wellbeing framework and Victorian Department of Education requirements.
Can you write a Behaviour Support Plan for autism?
Yes. Many of our practitioners have postgraduate study in autism and have developed hundreds of comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans for autistic participants, using neuro-affirming approaches throughout.
Can PBS help with trauma-related behaviours?
Yes. Our approach is trauma-informed, and many practitioners are specifically trained in trauma-informed practice. Practitioners look for environmental triggers, teach regulation skills and collaborate with psychologists so strategies are safe and respectful.
What is the difference between an Interim and a Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan?
A Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan is a detailed document meeting all NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements, including functional assessment findings, proactive strategies and restrictive practice reduction steps. An Interim plan is shorter, used when urgent behaviours of concern need immediate mitigation while the full assessment continues.
How quickly will I see results?
Every participant and family is different, but most families notice early improvements within four to six weeks once strategies are implemented consistently, supported by baseline data, clear indicators and frequent reviews.
How often does a Behaviour Support Plan need to be reviewed?
At a minimum, any plan containing a regulated restrictive practice must be reviewed every 12 months, or earlier if the participant's circumstances change.
Do you provide services outside Gippsland?
Yes. Insight PBS operates across four states. See our Victoria page for every region we cover locally, or explore New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia. If you move interstate, your practitioner coordinates a smooth handover to the next regional team.
