If you are searching for a top-rated NDIS Behaviour Support provider near you, there is more to consider than star ratings alone.
The right provider should be registered to deliver Behaviour Support, have suitable NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioners, understand your individual needs and be able to provide support where you live.
For participants in Greater Western Sydney, Nepean, Hawkesbury, the Hills District and Wollongong, Support Agency is a registered NDIS provider delivering in-person Positive Behaviour Support for children and adults. Support Agency currently displays a 4.8 out of 5 Google rating on its website. These reviews relate to Support Agency as an organisation and are not exclusively reviews of its Behaviour Support service.
Quick answer: If you are looking for an NDIS Behaviour Support provider in Western Sydney or surrounding NSW regions, compare providers based on registration, practitioner suitability, experience, location, approach, availability and participant feedback rather than choosing on star rating alone.
No. The NDIS does not publish an official ranking of the best or highest-rated Behaviour Support providers.
Instead, the NDIS recommends researching providers, asking people you trust for recommendations and checking provider reviews. Participants can also use the NDIS Provider Finder to search for registered providers by suburb or postcode.
This means searches such as:
may produce different answers depending on where you live and what kind of support you need.
A provider that is a great fit for one participant may not necessarily be the right fit for another.
Ratings can be helpful, but they should only be one part of your decision.
Here are some of the most important factors to consider.
Behaviour Support is a regulated NDIS support.
The NDIS explains that specialist behaviour supports must be delivered by registered providers, including when a participant’s funding is self-managed or plan-managed.
When comparing providers, ask:
Support Agency is a registered NDIS provider, Provider Number 4050065456.
It is also important to look beyond the organisation itself and consider the practitioner who will actually be working with you or your family.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission defines an NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner as someone the Commission considers suitable to deliver Behaviour Support under the NDIS.
The Commission also provides a searchable tool for Behaviour Support Practitioners who have consented to having their professional information published.
When speaking with a provider, consider asking:
The relationship with your practitioner can be just as important as the organisation you choose.
Location matters.
Behaviour Support often involves understanding what happens in everyday environments, which may include the home, community and other settings relevant to the participant.
For people searching for local Behaviour Support in NSW, Support Agency provides in-person Positive Behaviour Support across:
Support is available for children, adolescents and adults with disability, including participants experiencing behaviours of concern that affect everyday activities or relationships.
If you are searching around Penrith, the Nepean region, Hawkesbury, Western Sydney, the Hills District or Wollongong, contact the provider first to confirm that your particular suburb falls within its current service area.
Positive Behaviour Support should not simply focus on stopping a behaviour.
It should seek to understand why a behaviour may be occurring, what factors are influencing it and what can be changed to improve the person’s quality of life.
At Support Agency, Positive Behaviour Support may include:
The approach is tailored to the participant’s circumstances, goals and support needs.
Behaviour rarely occurs in isolation.
A good Behaviour Support provider should be prepared to work collaboratively with the people who are important in the participant’s life.
Depending on the participant’s needs, this may include:
Consistency can be particularly important when strategies are being implemented across several environments.
Support Agency’s Behaviour Support model includes collaboration with participants, families, carers and support teams so strategies can be practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online reviews can provide another useful signal when comparing providers.
The NDIS itself recommends checking provider reviews as part of your research.
However, look beyond the overall star rating.
Read the comments and consider whether people mention things that matter to you, such as:
Support Agency’s website currently displays a Google Rating Score of 4.8 out of 5. Because Support Agency provides several NDIS services, these reviews reflect experiences with the organisation overall and should not be interpreted as a rating exclusively for Behaviour Support.
That distinction is important when comparing providers fairly.
If you live in one of our NSW service areas, Support Agency may be an option worth considering.

Our Behaviour Support team works with children and adults to understand behaviours of concern and develop practical, person-centred strategies.

We provide in-person Behaviour Support across:
Greater Western Sydney | Nepean | Hawkesbury | Hills District | Wollongong
This local approach allows our practitioners to work with participants and their support networks in the environments that matter to them.

Our practitioners work with participants and their support teams to develop strategies that are realistic and practical for everyday life.

Before making your decision, speak with more than one provider if you need to.
The NDIS recommends meeting with prospective providers before deciding who you would like to work with.
Ask questions such as:
Are you a registered NDIS Behaviour Support provider?
Specialist Behaviour Support must be delivered through a registered provider.
Is my practitioner considered suitable by the NDIS Commission?
Ask about the practitioner who would actually work with you, not just the organisation.
Do you provide services in my suburb?
Check whether support is available in person and how travel arrangements work.
Do you work with children or adults?
Some practitioners or organisations may specialise in particular age groups.
Do you have experience with my particular support needs?
Discuss your circumstances without assuming that every Behaviour Support provider offers exactly the same experience.
How will my family or support team be involved?
Behaviour Support is often most effective when strategies can be understood and applied consistently by the people around the participant.
What is your current availability?
Ask about commencement timeframes before making your decision. Availability can change, so current information is more useful than an old directory listing.
There is no single provider that will be the best choice for every NDIS participant.
A highly rated provider should combine NDIS registration, suitable practitioners, relevant experience, a person-centred approach, good communication, local availability and support that matches your individual needs.
