How It Works
Getting started with New Dawn Therapy
Reach out
Call, email, or fill out our referral form. Tell us a little about what you or your family are looking for, whether that's behaviour support, therapeutic supports, or psychotherapy and counselling.
A no-pressure conversation
We'll have a short chat to understand your goals, your NDIS plan (self-managed, plan-managed, or agency-managed, we work with all three), and whether you have an existing referral or need help figuring that out.
We match you with the right practitioner
Based on your needs, we connect you with a clinician who specialises in that area, whether that's a functional behaviour assessment, ongoing counselling, or specialist behaviour support intervention.
Support begins, on your terms
Sessions happen wherever works for you, home, school, or in the community. You'll receive clear, practical plans and reports, not jargon-filled documents that sit in a drawer.

Practice Principles
Specialist Behaviour Support Intervention
Positive Behaviour Support is a framework that helps individuals and families improve their quality of life. Sometimes people engage in behaviour that's unsafe or unhelpful - for themselves, others, or those around them. Using applied behaviour analysis, person-centred care, and trauma-informed practice, our behaviour support practitioners work with you and your support network to:
-
Complete a functional behaviour assessment and provide a report
-
Develop an interim, then comprehensive, behaviour support plan
-
Provide tailored training for your support network
-
Deliver specialist behaviour support intervention directly with the client
-
Advocate for greater awareness and understanding in the community
Therapeutic Supports
Therapeutic supports help participants aged 7 and up build the skills they need to take part more fully and independently in everyday life - from communication and personal care, to mobility, movement, and connecting with their community.
Whether it's a short-term boost or ongoing support, we work with you to strengthen the abilities that matter most, so you can live at home with confidence and stay engaged in the activities and community you care about.
Areas we support:
-
Language and communication
-
Personal care and daily living skills
-
Mobility and movement
-
Interpersonal interactions and social skills
-
Community participation
Clinical Supervision for Behaviour Support Practitioners
Behind every quality behaviour support plan is a practitioner who's supported, reflective, and confident in their practice. We provide clinical supervision to behaviour support practitioners across the sector - helping you meet your professional obligations while strengthening the way you work with participants and their support networks.
Our supervision is grounded in applied behaviour analysis, person-centred practice, and trauma-informed care, and is delivered by experienced senior practitioners who understand the realities of frontline behaviour support work.
We support practitioners at every stage - Core, Proficient, and Advanced - under the NDIS Practice Standards and Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework.
