For support coordinators
For support coordinators
A behaviour support practitioner with capacity across Canberra and the NSW South Coast, plus telehealth for participants outside that range.
Why refer here
What participants and their support team can expect
Capacity now — no waitlist
I'm currently taking new referrals across Canberra/ACT and the NSW South Coast, plus telehealth — so support can start soon, without a waitlist.
Collaborative, plain-language plans
Interim and comprehensive behaviour support plans are written so the participant, their family and everyone supporting them can actually use them day to day — not just file them away.
Clear communication, realistic timeframes
You'll know what stage things are at and what's coming next, with timeframes that reflect the work involved rather than guesswork.
Works with the whole support team
Plans are built alongside families, support workers and any other providers already involved, so everyone is working from the same page.
How referrals work
Making a referral
Send a referral through the contact form, or by emailing benjamin@benjaminmelody.com.au. Because specialist behaviour support is delivered in partnership with Tranquil Trails Counselling and Therapy, a registered specialist behaviour support provider, the participant's service agreement is set up with Tranquil Trails, arranged through me.
It helps to include:
- The participant's first name and a contact for them or their nominee
- How their plan is managed — agency-, plan- or self-managed
- Plan dates
- The goals relevant to behaviour support
- Any current safety concerns
That's enough to get things started — anything more detailed can wait until a service agreement is in place.
New to referring for behaviour support, or want something to share with a participant? See my guide for support coordinators.
Travel & telehealth
Canberra, the South Coast & telehealth
In-person visits cover Canberra/ACT and the NSW South Coast, with telehealth available for participants outside that range or wherever it simply suits them better.
