Providing mobile PBS and Functional Behaviour Assessments to families across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia.

Tired of closed books and 6-month waitlists? Gibelli Positive Pathways has immediate capacity for Specialist Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) across all Melbourne suburbs. Learn about our practitioner-led, mobile-first approach.
Ending the 6-Month Wait: Immediate Specialist PBS Now Available Across Melbourne
For many NDIS participants and Support Coordinators in Victoria, searching for Specialist Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) feels like a cycle of endless phone calls and "closed books." In a landscape where six-month waitlists have unfortunately become the industry standard, timely intervention often feels out of reach.
At Gibelli Positive Pathways, we believe that high-quality, practitioner-led care shouldn’t be a waiting game. We are proud to announce that we are currently maintaining immediate intake capacity for new referrals across all of Metropolitan Melbourne.
Why Quality PBS Matters Now, Not Later
Behaviour support is most effective when it is proactive rather than reactive. When a participant with complex needs is forced to wait months for a Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA), the risks of placement breakdown, school exclusion, or increased restricted practices rise.
By bypassing standard industry delays, we ensure that participants receive the clinical support they need to improve their quality of life today.
Comprehensive Coverage Across Melbourne
We have structured our team to ensure that your location isn't a barrier to receiving expert care. Our practitioners provide 100% mobile outreach, meeting participants where they are most comfortable and where behaviours are most likely to occur:
At Home: Working with families to create supportive environments.
At School: Collaborating with educators to foster inclusive learning.
In the Community: Supporting social participation and independence.
Whether the participant is in the Northern suburbs, the Bayside area, the Eastern reaches, or the Western growth corridors, our team comes to you.
The Gibelli Difference: Integrity Over Volume
Our growth into Victoria is driven by a commitment to clinical integrity. We aren't a high-volume agency; we are a practitioner-led team that prioritizes:
Neuro-Affirming Practices: We focus on understanding the why behind a behaviour, respecting the individual’s identity and rights.
Zero Waitlists: We only accept referrals when we have the immediate capacity to start, ensuring no participant is left in "limbo."
Complex Care Expertise: Our clinicians are experienced in navigating the most complex NDIS profiles with empathy and evidence-based strategies.

What is an FBA? A Parent’s Guide to NDIS Functional Behaviour Assessments
If you have recently received an NDIS plan with "Improved Relationships" funding, you may have heard the term FBA or Functional Behaviour Assessment.
For many parents in Melbourne’s West, this sounds like just another piece of clinical jargon. However, the FBA is actually the most important tool we use to understand your child’s needs and create a pathway toward a calmer, happier home life.
What exactly is an FBA?
Think of an FBA as a "detective investigation." Instead of just looking at what a person is doing (the challenging behaviour), we look at why they are doing it.
Every behaviour serves a purpose. Whether it’s a meltdown at school in Melton or a refusal to get dressed in Werribee, the participant is trying to communicate something. Our job is to translate that communication.
The Three Steps of the FBA Process
At Gibelli Positive Pathways, we break the assessment down into three clear stages:
Information Gathering: We talk to the people who know the participant best—you! We also review previous reports from OTs or Speech Pathologists.
Direct Observation: Our practitioners visit the home or school environment to see the behaviour in context.
The Analysis: We identify the "function" of the behaviour. Is it to avoid a difficult task? To gain attention? Or perhaps to meet a sensory need?
Why is the FBA so important for your NDIS Plan?
Without an FBA, a Behaviour Support Plan is just a guess. Google and the NDIS Commission require a evidence-based approach. A high-quality FBA ensures that:
Your strategies are actually targeted at the root cause.
Your funding is being used effectively.
You have a clear baseline to measure progress over time.
Local Support in Melbourne’s West
We understand that waiting for assessments can be stressful. We prioritize local families in Melton, Werribee, and surrounding suburbs to ensure your FBA is completed thoroughly and professionally, without the long commute to a city clinic.
