Behaviour Intervention Service

The Behaviour Intervention Service (BIS) is a specialist service of the Department of Ageing Disability and Home Care (DADHC).  We work with people who provide services or care for people with intellectual disability who have challenging or offending behaviours. 

Who we help

We help families, government and non-government agencies that provide support to people with an intellectual disability who have challenging or offending behaviour. They may:

- Live at home
- Live in community settings e.g. group homes
- Be at risk of being moved to a more restricted environment because of their behaviour
- Need help at work, at school or while in custody
- Need support or have families or carers who need support, in planning a move to a less restrictive environment

How we work

We provide consultancy, training and other services to staff in organisations that work directly with clients.  We have:

-  Senior Clinical Consultants - who provide specialist consultation and clinical support to staff of local services throughout NSW
Forensic Casework Specialists - who work with service providers, families and carers when a client is at risk of offending or breaks the law
