🧠 Capacity Building Supports

Skills for life — tailored to the individual

At 3 Minds Qld, our Capacity Building supports are more than just skill-building — they’re about creating lasting change through personalised, collaborative, and inclusive support.

We work with each individual to develop personalised support plans that reflect their goals, strengths, preferences, and needs. These plans are created with the participant and in collaboration with their support networks, families, and other professionals to make sure everyone is on the same page and working toward shared goals.

Our team is trained in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), ensuring that everyone can express themselves and be heard — no matter how they communicate. From visuals and PECS to high-tech communication devices, we support each participant to use their preferred method confidently and consistently.

When needed, we also support the ethical implementation of restrictive practices. This is always done in line with NDIS guidelines, with a strong focus on positive behaviour support, least restrictive options, and team-based planning. We aim to reduce the need for restrictive practices over time through skill development, communication support, and environmental adjustments.

What makes us different:

✅ Truly individualised planning — no one-size-fits-all approach

🤝 Teamwork with stakeholders — including allied health, schools, and families

💬 AAC-trained staff — communication is supported in every session

📋 Positive Behaviour Support informed — working to reduce barriers and increase independence

🌱 Growth-focused goals — helping participants build skills that last a lifetime

🔒 Restrictive Practices – Safe, Ethical, and Collaborative Support

As a registered NDIS provider, 3 Minds Qld is committed to supporting individuals with behaviours of concern in a way that is respectful, safe, and person-centred.

We understand that sometimes restrictive practices may be required to keep someone safe. These practices are only ever used when absolutely necessary and are always part of a Positive Behaviour Support Plan that follows NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission guidelines.

Our approach includes:

📋 Working with approved behaviour support practitioners

🧠 Following behaviour support plans that are person-centred and goal-focused

🤝 Collaborating with families, guardians, and professionals for consistent support

⏳ Regular reviews to reduce and eventually eliminate restrictive practices

💬 Supporting participants with communication tools to express their needs

We believe in building capacity — not limiting it. Through skill-building, communication support, and environmental adjustments, our goal is always to reduce the need for restrictive practices and promote greater independence and choice.
