MEET YOUR PRACTITIONER
Blake Gannon is the founder and lead Behaviour Support Practitioner at Pathways Allied Health, bringing a psychosocial lens and genuine commitment to rural communities. He is currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours).

FAQ
-
Positive Behaviour Support is funded through your NDIS plan. If you're not sure whether you have funding for this, let us know during your referral and we can help you check. Our fees align with the NDIS pricing schedule.
-
We accept plan-managed, agency-managed and self-managed NDIS participants.
-
Blake reviews every referral personally and will respond within 2 business days to discuss next steps, capacity, and availability.
-
Once we've reviewed your referral, we'll be in touch to talk through the participant's needs, confirm funding and availability, and arrange a first session. We will discuss the process in depth during this initial session to ensure you are fully aware of what to expect from your practitioner.
-
Both. We see participants in person across the Tweed Coast, Northern NSW, and Gold Coast, with rural and remote outreach by agreement. Telehealth is available Australia-wide and delivered to the same standard as in-person sessions.
-
An FBA looks at why a behaviour is happening before recommending what to do about it. We use observation, conversations with the people who know the participant best, and a review of existing reports. Most Behaviour Support Plans start here.
-
All ages.
-
Yes. Anything you share as part of a referral or during our work together is handled in line with the NDIS Code of Conduct and Australian Privacy Principles, and is only used to provide your support.
-
Rural and remote outreach is a core part of what we do, with travel arranged by agreement. If you're outside our regular service area, telehealth is also available and delivered to the same standard.

For Families & Carers
Reaching out for behaviour support can feel like a big step - especially if you've had experiences where your loved one's behaviour was managed rather than understood. That's not how we work.
We start by listening: to you, to your family member, and to the people who know them best. Every plan is built around what matters to them - their strengths, their relationships, and what a good life looks like from where they sit. You'll be part of every step, not handed a plan to implement on your own.
Start a Referral - or email us at blake@pathwaysalliedhealth.com.au if you'd rather talk it through first.
For Support Workers & Allied Health Professionals
If you're supporting someone who'd benefit from a functional behaviour assessment, a behaviour support plan, or team training on de-escalation and trauma-informed approaches, we work alongside your existing team rather than around it. Get in touch and we'll figure out where we can add the most value.

Whether you're a participant, carer, support coordinator, or allied health professional - we'd love to hear from you.
