About Stars Behaviour Services
At STARS Behaviour Services, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and every family deserves the support they need to create a harmonious, happy home. Families often face challenges that require expert guidance, and that’s where we come in.

We're here to nurture your children and provide support to your family members and caregivers ensuring they are equipped with the right resources and personalised strategies to support your child.
Mission
At STARS, our mission is simple yet profound: to provide services that will foster growth, resilience, and confidence in children while supporting families with compassion and care. We believe that every young person has a potential and we're here to help families develop them.
Vision
We envision a world where every child feels supported in their development and every family feels empowered to create positive, lasting change. Done through our "person-centric" approach to our people.
Our Story
STARS Behaviour Services was founded with one goal: to create a space where families feel supported, understood, and equipped to navigate the complexities of childhood development. Over the years, with our comprehensive range of evidence-based solutions supporting children, adolescents and young adults we’ve grown into a trusted partner for families who need interventions with their behaviour, toilet training, sleep routines, and more.
What sets us apart is not just our expertise but our unwavering commitment to every child’s potential. We take pride in celebrating progress (big and small) and walking alongside families as they achieve their goals.
What sets us apart is also our committment to trauma informed ABA intervention: Practical Functional Assessment and Skills-Based Treatment (PFA- SBT) is an evidence-based approach to addressing behaviours of concern. PFA-SBT focuses on reducing behaviours of concern while placing a high priority on safety, student dignity, and practical application.
It focuses on identifying when children are happy, relaxed, and engaged and subsequently teaching them positive skills to meet their needs while enhancing their safety, wellbeing and participation.
Our Values
Compassion
We treat every family with kindness, respect, and empathy, understanding the unique challenges they face.
