Behavior support for autism families in Sydney
Sydney families know the squeeze: NDIS plans that take months to sort out, behavior support providers with closed books, and a spread-out city where the right clinician is always a bridge or two away. Jess is an Australian Board Certified Behavior Analyst who works with Sydney families online, so the right support is no longer a postcode problem.
Originally from Australia and now based in Canada, Jess schedules sessions to suit Australian Eastern Time, from the Northern Beaches to Penrith and across regional NSW. The parent-led model means the plan lives in your home, not a clinic room.

Funding & support in New South Wales
Jess's coaching and courses are private-pay. Some Australian families use self- or plan-managed NDIS funds toward parent training and capacity-building supports where their plan's rules allow; check with your plan manager or support coordinator. The free discovery call costs nothing and will help you map your options.
- NDIS — National Disability Insurance Scheme
Families with self- or plan-managed NDIS plans often direct capacity-building funds toward parent training and behavior support where their plan's rules allow; your plan manager or support coordinator can confirm what fits.
- NDIS Early Childhood Approach
For children under 9, the early childhood approach connects families with early supports, and building parent capacity sits at the heart of it. Private coaching complements those supports rather than replacing them.
Serving the wider Sydney area
Families anywhere in the region, from Parramatta, Penrith, Liverpool, Blacktown, the Northern Beaches, Sutherland Shire, Wollongong to Newcastle and regional NSW, and everywhere in between, can work with Jess online. If you can get online, you are close enough.
Sydney families ask
How do sessions work from Australia with a consultant in Canada?
Surprisingly well: the time difference means Jess's Canadian evenings line up with Australian mornings, and sessions are scheduled in Australian Eastern Time. Jess is originally from Australia, has supported families across the country, and understands the NDIS landscape parents are navigating.
Can NDIS funding pay for this?
It depends on how your plan is managed and what it includes. Self- and plan-managed families often use capacity-building funds for parent training supports where the plan's rules allow; agency-managed plans are more restricted. Confirm with your plan manager or support coordinator, and bring questions to the free call.
We're on a waitlist for a behavior support practitioner in Sydney. Should we wait?
No. Parent-led support starts now, teaches you to reduce the hardest behavior, and everything you learn strengthens whatever formal supports arrive later. Waitlist months do not have to be lost months.
