Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mañana?

Mañana is a person-centred, support-first organisation that offers Improved Relationships supports under the NDIS. We aim to improve an ability to engage in everyday activities, ensure safety of clients and stakeholders, and provide the necessary supports to increase regulation and reduce risk[cite: 2]. We operate with a primary focus of data-driven intervention and person-centred delivery/operations under the NDIS Behaviour Support Model[cite: 2].

Most importantly, we aim to support the participant—in whatever format they need[cite: 2]!

  • Need face-to-face support for co-regulation? We are independent and offer discussion in any environment[cite: 2].
  • Need advocacy within the NDIS structure due to risk? We create data-driven proof and assessments of need[cite: 2].
  • Need evaluation of Restrictive Practices? We assist in moving towards authorization and best practice fadeout[cite: 2].

What does Improved Relationships entail?

Improved Relationships is at its base about improving the relationship to self, to others, to family, to services, to life[cite: 2]! Our focus is on creating positive individualised strategies for people (with and without disabilities) who engage in behaviours of concern (BOC)[cite: 2]. These strategies include both preventative and reactive measures tailored to individual needs[cite: 2].

What can Mañana offer its participants?

  • Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA), Behaviour Support Plans (BSP), and Restrictive Practice Plans[cite: 2].
  • Clinical evaluations (ABAS, Vineland) for advocacy or NDIS support access[cite: 2].
  • Staff and provider training in behaviour understanding, RPs, and complex support[cite: 2].

Are the strategies evidence-based?

Yes[cite: 2]. Improved Relationships is grounded in evidence-based strategies[cite: 2]. We believe in data-driven, person-centred supports that address individualized needs—what is actually happening and what contributes to the effects on you[cite: 2]. The cookie-cutter approach lacks person- and environment-centred thinking[cite: 2].

What don’t we do?

We do not operate from an “ivory tower”[cite: 2]. We do not invite a client to a clinical setting for 2 sessions, write a generic plan from an office, and disappear[cite: 2]. If your practitioner never leaves the office or puts you in a room once a month without engaging critical supports and environments, consider changing[cite: 2]!

What is our service area?

Mañana provides NDIS registered Behaviour Support in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Central Coast, Upper Hunter, and Nelson Bay regions[cite: 2].
