Our mission is Freedom and Social Connection through providing easy access to Positive Behaviour Support. We see a life of greater freedom and social connection for people affected by disability. We believe life-changing Positive Behaviour Support Services should be easy for people in the NDIS to access. We are the leading Behaviour Support Service in Sydney, and we’d love you to be a part of our national expansion.

To deliver this mission, we focus on Learning and Development inside the team. As a Psychologist you will provide behaviour support (Including Restricted Practices), psychological support, conduct assessments, provide therapy and make recommendations to NDIS participants and stakeholders.
