National PBS exists to inspire purpose and empowerment for individuals by delivering the gold standard of Positive Behaviour Support and training our Behaviour Support Practitioners to be specialists in the field.

Our team of AHPRA-registered psychologists use a holistic, evidence-based approach to understand behaviours of concern and their underlying causes.

We work closely with clients, their families, and support networks to develop functional behaviour assessments and behaviour support plans that can be followed to ensure a reduction of behaviours of concern, a reduction of restrictive practices, and an improvement in their quality of life.

We have seen exponential growth in the last 3+ years and are now looking to support our growing team so that we can service a new influx of participants across greater Victoria and Australia.
