Behaviour Support Practitioner

At Outcomes Connect Australia (OCA), we believe people do their best work when they feel connected, supported and inspired.

Since 2018, OCA has empowered Behaviour Support Practitioners to build confidence, develop their clinical skills and achieve best practice. Through genuine connection, collaborative learning and purposeful practice, practitioners' careers have transformed and thrived.

Our model combines local delivery and national systems, ensuring consistency, safety and clinical excellence under a strong governance framework.

If you're looking for a workplace where your ideas are heard, your development is prioritised and your wellbeing truly matters, we'd love to hear from you

As a Team Lead, you'll make a real difference in the lives of people living with disability by helping them and those around them. You will focus on enhancing quality of life, reducing behaviours of concern and promoting the rights of people with disability.

• provide leadership that optimises individual potential and supports team members to thrive as clinicians, whilst also working collaboratively with the leadership group to optimise the quality of supports provided
• ensure OCA provides a workplace that is safe, healthy and respectful, along with actively contributing to growing the culture of being a fun, people-focused and stimulating place to work
