Launch your career in Positive Behaviour Support with The Centre for Positive Behaviour Support.

Join one of Australia’s leading Positive Behaviour Support organisations, recognised as the 2024 Most Outstanding Positive Behaviour Support Provider Worldwide and the first Centre of Excellence for the IABA Research and Education Foundation.

Our Entry-Level Practitioner Programme is designed for graduates and those with transferable experience who are passionate about supporting people with disability and ready to build a meaningful, long-term career in Behaviour Support.

- Work directly with participants,



families, support workers, schools and other stakeholders.
