Behaviour Support Practitioner

About the Organisation

Optimum Health Solutions has built a strong reputation in allied health over the past 20 years. The organisation supports children, adults and families through evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support, backed by a focus on clinical quality, ongoing development and long-term career growth.

With 14 clinics across New South Wales and Tasmania and a workforce of more than 200 professionals, the team continues to expand its impact across the communities it serves.

The Opportunity

An experienced Behaviour Support Practitioner is needed to join a multidisciplinary team in Coffs Harbour. The role is focused on delivering practical, person-centred support that improves day-to-day outcomes and community participation for people with complex needs.

Key Duties

• Carry out behavioural support assessments.
• Create detailed and high-quality Behaviour Support Plans.
• Implement evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support strategies.
• Provide services in clinic, home, community and school settings.
• Work with children, adolescents and adults who have complex support requirements.
• Partner with families, carers, support coordinators and other relevant stakeholders.
• Help clients achieve outcomes that improve quality of life and participation in the community.

What You Need

• Current NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner registration at Core level or higher.
• Previous experience in a Behaviour Support Practitioner role or a closely related behavioural support position.
• Solid understanding of Positive Behaviour Support principles and frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with assessments and Behaviour Support Plan development.
• Strong verbal and written communication, plus the ability to build productive relationships.
• Capability to work autonomously while contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary team.
• A calm, patient and solution-oriented approach.
• Commitment to supporting people with disability and their families.

Why This Role Stands Out

The position offers structured career pathways, including opportunities to progress into senior clinical, leadership and management roles. Professional development is a major focus, with weekly learning sessions, specialist mentoring and access to a wide range of educational resources.

You will work within a collaborative team that includes Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Psychologists and other Behaviour Support Practitioners. The workplace also features purpose-built therapy areas such as sensory rooms, gyms, motor development spaces and up-to-date clinical resources.

This is meaningful work for someone who wants to help clients strengthen skills, build independence and improve everyday participation.
