Careers
Careers at Target Behaviour Services
The Positive Behaviour Support sector has a burnout problem. Most practitioners leave within 12 months. Ours stay for years. If you're looking for a workplace that invests in your development, values your expertise, and gives you the clinical support to do your best work, we'd like to hear from you.
Work that makes a real difference
At Target Behaviour Services, we support people with complex needs across homes, schools, community settings and other care environments. Our clinicians work closely with participants, families, support workers and professionals to create practical strategies that can be used in everyday life.
This is meaningful work, but it is also work that requires care, patience and strong support. That is why we focus on building a team culture where clinicians feel valued, guided and trusted to do their best work.
Why work with us
We’ve built the kind of workplace we’d want to work in. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Real clinical supervision
Our supervision is structured, regular, and meaningful. We invest in your development because your clinical growth directly improves outcomes for the participants we support.
Flexible working arrangements
We support flexible and work-from-home arrangements where the role allows. We trust our practitioners to manage their time and caseloads professionally.
A specialist team around you
Our entire team specialises in positive behaviour support. The peer knowledge, support, and collaboration available to you is genuinely specialist and not generalist.
Manageable caseloads
We are deliberate about caseload size. Overloaded practitioners don’t produce good clinical work. We protect our team’s capacity to do the job properly.
A track record you can be proud of
Three consecutive APAC Insider award wins. Zero NDIS audit non-conformities. When you work here, you’re part of a team that stands for quality.
What we look for
We are looking for practitioners who are qualified, committed, and genuinely motivated by the work and not just the role. Experience in complex or specialist settings is valued, but what matters most is clinical curiosity, a person-centred approach, and the kind of professional integrity that makes a long-term career in this field sustainable.

- Meeting with participants, families and support teams
- Gathering information across everyday environments
- Supporting Behaviour Support Plans and reports
- Training staff, carers or support workers
- Reviewing progress and adjusting strategies
- Working with complex presentations in a supported team environment
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from clinicians considering joining our team.
What qualifications do I need to apply?
Behaviour support practitioners at our organisation hold qualifications in relevant allied health disciplines, including psychology, social work, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and related fields. All practitioners must meet the requirements of the NDIS Behaviour Support Capability Framework. Specific qualification requirements are listed in each role description.
Do you offer graduate or early-career positions?
This varies depending on our current recruitment needs. Where we have capacity to support early-career practitioners, we will advertise graduate roles specifically. Check our current listings in job search webites, or send a speculative expression of interest to admin@targetbehaviourservices.com.au.
Is the role fully in person or is remote work available?
We support flexible and work-from-home arrangements where the role allows. Practitioners are expected to conduct in-person observations and client contact as required by their caseload. Specific arrangements for each role are outlined in the position description.
What does the onboarding process look like?
New practitioners receive a structured onboarding program covering our clinical processes, documentation standards, NDIS compliance requirements, and team ways of working. Clinical supervision begins from day one. We invest in getting our practitioners set up properly and not just handed a caseload.
How quickly do you grow caseloads for new practitioners?
We build caseloads gradually and deliberately, particularly for practitioners who are new to the organisation. Our priority is quality clinical work, not volume. Caseload growth is discussed openly as part of regular supervision and performance conversations.
What is the culture like?
Our staff turnover is near zero, with only two practitioners having left the organisation since we were founded. That should tell you something. We are a small, specialist team that takes the work seriously and supports each other to do it well. Professional without being corporate, and we expect the same from the people who join us.
