Job description

Behaviour Support Practitioner – Launceston

• Full-time , Part-time , Work From Home
• TAS
• Behaviour Support

We’re looking for a Registered Behaviour Support Practitioner to join our established team in Launceston.

And you’ll be joining a pretty impressive group.

Transform Life was recently named Therapy Service of the Year at the 2026 Tasmanian Disability Awards, with several members of our Tassie Behaviour Support team also nominated for Behaviour Support Practitioner of the Year.

That recognition reflects the quality of the practitioners you’ll work alongside, the impact they’re having with participants and the culture we’ve built in Tasmania.

We’re also growing our Complex Care service, bringing Behaviour Support and Psychology together to support people with complex mental health needs, forensic and justice backgrounds, high-risk behaviours and service breakdown. If this interests you, there’s an opportunity to help shape where we take it next.

The Position

• Work from home and visit clients in your local community
• Conduct functional behaviour assessments and develop, implement and review Positive Behaviour Support Plans
• Support participants across disability, psychosocial and complex behavioural presentations
• Coach families, carers and support teams to confidently implement strategies
• Collaborate with allied health professionals and participant networks
• Monitor outcomes and adapt strategies to improve quality of life and reduce restrictive practices

What flexibility looks like here

We give good Practitioners room to structure their work sensibly.
You might cluster face-to-face appointments across certain days and use other days from home for reports, admin or telehealth. You might work from home in the morning and see clients that afternoon, or structure your day around school drop-offs and pick ups.

Not every arrangement will be possible, but if genuine work-life balance matters to you, it’s worth a conversation.

That flexibility comes with trust. We value Practitioners who are reliable, communicate well and follow through on commitments. There are KPIs and expectations, but we don’t believe good people need to be micromanaged.

How we support you

• Technology and AI that help manage travel, capacity and client matching
• Competitive remuneration based on your experience
• Regular supervision tailored to you, provided by Specialist-level Practitioners
• Monthly MDT workshops, lunch-and-learns and discipline-specific PD
• $70/hour for every billable hour above your monthly target
• Local Team Leaders and access to National leaders when you need alternative support
• Dedicated Reports Review team providing an additional layer of practitioner support

What we’re looking for

You’ll ideally have at least 12 months’ experience as a Registered Behaviour Support Practitioner, with experience across disability, mental health, education, corrections or a related setting.

Relevant tertiary qualifications and AHPRA or AASW membership are highly regarded but not essential.
