Job Description
Posted: 03/06/2026
Closing Date: 03/07/2026
Job Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: Melbourne, VIC
Job Category: Clinical Practice
Job Description
We’re looking for a Behaviour Support Practitioner to join our multidisciplinary clinical team. This role is open to practitioners from a range of disciplines – including Psychologists, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, and Educators. We are particularly interested in hearing from Psychologists looking to apply their clinical skills in a community-based, systems-focused setting.
We are looking for someone who is genuinely motivated to create meaningful, lasting change in people’s lives. You’ll work alongside care teams, families, and the systems that support them to implement real, evidence-based interventions in real-world settings.
If you’re a practitioner who has been wondering whether there’s more than the therapy room and whether you could apply your assessment, intervention design, and therapeutic skills more broadly, more systemically, and more collaboratively – this role was built for you.
About SAL Consulting
SAL Consulting Group is an organisation with a focus on working with complex individuals, systems and organisations across Australia. We work with children, young people and adults; people with a disability; people who have mental health support needs, people who have experienced trauma, their families, and the organisations and government departments that support them.
We provide a range of services, including Clinical / Behaviour Support, Psychology Services, Clinical Supervision, Therapy, Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Cultural Consultancy, Training and Organisational Practice and Professional Development.
SAL Consulting Group is a leader in the field of neurodevelopment, attachment and a trauma-informed (©NATI) practice. We recognise that relationship is fundamental to every aspect of our work. Through our national and international partnerships, we have access to current research that informs the work we do. We are also NDIS registered and NMT accredited, an RTO and provide psychological services under Medicare.
SAL Consulting is committed to building diverse, inclusive teams.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
What You’ll Be Doing
Conducting a comprehensive range of assessments – behavioural, clinical, psychological, and multidisciplinary – and identifying appropriate interventions and service models
Preparing and delivering high-quality behaviour support plans and discipline-specific assessment reports
Providing behaviour support for children and adults with complex disability, psychosocial support needs, mental health presentations, and trauma histories
Delivering discipline-specific therapy and direct treatment across the age span
Working collaboratively with care teams, families, and the systems around an individual – going beyond the report to support genuine implementation
Contributing to clinical support, reflective practice, and training activities within teams and organisations
Participating in monthly internal professional development days and your own individualised PD plan
The position will require regular travel around the Melbourne metro area and occasional regional travel.
Specialist Pathways & Scope
Diverse caseload: Work across NDIS, out-of-home care, child protection and family preservation, homelessness, youth services, and women’s services
Specialist pathways: Develop expertise in forensic behaviour support, early childhood intervention, or NMT-informed practice
Interstate & remote projects: Opportunities to travel and work regionally or interstate are available to our practitioners
Beyond behaviour support: Clinical support, reflective practice, training and organisational consulting, therapy and assessment – your scope grows with you
Work from home: Administration and report writing can be completed from home, with flexibility built into how we work
Desired Skills and Experience
Who We’re Looking For
We want practitioners who are curious, collaborative, and motivated by making a real difference. At SAL Consulting we value people who think broadly about their skills, take ownership of their development, and are genuinely energised by complexity.
