ORS Centre of Excellence
The Future of Positive Behaviour Support Starts Here
The ORS PBS Centre of Excellence is redefining what great positive behaviour support looks like, developing confident clinicians, delivering better outcomes, and raising the standard across Australia.
Built for clinicians. Designed for growth. Focused on real impact.
We’re raising PBS to the standard it deserves
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is one of the most impactful and most misunderstood disciplines in allied health. At ORS, we’re changing that.
We’ve built the Centre of Excellence to elevate PBS to the level it deserves, with the structure, clinical experience, and professional development pathways typically found in disciplines such as psychology.
Supporting people to improve their quality of life isn’t simple. It requires skill, judgement, supervision, and continuous learning. That’s what we deliver
