Who we are

We’ve sat on both sides of the table.

Proudly autistic-led, trauma-informed, and shaped by lived experience, as clinicians, as family members, and many of us as neurodivergent people ourselves. We bring both clinical expertise and the kind of understanding that only comes from living it, and behaviour support should never feel like a judgement or try to change who you are. Whatever life looks like for you right now, we walk alongside you.

The Therapy In The Outback team together
Our vision

Setting the standard for what good practice looks like.

We’re building a behaviour support service that’s practical, ethical, neuro-affirming, and effective in the real world. We want to be known for reducing restrictive practices, improving quality of life in meaningful ways, and delivering high-quality support to regional and remote communities who are too often overlooked.

Our mission

To do behaviour support properly.

Not quickly, not performatively, and not at the expense of people or clinicians. We focus on reducing restrictive practices, measuring quality of life in meaningful ways, and improving access in regional and remote communities, while building a team of skilled, supported clinicians who grow here, not burn out here.

Our values

Five values, five mates to keep us honest

Each of our values is represented by a mascot, and serves as a little reminder of how we show up for the people we support, and for each other.

Pip the Platypus

Better Each Day
