What's Included

How our supervision works

Proficient-level supervisors

Every Align supervisor is a Proficient-level behaviour support practitioner with at least 2 years' experience as an NDIS behaviour support practitioner.

Individual 1:1 supervision

Regular one-on-one sessions focused on your caseload, your behaviour support plans and your professional development goals. We agree how often we meet in your supervision agreement.

Telehealth, Australia-wide

Supervision is delivered by video, so you can work with an Align supervisor wherever you practise in Australia.

Reconsideration support

Help preparing your supervision agreement and professional development plan, and completion of the supervisor's section of the Commission's endorsement tool when your suitability is reconsidered.

Individual 1:1 supervision is $200 per hour plus GST. We may offer group supervision in certain circumstances; contact us for pricing.

NDIS Commission Requirements

What the Commission asks of new entry level practitioners

  • Your application must include a supervision agreement with a Proficient-level (or above) behaviour support practitioner who will supervise your work and/or support you to develop the required capabilities.
  • You must also attach a professional development plan covering the seven domains of the PBS Capability Framework at core level.
  • The Commission usually reconsiders your suitability within 12 months. It uses your supervision agreement and professional development plan as key reference documents, and seeks information from your supervisor about your skill development, compliance and suitability.
  • If you intend to work as a sole trader or as key personnel of a specialist behaviour support provider, the Commission may find you not suitable unless you engage a Proficient-level (or above) practitioner with 2 years' NDIS behaviour support experience to provide clinical supervision and oversight.
