Frequently asked questions
Areas we service: FAQs
Do I need to live in a capital city to train with ConnectFirst™?
No. All our training and clinical supervision is online, so practitioners in regional and remote areas can join from home.
Is my area missing?
We support practitioners anywhere in Australia, not only the 80 areas listed. Fill out our application form and, if you have the suitable qualifications and experience, we'll be in touch to organise a qualifying call back.
Do you provide behaviour support for children in these areas?
We have practitioners in Melbourne, Traralgon, Brisbane, Perth, the Gold Coast and Echuca. In Broome, Karratha, Port Hedland, Exmouth and North West WA, North West Positive Behaviour Support provides in-person and telehealth support.
