HOW WE WORK

How does the Outcomes Lab team work together?

Outcomes Lab clinicians don't work in isolation. Complex cases are discussed as a team, every referral is reviewed by our clinical director before we say yes, and practitioners have regular supervision, so the person you support gets the benefit of the whole team, not just one clinician.

We work as a team

No one works on a complex case alone. Our clinicians talk through cases together, so you get more than one perspective on what will help.

Every referral is reviewed

Julian reviews every referral to check we have the right skills and capacity. If we are not the right fit, we tell you up front.

Our clinicians are supported

We hire for skill and integrity, then back people with regular supervision and training, so they can do their best work and stay.

Not sure who's the right fit?

You don't need to choose. Send us a referral and we'll match the person with the right practitioner, or book a free consultation to talk it through first.

QUESTIONS

Questions about our team

Can I choose which practitioner I work with?

+

Yes, you can ask for someone by name. We'll match you based on the person's needs, where you live and who has capacity, and if someone else would suit better we'll explain why.

Who reviews referrals at Outcomes Lab?

+

Every referral is reviewed by our founder and clinical director, a Clinical Neuropsychologist and Specialist Behaviour Support Practitioner who also supervises the clinical team.

Does Outcomes Lab have practitioners outside Melbourne?

+

Yes. We provide positive behaviour support in Port Lincoln and surrounding towns in South Australia. For people outside our regions, we can also provide support by telehealth.

JOIN THE TEAM

Want to work with us?

Burnout is common in the NDIS sector. We built Outcomes Lab so clinicians get real supervision, a team to think with and time to do the work properly.

Practical tips from our clinicians
