Early Childhood Supports is a new division within ORS. ECS purpose is to provide high-quality, evidence-informed support to children under 7 years old (increasing to 9 in line with the NDIS ECEI reset) and their families.
ECS will provide interdisciplinary team support comprised of allied health professionals and specialist teachers who have expertise in child development. ECS will provide supports under the Key Worker model where there is one lead practitioner that supports the child and family through applying a range of strategies across all areas of development.
Work Life Balance
The ORS executive team really believes in the benefits of a healthy work life balance. Many of us have families and lead busy lives outside of work so we know how important it is for our staff to maintain a balanced lifestyle. For this reason we:

Provide the resources for our staff to be able to work from home
Aim to allocate clients close to your home
Give you ownership of your own calendar so you can book appointments to suit your schedule
Provide suburban office locations with free onsite and local parking
Give you the ability to work part time or reduced hours

Learning and Development
At ORS we truly value the clinical and professional development of our staff. That is why we have four dedicated Learning & Development Managers in the Positive Behaviour Support division who all possess many years of diverse clinical experience, extensive background in university lecturing, and impressive qualifications. You will be able to connect with these individuals in one on one and group training sessions, plus have the ability to email or pick up the phone at any time to ask their advice on complex cases. This resource is in addition to the many Managers and Team Leaders we have on staff!
