OUR TEAM
We Are An Extension Of Your Support Team
National PBS was founded by Anthony DeFazio to address a significant gap in the quality of behaviour support services available across Australia. Over the past seven years, our team has delivered life-changing behaviour support plans to more than 1,000 participants across Melbourne and Regional Victoria.
Our Collaborative Approach
At National PBS, collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Our therapists are highly valued and regularly come together to discuss complex situations, share knowledge, and support one another in delivering the best possible outcomes.
This collaborative approach ensures that every participant benefits from the experience, expertise, and insights of our entire team, not just a single practitioner.
