Brendon is a dedicated Behaviour Support Practitioner with a strong background in disability support and behaviour analysis. He holds a Graduate Certificate in Applied Behaviour Analysis from Griffith University, completed in 2022. His journey in the disability sector spans over nine years, beginning as a support worker in group home settings. This foundational experience shaped his understanding of individual needs and the importance of personalised, person-centred care.

Brendon's interest in behaviour support was sparked during his time with a service provider focused on building work-related skills for individuals with disabilities. This led him to complete a Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT).

Since joining Mindtree, Brendon has continued to strengthen his skills, with a particular focus on supporting individuals with psychosocial disabilities. He has also undertaken further training in trauma-informed practice, oppositional defiant disorder, and anxiety-related disorders.

Brendon brings specialised experience working with adults in supported accommodation and day program settings. He is known for his ability to build strong, trusting relationships and communicate effectively with the people he supports. He is deeply driven by curiosity about human behaviour and is committed to understanding the meaning behind every action, with the belief that behaviour is a form of communication.
