About the company:

This organisation was launched 5 years ago by a behaviourist with three goals of:

Deliver high-quality behaviour support

Enhance the quality of life

Impact the world with significant charity and through our values-driven work

So far, our global charity work has saved 50+ children, helped build a forest, supported the Tourette's camp, supported several schools in Africa, built houses and helped to establish a crop, replenished a hospital, and sent significant aid to Ukraine.

Liberty's network of therapists is passionate about improving the lives of people with disabilities and reducing any unnecessary restrictions that are in their lives. We are a multidisciplinary network focused entirely on NDIS behaviour support.

We are driven to provide the best experience for staff and customers anywhere in the country, and we continuously re-invest heavily to achieve this.

In November, Liberty won the highest business award from 23,000 companies, indicating it to be the most highly sought-after company for participants and staff!
