Working at PRS Support has truly been a breath of fresh air for me.

Overall, PRS Support isn't just a workplace—it's a supportive community where growth, flexibility, and collaboration thrive.
India RSenior Speech Pathologist
My experience with PRS has been incredibly positive and highly beneficial to my professional development as a Behaviour Support Practitioner. PRS prioritises quality client service, ensuring clinicians receive one-on-one supervision, regular interdisciplinary allied health meetings, and in-services to develop professional and collaborative skills and networks. Looking forward, I am excited about the continued growth and skill enhancement opportunities with PRS.
Izak XBehaviour Support Practitioner
From the start, PRS have encouraged and emphasised work to be catered to us as the therapist, our goals for professional growth, as well as fostering an essential work/life balance for personal health and well-being. I feel it is this, alongside an amazing multidisciplinary team, that has allowed me to become the therapist I am today, loving the industry and company in which I work.
Aaron MOccupational Therapist
“The best decision I have made for my career is to join PRS!” It is so common to experience burnout working in the NDIS sector if you don’t receive good support from your company and team. I have been there, and it was so difficult to manage the stress on your own. However, I’m so glad that I moved on and joined PRS. I have to say it is the best decision I have made for my career so far! 
Yujing WOccupational Therapist
The ability to work remotely has provided me with the flexibility to better manage my workload and personal commitments. I feel trusted and empowered to manage my own schedule, which is centred around participants evolving needs and personal commitments of their own. Working with PRS has been an incredibly rewarding experience, largely due to the emphasis on strengthening collaboration and connectedness within the PRS allied health team!
Jordan CBehaviour Support Clinician
PRS have been wonderful to work with. Their OT’s demonstrate a person centred and trauma-informed approach to their work. They are wonderful to work with and have achieved great outcomes for our mutual clients. They are approachable, timely and dedicated. The admin team are also on it! A testament to great management 😊.
Francis M
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional work of Kristy Kahler. Kristy's dedication and commitment have truly stood out during this challenging time.
Sara VSupport Coordinator
I wanted to express my gratitude for promptly sending the OT report for review. After going through your report, I must commend you on its excellent structure. Your attention to detail and the clarity in which you presented the information is highly commendable.
Salwa DService Manager
Amanda - this report is amazing as per usual, very detailed and covers everything. Thank you so much for putting such an outstanding effort into this report. Your hard work never gets unnoticed once again thank you ☺️
Ala AParent
Aaron is a great OT - Providers who do as an amazing Job and are as responsive as you are, are super hard to come by – it was an honest observation based off my experiences! Credit where credit is due!
Tory MSupport Coordinator
Valentina - Thanks for the effort you have put into this document - it is comprehensive, well thought through and a good balance of David's history, and more recent developments in terms of declining health and mobility and his moving to a new residence, with new housemates.
Mark RRepresentative
Michelle, as with Marissa, has also been incredible to provide a report for the same client Marissa assisted with on very short notice, and also helped me to better understand the client and her condition, which I was not familiar with. This has helped me not only understand the clients needs, but to also communicate better with them.
Dennis RSupport Coordinator
I just want to thank you so very much for what you did today… Leading that meeting, bringing up all the concerns, and just being so in tune to mine and Harley’s needs… Mean so much.
Carmen SCarer
I just wanted to share some feedback about Aaron. He has just been exceptional! From when he first took on the participants at Sunnyfield SIL homes he has been phenomenal. Always willing to take on one more from one of the homes that needs something, sharing information and communicating what has happened, the plan moving forward.
Sarah MSupport Coordinator
Isabel, myself, and the team at St Anne’s, would like to thank you very much for your support and understanding as Maria’s psychologist.  Please know that over the years, I don’t recall Maria feeling as comfortable with an allied health professional as she did with you - much appreciated.
Marie KSupport Coordinator
