CDBS professional learning strengthens educator knowledge, behaviour understanding, and day-to-day practice across schools, early years, and OSHC settings. Learning is designed to support clearer adult response, stronger implementation, and more consistent behaviour support through practical, evidence-informed professional development.
Grounded in real practice, team context, and the day-to-day challenges educators face, CDBS professional learning supports shared understanding, more consistent responses, and stronger behaviour practice across teams and settings. Delivery is available for educators, leaders, directors, and organisations across metropolitan, regional, and remote communities throughout Australia.
Positive behaviour support relies on consistent responses, not reactive decisions-making.
Professional learning is delivered through two primary formats, depending on team needs, setting context, and the depth of learning required
Two-hour professional learning sessions designed to introduce, strengthen, or refine specific areas of behaviour practice. Workshops can be delivered as standalone sessions or as part of a broader professional learning pathway.
Full-day professional development designed for deeper learning, guided reflection, and practical application. Professional Development Days support teams to strengthen shared language, consistent practice, and behaviour understanding across their setting. Sessions may integrate multiple workshop themes and are designed in line with team priorities, setting context, and organisational needs.
A structured workshop pathway designed to strengthen foundational, complex, and specialised behaviour practice across schools, early years, OSHC, and care settings.

Professional Development Days provide extended time for teams to deepen understanding, reflect on current practice, and apply learning to their own setting. These full-day sessions are designed for organisations seeking stronger shared practice, greater consistency across teams, and more applied behaviour understanding. Sessions commonly integrate multiple workshop themes into one structured day and include guided discussion, case-based reflection, and practical application.
This Professional Development Day supports teams to build a shared understanding of behaviour, educator responses, and consistent practice. The focus is on establishing clear foundations that support predictability, confidence, and aligned approaches across environments and staff.
This Professional Development Day is designed for teams working with higher levels of complexity, escalation, or risk. The focus is on translating understanding of behaviour function into intentional, consistent educator practice during high-stress situations.
This Professional Development Day focuses on strengthening educator and leadership capability in collecting, interpreting, and using behaviour data to inform decision-making and practice.
CDBS works with organisations across Australia, supporting services in metropolitan, regional, and remote locations. Delivery may include in-person or online engagement, depending on context, scope, and organisational needs.
