Courtney Timms

Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner

I am a Behaviour Support Practitioner who is passionate about supporting people to improve their quality of life, achieve their goals, and build the skills and confidence to participate meaningfully in everyday life. I believe every person has unique strengths, and I am committed to providing person-centred, evidence-informed support that is tailored to each individual’s needs, values, and aspirations.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Flinders University and have completed Positive Behaviour Support training through Monash University.

Since beginning my career in 2019, I have worked across child protection, mental health, disability, and therapeutic services, supporting people with diverse needs and backgrounds. My experience includes working with individuals with autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, trauma backgrounds, mental health challenges, and people from culturally diverse communities.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I work alongside participants, families, carers, and multidisciplinary teams to understand the factors influencing behaviour and develop practical, individualised strategies that enhance independence, build capacity, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful participation in home, school, work, and community settings.

I value building genuine, respectful relationships where people feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to support each person to achieve outcomes that are meaningful to them while promoting dignity, choice, and an improved quality of life.

Jessica Mercurio

Proficient Behaviour Support Practitioner

BPsych, Grad Dip (Relationship Counselling), Registered Play Therapist (RPT)

Jess is a warm, people‑centred Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Practitioner who lives by the belief that “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” a timeless insight from Lao Tzu reminding us that even meaningful change starts with one small, intentional action. This philosophy aligns closely with her PBS approach: she supports growth step by step, celebrating steady gains and meaningful connections rather than expecting overnight transformation. Since June 2023, Jess has been working as a PBS Practitioner, drawing on her earlier experience as a Support Coordinator and Psychosocial Recovery Coach to co‑design thoughtful, strengths‑based support plans that honour dignity, lived experience, and genuine progress.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find her smashing shuttlecocks on the badminton court, cruising scenic backroads on a spontaneous drive, or sharing laughs with family and friends over good conversation, always ready to take life’s next step with curiosity, joy, and heart.
