The title of ‘Provisional’ is an internal title within Instinct Au only and is not a title that aligns with the Quality and Safeguards Commission. The title of ‘Provisional’ is used to describe a registered Behaviour Support Practitioner that is not yet considered to have the skills and experience to independently support and manage a caseload, and is therefore mentored by an experienced Behaviour Support Practitioner.
