A meaningful, well paid career.

At Liberty we offer the best, and only hire the best.

Liberty Behavioural Services was born from the personal experience of its founder, David Goodwin. After overcoming a rare brain embolism, he was inspired to dedicate his life to helping others facing significant challenges. His own journey of resilience and recovery is the driving force behind Liberty, an organisation committed to improving the lives of people with disabilities through compassionate, evidence-based support.
