          <inserted>There are four metropolitan primary centres and two regional secondary centres, all co-located with mainstream schools.</inserted>

          <inserted>Metropolitan primary BBCs run two groups of part-time students, each for two days per week, with a maximum of 10 students per group. The students are in years 3 to 7. Students attend their enrolled school for the rest of the week. The total maximum capacity for each primary BBC is 20 students placed for up to 4 terms.</inserted>

          <inserted>Changes to maximum capacity or an increase in placement flexibility is limited by the staff to student ration which reflects the complexity of the BBCs' targeted student cohort. This is consistent with the Department for Education and Child Development's industrial arrangements for sites and centres designated as behaviour units.</inserted>
