The convergent close-coupling method with two-centre expansions has been developed to calculate positron scattering on helium. The method utilizes a multiconfigurational description of helium wavefunctions. Positronium formation is taken into account explicitly as electron capture into the positronium states. Direct-scattering, positronium-formation and breakup cross sections are calculated at all energies of practical relevance. Convergence in the calculated cross sections is demonstrated by increasing the basis size and orbital quantum number of the included states for each of the centres. Better agreement with experimental data is found when a multiconfigurational description is used for the helium wavefunctions in comparison with the recent frozen-core results.
