These competencies are essential to maintaining our registration standards, meeting sector expectations, and reflecting the high quality of counselling practice that PACFA embodies.
How to Participate
To take part in the consultation process:
- Email Counselling Project Advisor Rachel Friebel ([email protected]) to register your interest and receive an information pack.
- Attend one of two Zoom sessions in July:
- Monday 15 July, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm AEST
- Saturday 20 July, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm AEST
Additionally, separate consultations will be held with employers and training providers. The feedback gathered from these sessions will be instrumental in refining the competencies and ensuring they align with the needs of all stakeholders.
Why Your Participation Matters
The new statement of counselling competencies will also enable PACFA to establish a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway at the appropriate time. This pathway will recognize the skills and experiences of practitioners, making it easier to achieve and maintain PACFA registration.
