Description
PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) is the peak registration body for tertiary-qualified counsellors and psychotherapists. PACFA is a proud full/'ordinary' member of Allied Health Professionals Australia (AHPA) and a qualifying member of National Alliance of Self-Regulating Health Professionals (NASRHP).
PACFA has more than 8000 members across Australia with 33% in regional/rural and remote areas. Twenty-eight per cent (28%) work with young people, and 17% work with children. Just over half of PACFA members work in private practice, often alongside Psychologists, General Practitioners and other Allied Health professionals. Other members are employed at schools, by service providers and by different levels of government.
Counsellors work with clients to:
- Gain greater understanding of themselves and others
- Manage change and resolve identified concerns
- Explore aspects of identity, spirituality and past experiences
- Build self-awareness and change behaviour
- Address grief and loss, trauma, domestic violence or use of alcohol and other substances
- Intervene early to support enhanced relationships with family and community
PACFA’s registration requirements are rigorous, and the highest in the sector. PACFA registrants work within our Scope of Practice and are accountable to our Code of Ethics and grievance resolution procedures.
PACFA registrants receive rebates and referrals through a wide range of services including private health insurance, workers compensation, victim support services and health services.
