There are a further 3 institutions who have submitted their programs for accreditation with PACFA and site visits are being conducted in the coming months.
There are training courses in Australia who would meet PACFA Training Standards who have yet to be accredited. There are also courses still in the process of being accredited. In the interim it is best to check whether your course meets the PACFA Training Standards.
