Current Volunteer Opportunities
Become a member of an Accreditation Panel
Participating in the PACFA accreditation process is an excellent way to contribute to the high quality of counselling and psychotherapy training, through discussion of standards, workforce development and confidential assessment.
If successful, you will be matched with an experienced Panellist to help you assess academic pedagogy and implementation. Participation is also a very well-regarded opportunity to build academic experience.
Participating in accreditation panels involves a half or full day per panel currently operating via zoom.
To take advantage of this opportunities you will need to be a PACFA member, and complete the EOI, selecting the option ‘joining a pool of members to assist on Accreditation Panels’.
