PACFA has upgraded to Level 2 membership of the International Association for Counselling, ensuring direct international representation of our members on global counselling issues.
The global voice for counselling, the IAC is a non-government organisation with UN consultative status membership.
As a Level 2 organisational member, PACFA will:
-
be involved in direct advocacy consultation and support on progressing recognition of counselling in Australia.
-
be consulted on IAC policy and position documents submitted to intergovernmental bodies (e.g., United Nations or European Union)
-
hold a representative position on the IAC Regional Board (IAC Asia-Pacific).
Since 1966, the IAC has worked to advance counselling through practice, education, research and advocacy initiatives.
Being a Level 2 member of the IAC elevates the standing of every PACFA member and allows PACFA to play a part in the ongoing efforts to integrate counselling policy, expertise and excellence worldwide.
