Dear Members

Great news! We have heard from the third party consultants, Allen + Clarke Consulting (“Consultants”) who will be working with the Department of Health and Aged Care on the development of the National Standards for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in Australia. ACA will be joining both the Consultants and Department of Health on Thursday 4 April 2024 to commence in the stakeholder mapping process. Stakeholder mapping is an important initial phase of any project to ensure consultation and engagement occurs with the right people, groups and/or organisations.  It helps to inform strategy, planning and future direction.

Kind regards

Jodie McKenzie

CEO, Australian Counselling Association
