Ten Benefits of registration on the National PACFA Register:
2. Listing on the PACFA National Register is a pre-requisite for entry into one of the ten special sections for professional modalities of psychotherapists and counsellors that are consulted on registration and recognition in those modalities. 3. Key stakeholders including service organisations, employers and government departments check with the PACFA National Register to confirm professional standing. 4. On-going professional development and staffing requirements by organisations seeking confirmation of continuing education requirements are confirmed only for PACFA Registrants as other queries are referred directly to Member Associations. 5. The PACFA Register is accepted as being endorsed by the 37 current Member Associations as proof of professional standing and peer acceptance for the provision of relevant information on qualified practitioners to the community and to government agencies through a National Register of Psychotherapists and Counsellors who meet the requisite professional practice standards. 6. Psychotherapists and Counsellors who are qualified to be listed on the PACFA Register are able to contribute to and develop policy and research proposals with respect to the efficacy of counselling and psychotherapists, skills development, theory and knowledge building and promote these by use of the PACFA logo as a seal of standing and post nominal in gaining employment and public standing. 7. Participation on the Register contributes to the provision of a united professional identity of the science relating to the art and practice of psychotherapy and counselling, including providing support, public accountability and representation of the professions where there is conflict over the standing of psychotherapy and counselling as legitimate Allied Health Professions. 8. Evidence of requisite knowledge, skills and experience for listing on the Australian Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ARCAP) depends on holding prior standing on the National Register of either PACFA or ACA.
10.
Listing on the PACFA National Register is a pre-condition
for potential acceptance under the Private Health Insurance (accreditation) Rules
2008 and the right to use the ARCAP Counsellor and/or ARCAP Psychotherapist trade
marks that will only be available to qualified practitioners through the Australian
Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists in 2009. |
