About this programme

More than 43% of Australians aged 16 to 85 have experienced a mental health challenge throughout their life.

Whether you are from a counselling background or a related field like teaching, healthcare, or social work, the Master of Counselling will equip you with the skills to connect with and compassionately support your clients. You will graduate with 200 hours of practical experience, preparing you to provide personalised support to clients tailored to their unique circumstances.
