Overview
It is therefore critical that counsellors: (a) understand the extent of their ethical responsibilities to their clients, and (b) be cognisant of the moral and ethical theories that undergird ethical codes of practice informing and guiding daily counselling practice.
Key Features
Concurrently counsellors are required to: (i) be aware of, and abide by, all regulatory codes and Australian legislative requirements that govern the Health sector; (ii) reflect upon, understand and incorporate professional values and ethical principles into their professional decision-making processes; (iii) embrace a cross-cultural approach in support of the worth, dignity, potential, and uniqueness of clients within their diverse social and cultural contexts; (iv) consider the advantages and responsibilities arising from membership with relevant professional associations (eg. the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia); and (v) be aware of, and thoughtful about, how their personal moral stance and ethical framework informs and influences their professional practice. This Ethical Issues and Practice unit at Excelsia College aims to comprehensively equip counselling students to understand and comply with the requirements and expectations associated with being a professional counsellor practising in Australia. Through a range of diverse in-class activities and assessment tasks students will develop both the understanding and capacity to make informed and competent ethical and legal clinical decisions, thereby enabling them to manage the complexities of mental health practice.Programme Structure
