Dear Members,

Urgent Action required:

As you can see, despite our request to be engaged in the consultation phase, the CPCA was not consulted. It appears there is a concerted effort to create a peak body and to disenfranchise people who are not members of that body. Further, there is a clear push to make registration compulsory and thus to remove the rights of counsellors who qualify by virtue of diploma and practice.

Important Links:

Sign the Change.org Petition
Read the Draft National Standards for Counsellors (PDF)

It is essential, if you wish to retain your freedom to choose and to practise, that you take action:

Read and understand the draft national standards.
Sign the petition to Protect and Uphold the Role of Vocationally Trained Counsellors in the National Standards.

After reading the Draft National Standards, please look at the questions that were included in the survey at the beginning of the draft and answer them on a word document.

Afterwards please send through to the following email addresses with the subject heading: Draft National Standards for Counsellors.

Please add us to your email CC:

The CPCA will also be responding formally.
