Member of Certified Practicing Counsellors Australia (CPCA) and Counsellors Victoria

CPCA ensures clients and colleagues are safe and treated appropriately is the vital obligation of every counsellor, which is why duty of care must be heavily considered. Duty of care is legally written into the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and is your responsibility to protect the safety and wellbeing of others. This includes anticipating possible hazards and causes of injury and doing everything reasonably practicable to prevent, remove or minimise these causes. Applying and adhering to your codes of practice, ethical standards, and organisational policy will ensure you carry out your duty of care. In counselling especially, it is so important to recognise a person’s right to be in a safe environment free from neglect and abuse.


Counsellors Victoria is a professional development and networking provider for those with a diploma and higher in counselling related studies.
