The University of Notre Dame Australia's Bachelor of Counselling program is designed for aspiring professionals. This three-year course develops your ability to communicate skillfully while addressing diverse challenges, including trauma, addiction, relationship counseling, and bereavement support. Combining academic knowledge with practical training, this comprehensive program prepares you for the realities of professional counseling work. Our distinctive curriculum emphasizes holistic personal growth, examining psychosocial and spiritual development across all life stages. The first year introduces foundational counseling theories while helping you examine personal values, cultural influences, and essential self-care practices. As you progress through years two and three, you'll specialize in working with different age groups and relationship dynamics.
This balanced program integrates classroom learning with real-world application, covering nearly every aspect of human experience. You'll master relationship-building techniques that form the cornerstone of effective therapeutic practice. A key component involves completing a supervised placement with at least 40 hours of direct client interaction, offering valuable hands-on experience and professional connections that may lead to future employment. Graduates qualify for professional registration with both PACFA and ACA, Australia's leading counseling accreditation bodies.
