Course objectives
The Graduate Diploma in Rehabilitation Counselling is a skill based course which aims to
provide students with the fundamental knowledge and skills required for employment in
a broad range of rehabilitation counselling roles. These include vocational rehabilitation,
rehabilitation following head injury or as a consequence of physical illness or injury,
counselling roles associated with death and dying, rehabilitation following criminal
incarceration, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The course focuses on the theoretical
basis of rehabilitation and the acquisition of counselling skills, both in general and specific
to particular work areas. The practice of rehabilitation is covered in relation to specific
work areas, examining particular issues that may arise and community resources available
both for clients and their families.
Professional recognition
Intending students should note that the Graduate Diploma in Rehabilitation Counselling
is not an accredited fourth year program in psychology and a graduate will not be eligible
for registration as a psychologist. Accreditation is currently being considered by the
Australian Society of Rehabilitation Counsellors.
