Finding the right counsellor is all about connecting with qualified professionals who understand ethical practice, ongoing professional development, and the standards expected within the counselling profession.
The ACA Careers Centre is a purpose-built recruitment platform designed exclusively for the Australian Counselling Association community. It creates a direct connection between employers and ACA-registered counsellors, making recruitment more efficient.
A targeted audience of qualified professionals
When you advertise through the ACA Careers Centre, your role is promoted directly to over 20,000 ACA-registered counsellors across Australia. This means your opportunity is seen by professionals who already meet recognised standards of training, ethics, and professional practice.
Rather than sorting through applications that may not align with your requirements, you can connect with candidates who are specifically engaged in the counselling profession and actively seeking roles within it.
Purpose-built for the counselling sector
Unlike general job boards, the ACA Careers Centre is tailored to the unique needs of counselling and mental health roles. Employers can advertise positions knowing the platform is designed with the profession in mind. For counsellors, it provides a trusted space to explore career opportunities that align with their qualifications, values, and professional goals.
Flexible recruitment packages to suit your needs
The ACA Careers Centre offers a range of recruitment packages, allowing employers to choose the level of visibility and duration that best suits their organisation. Whether you are recruiting for a single role or building a team over time, there are flexible options to support your hiring needs.
Tips for employers to attract the right candidates
· Be clear about the role - outline key responsibilities, client groups, and work setting. Counsellors are more likely to apply when they understand how the role fits their experience and interests.
· Highlight professional support - mention supervision, professional development opportunities, and team support.
· Be transparent about requirements - clearly state required qualifications, ACA membership level, and any mandatory checks.
· Share your organisation’s values - counsellors are often drawn to roles that align with their values and approach to care. A brief insight into your organisation’s culture can make your listing stand out.
Recruiting through the ACA Careers Centre demonstrates your commitment to professional standards and ethical practice. It positions your organisation within a trusted professional community and helps build confidence among applicants.
Whether you are an employer looking to connect with qualified counsellors or an ACA member ready to take the next step in your career, the ACA Careers Centre is designed to bring the right people together.
