Our psychology degrees have been conditionally accredited by The Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) as being equivalent in status to university degrees in psychology. Our counselling and psychotherapy courses have also received accreditation from The Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia (PACFA), and the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). We are proud of these achievements and the professional recognition it affords Cairnmillar as a centre known for clinical excellence.
Professor Denise Charman and the staff of the school are committed to providing a personalised education experience for all who come our way. The school has developed an outstanding teaching program and an excellent reputation for the education of psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors. The high quality of our courses means that our graduates obtain the highest possible standards. Cairnmillar now offers a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. It is also offering places for fourth and fifth year psychology program. These options mean Cairnmillar now has several pathways for people to become psychologists. Our former students speak appreciatively of their experiences at Cairnmillar. This reflects in the fact that so many of our former students hold leadership positions.
