Placement Brochure 

Could your organisation benefit from offering a Cairnmillar graduate a workplace opportunity?

Can your organisation benefit from offering a work placement opportunity to one of Australia’s upcoming psychologists or counsellors? Our post graduate students are mature, work-place ready and able to make a difference to your agency’s workforce needs.

View our placement brochure here. 

As an industry leader in psychology and counselling education, we offer agile and responsive industry partnerships which are mutually beneficial to our partners and our students. We are regularly first-to-market with innovative courses and evidence-based training, and our graduates are ready to assist your agency through the provision of:

  • Counselling and support services
  • Health and clinical assessments
  • Facilitation of psycho-educational and support groups

A work placement graduate is your opportunity to:

  • Address workload/backlog
  • Bring up to date skills, a fresh and objective approach to your agency
  • Benefit from access to Cairnmillar resources – i.e. assessment tools for your agency
  • Enhance your corporate social responsibility by taking on students
  • Access opportunities to be involved in, and have access to research.


There’s no cost to you

Services provided by Cairnmillar come at no financial cost to you, and our graduates are workplace ready.

Entry into our programs is highly competitive and our graduates have already completed rigorous training. Our graduate students are:

  • Highly competent
  • Carefully screened for suitability to your agency
  • Have previous workplace experience
  • Many have additional qualifications

Supervision can be arranged

If you do not have a registered supervising psychologist or counselling supervisor on staff, Cairnmillar can provide supervision for all students undertaking placement.

How does the Placement Program work?

There are three simple steps involved in becoming a workplace partner.

Step 1. Deciding to Participate

Step 2. Negotiating the Terms and Conditions for the Placement

Generally, the core requirement is that students have the opportunity to see three clients per day as a minimum. Placements days (usually between 2 to 4) also vary according to the program the students are in.

Step 3. Commencement of the Placement

Once the placement has commenced, each party has responsibility for following the activities as indicated in the contract. Formal mid placement and end of placement reviews capture the progress and engagement of the student. In between these times there are many iterative points of informal follow up and review.

Interested?

If you are interested in participating in our placement program or even contributing in other ways to our course (e.g. guest speaking), please contact our placement coordinators:

Phone: +61 3 9813 3400 or 1800 391 393

Email: [email protected]

We would be more than happy to work with your agency to identify potential placement ideas and answer any questions you may have.
