Course Rundown

The Graduate Diploma of Behaviour Therapy, offered by the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors, is a comprehensive program designed to equip graduates with the skills necessary to provide ethical and evidence-based behaviour support across various sectors, including disability, education, and mental health. This course is grounded in counselling principles and focuses on neurodiversity-affirming practices, emphasising the importance of quality of life and autonomy for individuals. Students will learn to develop practical strategies that prioritise skill development and environmental adjustments, moving away from compliance-based approaches.

Throughout the course, participants will engage in advanced training in functional behaviour assessment, intervention design, and the creation of support plans that are both ethical and effective. The curriculum fosters professional judgement and communication skills, preparing students to navigate complex service systems, including those regulated by the NDIS. With a flexible delivery format, students can choose to study full-time or part-time, allowing them to balance their education with other commitments. This program not only enhances current professional capabilities but also lays a solid foundation for further postgraduate study in the field.
