Clinical Supervision Training (Online Delivery)

PACFA Approved Online THRIVE Supervision Training

Building Excellence in Mental Health Supervision

Our PACFA-approved THRIVE supervision training program is specifically designed for counsellors, psychotherapists, and mental health professionals who want to develop comprehensive supervision skills while meeting professional accreditation requirements. This fully online program combines the flexibility of remote learning with the engagement of interactive workshops and structured group experiences.

What THRIVE Means

The THRIVE framework encompasses six essential elements of effective supervision: Tailored client support that adapts to individual supervisee needs, Headway in career and private practice development, Reflective practice that deepens clinical skills, Information and administration management, Vital self-care strategies, and ongoing Education and professional development. This comprehensive approach ensures graduates can provide supervision that truly supports both supervisees and their clients.

Program Structure

The training unfolds in two complementary phases. The intensive 3-day live online component takes place on Thursday 20th, Friday 21st, and Saturday 22nd November 2025, running from 9:00am to 5:00pm AEST each day via Zoom. This foundational experience is followed by 14 hours of PACFA-approved online group work conducted over a minimum three-month period, allowing participants to consolidate their learning through practical application and peer collaboration.

Investment Options

Participants can choose from flexible pricing arrangements to suit their needs. The 3-day training component is available for $1,190, while the 14-hour group work component costs $660. Those who commit to the complete experience save $160 with our package price of $1,690, and payment plans are available to make the investment more manageable.

Comprehensive Learning Experience

Throughout the program, participants explore the theoretical foundations and practical frameworks that underpin effective supervision. The curriculum covers individual, group, and peer supervision formats while addressing the critical supervisory roles and responsibilities that define professional practice. Participants also delve into legal, ethical, and risk management considerations that are essential for safe and effective supervision.

The program places particular emphasis on understanding stress, burnout, and resilience within supervision contexts, equipping participants with strategies to support supervisees facing challenges and resistance. Practical elements include documentation systems, contract development, note-keeping protocols, and the business aspects of building a successful private supervision practice.

Recognition and Credentials

Graduates receive a Certificate of Attainment in Supervision that is fully recognised by PACFA and accepted for College of Supervision eligibility. This credential demonstrates your competence to provide effective, ethical, and professional supervision within the Australian mental health landscape.

Why This Program Stands Apart

The PACFA approval ensures national recognition and supports career progression within the mental health sector. Upon completion, participants gain direct eligibility for the prestigious College of Supervision. The flexible online delivery model accommodates busy professionals while maintaining the quality of live interaction through Zoom sessions and structured group learning experiences.

The program's practical focus means participants engage with real-world case studies, participate in roleplay scenarios, and work with supervision tools they can implement immediately in their practice. Expert trainers with extensive supervision education backgrounds guide participants through each element of the THRIVE framework, ensuring comprehensive skill development that translates directly to professional competence.
