Hi Folks,
Reaching out to the NDS Community to find out if any community health centers employ Play Therapists?
And if so whether they'd be willing to share their experience.
As a relatively 'new' profession within Australia or perhaps only more recently being accepted and recognised as an modality for child developmental support/therapy/psychosocial therapy/rehabilitation
- enterprise agreements (best fit as not clearly identified in usual awards)
- registration (multiple bodies exist for play therapist - APTA, ACLTA, APPTA, PTPA, PTAU)
- funding - i.e. NDIS - do you use 'other professional' line item, no Medicare/private health recognition, how to meet requirements of state funded services
- support for clinical supervision (as required by some accreditation bodies)
- how does this profession interplay with mental health services versus allied health therapies
Thanks in advance
