Counsellor Duties & Salary in Australia

In Australia, a counselor plays a crucial role in providing mental health support and guidance to individuals facing various challenges. They work in diverse settings, including private practices, schools, community centers, and government agencies. One exciting fact is that Australia has a strong emphasis on mental health awareness and support, with initiatives like "R U OK?" Day, a national day dedicated to inspiring conversations and reducing stigma around mental health issues.

The main duties of a counselor in Australia include conducting one-on-one therapy sessions, assessing clients' needs, developing treatment plans, and offering coping strategies. They may specialize in areas such as marriage and family counseling, addiction counseling, or career counseling. A significant demand for counselors exists in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, but opportunities also extend to regional areas where mental health services are essential.

Key skills for counselors in Australia include empathy, active listening, and cultural sensitivity, given the country's diverse population. To practice as a counselor, one typically needs a Bachelor's or Master's degree in counseling or psychology and registration with a professional body like the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) or the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

The expected salary range for counselors in Australia varies based on experience and location. Entry-level counselors can earn around AUD 50,000 to AUD 70,000 per year, while experienced professionals in major cities may earn between AUD 70,000 to AUD 100,000 annually. Hourly rates typically range from AUD 25 to AUD 70, depending on the setting and specialization.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know I will be paid for my gig? arrow-right
Our leading payment provider will independently hold the money, for security and peace of mind for the gig worker, as well as a robust disputes policy and reducing fraud on the platform. Once you have completed the work, the gig lister will be notified and they will release payment once they are satisfied with the work completed, as outlined and agreed in the gig listing. For more information about pay in general, go to our Help Centre pay section
If I get introduced to someone via the gigexchange, should I complete all work through them in the future? arrow-right
This is your choice. If you wish to use us simply for establishing trust with new relationships then take them off-platform once established, we are happy with that. We do not want our customers to feel like hostages. When you need a new relationship, we will be here for you again.
Why are we so much cheaper than competitor sites? arrow-right
We are founded and developed by gig workers of the NZ economy. We passionately care about driving down the cost of business and increasing opportunities for all. We have developed a platform we believe can do this for you. We hope by creating a marketplace combing all ways of working and advertising, along with working and designing smarter, we can reduce our costs, so we don’t have to offset them onto you. We call that empowering the win-win. For more information see our fair pricing policy.
Why do I need to upload my passport or driving license? arrow-right
You are uploading this information to Stripe, so they can validate you, which in turn builds trust for potential customers. This enhances the payment framework and yourself as a result, building another tier of trust and reputation inside our marketplace.
Are gig workers verified? Can I trust them? arrow-right
All gig workers must be identity verified by Stripe when registering as a gig worker. This adds an additional level of trust to our platform. Because we offer a reputation service, you can also see all historical work conducted by the worker. This quickly builds trust within the marketplace, but also removes fraudsters and scammers. Any behaviour that breaches our platform standards results in those worker being removed from our platform.
