I’ve just found out you can apply for VET Fee help for diploma courses, not just degrees. I need to wait until Feb 2017, to start an on campus degree Uni course, for various reasons.
So, a counselling diploma in the gap next year, would be useful and helpful and keep me busy 🙂
So contacting ACAP about the VET Fee help part, just to make sure I would be eligible. I’m itching to start studying and this may be a great route, a diploma, prior to the degree in either counselling or psychology – whichever I decide upon.
Emailed for info.
Update, I’ve already checked and I am eligible for the VET FEE help, so I’m applying for the course, to commence Feb 2016.
After that, I will start a 3 year Bachelor of Psychology/Social Sciences/Counselling (not sure which yet), and then will need to continue on with further post grad study towards a Ph.D. And all the needed supervision work.
So, I’m signing myself up for potentially 7+ years of study….
That’s not at all overwhelming…. lol!

The seven years of study will be easy for You. Look at how much you have learned on your own. It will be a great journey. ( Those crazy so called Christians will not be able to hold a candle to you . You will leave them in the dust.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, I appreciate your confidence in me! I think you have more, than I do lol!
I do have a level of psychology understanding, but much more to learn and professional study is needed. Especially for a lot of people to actually take me seriously.
If I do complete a degree and masters etc, it will help me in my work to help others.

It’s government assistance for further education fees, offered in Australia, to Australian residents.
