    I left a message, but no doubt they are inundated. Thanks for the reassurance.

    Is your current course an accredited course with APAC? You might find that it is not, which would explain why it would translate to a Bachelor of Counselling rather than psychology. If you have a look at the APS website it has a link to APAC which lists all the accredited courses which will actually end up with you being able to become a registered psychologist, instead of a counsellor (if that's what you want to do). The APS website also has information about study pathways, etc. and which courses are approved by APAC (Australian Psychology Accreditation Council) and PsycBA (Psychology Board of Australia).

    Definitely have a chat to a course advisor at ACU, maybe see if you can call directly? I know my uni has a student support helpline that puts you in touch with the program advisors relevant to your course.

    Good luck with what you decide.
