What do I need to submit my application:
If you have completed a Bachelor Degree or Masters Degree in counselling that meets PACFA training standards, you have the option of also joining PACFA as a Member Association Member. This additional membership is a free benefit for CCAA members whose training meets PACFA standards. You, however, will need to apply to PACFA to become a Member Association Member independently.
You can apply to join PACFA as a Member Association Member (MAM) through this link: Join PACFA (MAM) You will need to upload a single PDF file of your transcripts of your counselling training courses, and your current CCAA membership certification. PACFA may require your counselling contract and supervision logs. PACFA offers a discount on the membership application fee for member association members applying for MAM.
Member Association Members have the same benefits as Individual PACFA members, plus your annual membership is free. (The PACFA Individual Membership fee currently is $426). Refer to PACFA Membership Benefits
If you are registered with Bupa or any private health provider through ACA you will not be able to transfer your provider number if you join CCAA. PACFA, however, has a similar agreement with health providers, but it is for Registered Clinical Counsellors. If you qualify for CCAA Clinical membership and PACFA MAM membership, you may be able to continue with your provider, please contact PACFA for details. If you do not meet PACFA’s requirements, don’t let that stop you without first asking, “How many clients am I getting through my private health provider?” or simply also maintain your membership with ACA.
