COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE TRAINING

MCA provides the highest level of skill and professionalism in its training program. Our graduates are mentored into case work by observation and supervised practise.  They are required to participate in continued professional development. 

MCA training is unique in Australia in providing training by a lawyer, psychologist and financial planner.   Our trainees learn together in an interdisciplinary context, essential for working in interdisciplinary collaborative practice.
