About the Event:
Please join us on our Sydney Campus for our inaugural Alumni Showcase and Networking event.
Alumni, current students and Academic staff are all invited and it will be a great way to re-connect.
Three of our alumni will be speaking on the night. They’ll be speaking about what led them to study with us and what they are doing now.
This will be a great opportunity for current students and alumni to get ideas of what they can do with their course. Or perhaps even provide another path that you may not have realised was available to you.
Food and Beverages will be served on the night so please make sure you register so that we can cater accordingly.
Come find out who ACAP is now and where we’re heading.
Looking forward to seeing you.

Featured Alumni:
Stephanie
As a Family Practitioner at OzChild, I work with families with high & complex needs that are referred to our Functional Family Therapy - Child Welfare (FFT-CW) program by the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ). These families have been reported for Child Protection concerns, and are at risk of removal due to Domestic and Family Violence, Child abuse or neglect, or substance abuse. I work with these families in their homes every week for up to 9 months as I spend time understanding their culture, family history, and problem pattern. I work in a highly autonomous role with flexible hours. This is important to me because it allows me to spend time with my family and children. I also provide clinical supervision through my private practice.

I am now undertaking a postgraduate history degree .

I manage a team of 35 after hours crisis response counsellors, as well as, managing a day-to-day counselling load.
Our service has two streams, the 24/7 crisis response for people who present at RPAH ED reporting sexual assault and I am part of a team of forensic medical officers and counsellors who attend these consults.The second stream is for people who are looking for counselling for past SA and CSA.
