Professional Supervisor Accreditation
The accreditation of professional supervisors plays a critical role in maintaining the highest standards within the financial counselling profession. Accredited professional supervisors provide essential guidance, support, and development for financial counsellors, helping them navigate the challenges of their work, improve their practice, and enhance personal wellbeing.
FCVic-accredited supervisors are equipped with extensive financial counselling experience and the skills needed to foster a reflective, growth-oriented supervision environment. Accreditation ensures that financial counsellors can access professional supervision that contributes to both their personal growth and the quality of service they deliver to clients.
Under the FCVic Professional Supervision policy, to become an FCVic accredited professional supervisor, a person must satisfy the Professional Requirements, Key Selection Criteria, and any other requirements contained within the Professional Supervisor Position Description.
