Counselling and Careers Service 
 

Counselling & Careers Service provides support and assistance in a variety of areas including careers, education and personal issues.

TAFE Counsellors provide a free, friendly and professional service to enrolled students as well as to people planning to study in TAFE NSW.

Future students can meet with TAFE Counsellors for advice on the best possible choice of course for their planned career, or to explore possible career pathways.

Enrolled TAFE students gain assistance from TAFE Counsellors with a range of issues including:

  • educational and course planning
  • career choice, development or change
  • job seeking skills
  • educational difficulties
  • study skills development
  • personal problems concerning such things as relationships, health, sexuality, financial hardship, anxiety and depression
  • referral to other services (such as legal, medical, or financial)

You can also call in and collect brochures and information on topics of interest - no strings attached!

Our counsellors are friendly and approachable. They are available Monday to Friday, including some evenings by appointment.
