In the spirit of reconciliation, IAH acknowledges the traditional custodians throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all aboriginal and torres strait islander peoples today.
An interactive map of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities can be found here.

Students can access personal counselling through the Australian Counselling Service (ACS). ACS is AIPC’s clinical counselling division, and its pre-service counsellors (AIPC students on placement) provide high quality and highly subsidised counselling services to the general public. Appointments can be booked through the ACS website at: www.acscounselling.com.au.
Students can also visit the Australian Counselling Association website https://www.theaca.net.au/find-registered-counsellor.php where they will be provided with the names and contact details of counsellors in their locality.
