Paying for Clinical Supervision Training

Please read the below Clinical Supervision Training payment information before registering for this course.

There are two differing prices for this course. The price difference between the below options reflects the extra costs involved in delivering workshop days in-person, including (but not limited to) venue cost overheads and each day's catering (morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea).

  • $1870.00 (incl. GST); the online delivery cost (where workshop days are delivered via Zoom)
  • $1980.00 (incl. GST); the in-person delivery cost (where workshop days are delivered at The Bouverie Centre in Brunswick, VIC)

When clicking the "Register Now" button above (or navigating to the Registration section below), you will find a number of options to choose from:

  • The top options outline the different rounds available to choose from. Each of these represent different sets of workshop dates and their respective delivery modes. Selecting one of these options will allow you to immediately secure your place in your chosen round by paying upfront using a credit/debit card via La Trobe University's online payment gateway.
  • The bottom option, "I require an invoice to pay", is available to anyone who requires an invoice before making payment*. Selecting this option will allow you to choose from any of the available rounds of CST above it. Once you have completed the registration form and clicked "Submit registration", we will be notified, and we will raise an invoice for you via La Trobe University Finance. If you or your organisation are an existing La Trobe University customer, you should receive your invoice within 3-5 business days. If you or your organisation are a new customer, this process may take up to 10 business days.**

 * When selecting this option, you will need to provide the below billing information at registration:

  • Your organisation’s name for billing purposes
  • Your organisation’s address for billing purposes
  • Your organisation’s ABN
  • Your organisation’s best contact's email address for receiving this invoice

 ** Payment is required before your chosen CST round commences. You will not be granted access to the first self-paced online module (completion of which is required before your first workshop day) until payment is received.

Course overview

Quality supervision is consistently identified as a practice that directly benefits workers, agencies, and clients. Effective supervision increases job satisfaction and morale, ensures clients are receiving optimal care through better communication and collaboration, enables reflection and learning, and builds a culture of better practice and innovation.

Clinical Supervision Training comprises a mixture of theory and practice relating to supervision and covers a range of topics including supervision models, trauma-informed supervision, early conversations and contracting, feedback, ethical issues, power, diversity, questioning, intersectionality, and use of self. It also involves opportunities to practice clinical supervision.

Reference is made to the difference between line-management and clinical supervision, though the training emphasis is on clinical supervision. Group Supervision is not covered as a specific area in this course, though the frameworks shared will be relevant.

What will you learn?

This course will enable you to:

  • Create and sustain a supervisory relationship that prioritises psychological safety and provides developmentally appropriate challenge to support supervisees

  • Describe a range of supervision modes, methods, and models, and identify or build on your own supervision practice model

  • Identify the roles and tasks within supervision, and factors which enhance the process, and ensure professionalism

  • Apply a range of techniques for giving and eliciting feedback in supervision

  • Identify and respond to areas such as intersectionality, neurodiversity, culture, power, class, age, and gender in supervision

  • Consider the organisational context of supervision

  • Apply a range of skills relating to 'use of self' within supervision

  • Describe self and collective care, and develop a care plan

  • Presenters ensure the workshop material is relevant to you and your specific work context

I am getting an error when I try to log into my LMS account. Can you help?

I want to enrol multiple staff in a short course. How do I go about this? 

Contact LaTrobeProfessional@latrobe.edu.au so that we can discuss options with you.  

What certification will I receive?

The type of certification depends on the assessment involved in the course. For example:

  • Microcredentials:  You will receive a digital credential that confirms the skills you’ve acquired, any assessments you’ve completed and potential pathways for credit or advanced standing towards a degree. 
  • Other assessed short courses:  This may include bridging programs or courses that prepare you for external certification from a professional body.  You might receive a certificate of achievement or a digital badge (a digital version of a certificate of achievement).
  • Non-assessed courses:  If a course doesn’t involve formal assessment, you’ll receive a certificate of attendance.
  • Single-subject enrolment: If you enrol in a single subject, you will receive an official transcript for that subject.

Please note that short courses or microcredentials are not formal qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework but may be eligible for consideration as advanced standing (credit) towards a degree.

What is a microcredential? 

Microcredentials are short courses that are assessed, carry academic credit, and to deliver specific skills or knowledge.  While they can be taken as standalone courses, many are designed to be combined or ‘stacked’ with other microcredentials to form the equivalent of a subject within a degree program.  Upon successful completion, you’ll earn a digital credential that outlines the skills and credit obtained, and any opportunities for stacking.

For La Trobe microcredentials, any advanced standing or stacking pathways are clearly expressed on the course page.   

What is advanced standing?

Advanced standing refers to credit for prior study or formal learning that can be credited towards a qualification, thereby reducing the number of subjects required to complete a course. For short courses or microcredentials (if these have been completed through recognised institutions or platforms and are deemed equivalent to La Trobe University subjects), credit may be granted either for specific La Trobe subjects or as unspecified credit towards elective requirements of a La Trobe course.

For La Trobe microcredentials, any advanced standing or stacking pathways are clearly expressed on the course page.   Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a digital credential, which may be used when applying for credit for the relevant degree at La Trobe.
