CAPA was founded in 2011 to support the community in a professional and ethical way.
We also support our colleagues trained in psychology and have Portuguese as their first language and we support their development for registration here in Australia.
Our internal values:
We work with a theoretical and practical cohesion (of the intake, evaluation and treatment planning) where we are committed to studies and constant evaluation of our work.
