The Play Therapy Practitioners Association
Advocate for the training and provision of play therapy services across Australia.
PLAY THERAPY PRACTITIONERS ASSOCIATION INC
The Play Therapy Practitioners Association was founded in 2018 by a group of likeminded professionals keen to advocate for the training and provision of play therapy services across Australia. Identifying contemporary and emerging processes for registration, PTPA was created to provide an opportunity for practitioners passionate about play therapy to access training and registration in order to practice in Australia. Additionally, the Association aims to promote the profession to the wider community in order to advocate for the approach to be used as the preferred method of therapy for children and young people.
Our Vision
For play therapy to be recognised as the preferred method for supporting children and young people therapeutically. For practitioners in the community to be able to qualify as play therapists and to allow for the growth and establishment of the profession in Australia.
