ACSA Sub-committees

Sub-committees

All ACSA sub-committees provide advice and make recommendations to the Management Committee on the roles and tasks required by the association to promote generic clinical supervision in Australia. They liaise and work with other sub-committees to promote the practice of clinical supervision.

Communications Sub-committee

The Communications sub-committee is responsible for major communications both internally and externally. It consists of various branches comprising the newsletter, social media, marketing emails, website-based email communications and the association’s website. It includes the social media team who develops and maintains Facebook and Twitter profiles, and information technology team, which maintains the association’s email and marketing communications and website.

Editorial Sub-committee

The Editorial sub-committee, as it name suggest, is responsible for developing the peer-reviewed ACSA Journal. The Editor will approach individuals who may be interested in authoring articles that would be published on Research Gate and the ACSA website. ACSA will form a Peer Review Panel comprised of academics and experts in the field. If you want to write about your clinical supervision experience, expertise, research, education, or policy development, consider writing for the ACSA Journal. 

Multidisciplinary Networking Sub-committee

The Multidisciplinary Networking sub-committee is a vehicle for bringing together formally appointed representatives from a wide range of professional colleges and associations that value clinical supervision. The association gains direct knowledge of each profession’s unique position on clinical supervision, as does each college and association represented. Shared dialogue allows for the emergence of a common-factors consensus on generic clinical supervision. The sub-committee makes recommendations on generic and specialist standards, guidelines, and education matters, and is a practical way for ACSA to embody its vision of being a peak body for clinical supervision in Australia.

Standards Sub-committee

The Standards sub-committee is responsible for creating and maintaining professional documents to enable the association’s standards and policies on clinical supervision in Australia. It develops and reviews standards of generic clinical supervision practice, including codes of ethics for clinical supervisors. This sub-committee liaises closely with the Assessment and Accreditation and Multidisciplinary Networking sub-committees in order to develop and establish national guidelines for clinical supervision practice from a generic multidisciplinary professional perspective. It is responsible for official or formal documents that are required for the ongoing business and professional operations of the association.
