Abstract
This paper explores the current and future status of the counselling profession in Australia. It reviews the progress and challenges of the profession in terms of recognition, regulation, training, and research. Envisioning a successful future, it attempts to describe that future and how the profession succeeded in accomplishing its goal of full recognition. The paper aims to stimulate ideas and discussions among counsellors and stakeholders to achieve a unified, consistent, and recognised profession that can meet the contemporary needs of Australian society.
