Abstract
Background
This paper presents an analysis of the current research landscape within the Australian counselling profession, identifying key challenges and proposing a strategic approach to building research capacity.
Problem Statement
Written by a taskforce of educational leaders, it reports their perceptions and experiences of the multifaceted challenges hindering research development. These challenges encompass the limited pipeline of future doctoral-trained counselling educators, the barriers to promotion opportunities for current counsellor educators, and the impact these deficits may have on the profession overall.
Proposed Solutions
To address these challenges, the paper proposes a series of targeted strategies aimed at stakeholders across the research ecosystem.
Conclusion
The intention of disseminating these strategies is to support counselling professionals in other regions who may be interested in further development of their own research capacity.
