Welcome to www.cbttraining.com.au
The aim of University of Sydney’s University Department of Rural Health (Northern Rivers) Evidence-Based Training Unit is to bring state-of-the-art Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) training to Australian health professionals. While we are particularly interested in increasing CBT capacity in rural communities, health professionals from both rural and metropolitan settings are welcome at our workshops
Feedback from our 2009 participants suggests we are well on the right track.
If you’d like to subscribe to our three-monthly newsletter, click on ‘pelican button’ on the left of this page - we’ll keep you posted about new CBT ideas and resources, and will on occasions be offering special discounts for workshops.
All the 2010 workshops have been accredited for specialist college PD points by the Australian Psychological Society (see under each workshop). The Essential Skills for CBT and Depression and Anxiety programs have also been accredited for PD points by Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine.
Due to the success of the 2009 CBT program, we are offering an extended program in 2010.
We have:
- 3 Essential Skills for CBT certificate programs for those who are starting out or do a bit of CBT (February, May, September)
- 2 Evidence-based CBT for Anxiety and Depression certificate programs for those who have formulation skills and essential CBT skills already under their belt (April, November)
- 4 Workshops for Advanced Practitioners: 2 New Workshops (Trauma Focused CBT, Maps of Therapist Growth) in May, and a re-run of last year’s successful Lighthouse Week (Compassion-focused CBT, Mindfulness) in August
Our aim is to make a real difference to your practice
You’ll find our approach refreshing and invigorating. There are no boring lectures. You'll participate in lively teaching sessions, observe demonstrations and do lots of role-plays and self-experiential work.
Note that there are discounts for early bird registration and full week participation in workshops. We recommend booking early. We restrict numbers on most programs to ensure quality. Some workshops were booked out 4-6 weeks in advance in 2009.

We have one other aim .... that you have a great break from your ‘usual life’ on the beautiful north coast of NSW. Relaxation facilitates creativity and learning. And where better to relax and enhance your cognitive behaviour therapy skills than in that pearl of the Australian seascape, Byron Bay?
