There may be other University courses that have had a name change, or overseas qualifications in Rehabilitation Counselling (particularly from the USA and Canada) that qualify a person for membership, however these would need to be considered on a case-by-case basis. ASORC currently only considers accrediting courses within Australia after the Institution makes a direct application for accreditation. Initial accreditation applications attracts an accreditation fee.
The following are generally NOT sufficient for membership of ASORC (unless the membership application meets the additional requirements via the Alternative Pathway for Membership)
- Any Graduate Certificate in a related field
- Degrees or post graduate quals in Psychology (unless in the Rehab Counselling stream and listed above)
- Degrees or post graduate quals in Human Services (unless in the Rehab Counselling stream and listed above)
- Degrees or post graduate quals in Health (unless in the Rehab Counselling stream and listed above)

- Degrees or post graduate quals in Nursing

In addition:
- No TAFE courses (eg Certificate 4, Diploma or Advanced Diploma) are approved, as the minimum academic qualification is degree level.
- Some TAFE courses may articulate into Rehab Counselling undergraduate degree programs, and students may get credit for TAFE studies completed, but the potential student needs to follow this up with the University.
