Ikon Institute of Australia

Ikon is a private Institute of Higher Education in creative therapies, counselling and psychotherapy and early childhood education. Ikon has been helping people help others for over 30 years.

Ikon aims to create a difference through learning and continued professional education. The goal is to develop professionals with the knowledge and skills to contribute to an international community committed to social change, healing and learning.

Our higher education courses in creative therapies, psychotherapy and counselling, and early childhood education provide individuals with the skills and knowledge to move forward with rewarding careers. Ikon students are diverse but are connected by a common desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

We provide support to students across their life-cycle of learning; including orientation, academic skill sessions, counselling, expert lecturers, like-minded students and alumni program.

We provide a personalised educational experience that incorporates small class sizes with greater opportunities for guidance. This creates a positive impact on learning through increased time on tasks, tailored instruction and supported classroom participation.

Our involvement in the broader community, through our connections with industry, ensures content is innovative, relevant, and current to the needs of the sectors in which we operate.

Our teaching staff come from diverse backgrounds and have professional experience in the disciplines they teach, ensuring the examples they share are relevant to current practices.
