The Queensland Institute of Play Therapy is an educational institution based in Brisbane, Queensland. Its mission is to raise the standard of Play Therapy in Queensland and across Australia.
The QIPT curriculum has been built from comprehensive research of the current literature within the global Play Therapy community, and thousands of hours of hands-on practice of Play Therapy. The result is a series of workshops that deliver both the theoretical underpinning of how children and families work, as well as practical techniques and skills to apply in the play room.
Students of QIPT gain the skills needed to apply Play Therapy effectively and safely, and also benefit from a comprehensive theoretical safety-net to fall back on when faced with difficult clients.
