PSYC5522 and PSYC5523 commence from August 2025.The figure below summarises the GCAD units and modes of delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many students do you accept into the GCAD per year?

Usually about 15-25 each year/in each cohort, sometimes a few more and sometimes a few less depending on how many applicants meet the admission requirements, and teacher-student ratio in the applied/practical units PSYC5522 and PSYC5523.

Do I have to have previous clinical experience assessing or supporting autistic individuals to be offered a place in the GCAD?

Previous or current clinical experience assessing and/or supporting autistic children, young people or adults is not essential (relevant clinical experience with children, adolescents or adults is required), but it is always helpful and is therefore desirable. Please ensure to outline any autism relevant experience in your CV and/or personal statement. We have accepted applicants who have limited experience working with autistic individuals but who are currently in roles where they can apply their GCAD training.

Do I need to live in or travel to Perth to study the GCAD?

The course is now delivered fully online, therefore we accept students from all over Australia. We also accept applicants from New Zealand. You do not need to live or travel to Perth to complete the course.

We are currently not able to accept international applicants outside of Australia and New Zealand for our 2025 GCAD intake. However, professionals outside of Australia and New Zealand who are interested in further developing their knowledge in autism diagnosis can enrol and complete one or more of the autism diagnosis microcredential courses available for enrolment via UWA Plus.

How long will it take me to complete the GCAD?

The GCAD is completed part-time. This means you can study the GCAD part-time while working. You can choose to complete the GCAD part-time in one or in two calendar years.
The Tables below show the approximate structure and timeline for part-time study over one or two years.

Year / Teaching period	GCAD Courses / Units completed part-time in one year
2025 teaching period 1Q (01/01/25 - 31/03/25)	PSYCM512, 513, 514 (obtaining advanced credit for GCAD unit PSYC2250)

2026 (usually August)	PSYC5522 (ADOS-2)
2026 (usually September-December)	PSYC5523 (applied practical unit)

What is the GCAD's approach to understanding, diagnosing and supporting autistic people?

The GCAD is informed by Australian and other international guidelines for the assessment and diagnosis of autism. We adopt a lifespan approach and consider identification and diagnosis to be an important step towards understanding, accepting, and supporting autistic people. The program staff view autism as a difference and adopt neuroaffirming and respectful language and perspectives. The autism diagnosis microcredential courses and GCAD units draw from evidence from co-produced research with autistic people and the lived experiences of autistic people. We explore social issues and barriers relating to diagnosis. We also explore and reflect on autistic people's experiences of the diagnostic process and the ways in which a respectful and collaborative diagnostic process can be implemented.

Ranking and Selection Process

Where relevant, admission will be awarded to the highest ranked applicants or applicants selected based on-

Fashion Design Courses overview

Fashion design is artistic expression applied to clothing and accessories. It requires an eye for detail, aesthetic appreciation and knowledge of past and contemporary social trends. Postgraduate study has students make invaluable industry connections, as well as providing a creative space to develop theoretical and practical design capabilities for later use in the industry.

It’s hard to trace the exact origins of fashion design, but its beginnings are often attributed to Charles Frederick Worth, an Englishman born in 1825. His relocation to Paris in 1945 saw impoverished beginnings, but this changed with his ever-increasing notoriety as a designer. Demand for luxury goods soared as Napoleon III turned Paris into a cultural capital, thus improving Worth’s career prospects and eventually the entire fashion industry.

The city is still central to fashion design through renowned events like Paris Fashion Week. Professionals in this field work tirelessly to realise their visions of beauty and creative expression through state-of-the-art design techniques and theory.

Is fashion design for me?

Fashion design demands exceptional creativity of its practitioners. Original ideas and reinvention of old ones are keys to success. In addition, professionals must be exceptional at networking, as it is a ruthless industry to the unconnected. Therefore if you’re creative, highly ambitious and charismatic, fashion design could be for you.

Study pathway

Master degrees are the most common pathway, providing a well-rounded knowledge of the craft. Institutions like RMIT offer these courses to students with a prior bachelor degree in fashion design so long as they obtained a credit GPA (65%). The course itself takes two years of full time study to complete, or up to four years part time. Units offered are fairly distinct from other master programs, offering time in a fashion studio, professional engagement practice and fashion design research to name a few features.

Employment options

The following are just some of the options available to fashion design postgraduates.

Fashion designer

These professionals design clothing under any one of the three main schools of fashion design.

Haute couture: Derived from the French term for ‘high-sewing,’ haute couture refers to the design of clothing designed specifically for one individual. Entering this field is highly demanding and famously difficult, but those that do reap exceptional rewards.
Prêt-à-porter: This term translates to ‘ready-to-wear,’ representing a cross between high end fashion and mass market clothing. Ralph Lauren Corporation is known for its high-end consumer attire, making it the perfect employer for aspirants to this school of design.
Mass market: This is for widely produced garments and accessories, as the term denotes. Graduates will experience the least resistance entering this field and can seek employment for companies like H&M or Adidas.

Retail buyer

These professionals must select which items to sell at retail outlets. They are responsible for sourcing new merchandise and ensuring it will appeal to customers. Graduates are well-suited to this field due to their comprehensive understanding of fashion trends and design. Those with business administration qualifications alongside fashion design are particularly well suited.

Textile designers

Unlike fashion design, textile design is about producing the two-dimensional plans used in the production of clothing and accessories. Professionals work in one of two specialisations.

Interiors such as carpets or upholstery, or
Clothing for fashion or specialist purposes

Companies like Poco Print or Fashion DNA Studio thrive on employing fashion design graduates.
