Abstract

The guidance role in Queensland is undergoing change so it is important to update our knowledge of how the changes have affected the guidance role. An 18-item questionnaire was used to obtain details of characteristics and daily work of 155 guidance officers. The results show demographic information, guidance officer:student ratios, professional membership, qualifications and daily work. These results are discussed and implications for guidance officers' work and training explored.
