Our History

In 2010, the Applied Neuroscience Society of Australasia agreed to the development of an independent body whose role would be to develop and oversee standards for certification within Australasia. It was also agreed that this new organization would be affiliated with The Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. In 2011, Biofeedback Certification International Alliance – Australia Inc (BCIA-A) was first registered in Australia and a Committee was formed. BCIA-A has an affiliate relationship with BCIA.

Our Mission

BCIA-A certifies individuals who meet education and training standards in Neurofeedback and progressively re-certifies those who satisfy continuing education requirements. In doing so, we strive to protect the welfare of consumers, to provide credibility to Neurofeedback Practitioners and advance in the field of neurofeedback.

Why Certify?

BCIA-A through its affiliation with BCIA has international recognition.
The Applied Neuroscience Society of Australasia (ANSA) recognizes BCIA-A Certification as the standard in the field.
BCIA-A Certification is recognized by the Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe (BFE), & the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) as the standard in the field.
BCIA-A Certification will be recognized by Neurofeedback Practitioners in Australia.
BCIA-A Certification provides improved status for the field of Neurofeedback and recognition amongst peers.
