Consultation paper released

19 Dec 2014

The Psychology Board of Australia has published a consultation paper which is open for feedback until 27 February 2015 and is seeking input on proposals to update the Provisional registration standard and the Guidelines for the 4+2 internship program.

The Board is asking the community and practitioners to have their say on the standard that psychologists must meet for entry into the profession as a provisional psychologist; and the requirements for developing the knowledge, skills and competence required for entry into general registration via the 4+2 internship program pathway. The consultation paper also includes exposure drafts of the General registration standard and the Policy on recency of practice requirements which have been revised following public consultation in 2014, and the proposed suite of reporting and recording forms to support the 4+2 internship program.

The Board is keen to hear from all stakeholders on any aspect of the proposed revisions to the standard or guideline. The consultation paper is available under Current consultations and the Board is accepting submissions until Friday 27 February 2015.
