Overview
The APS hosts this webinar with the Psychology Board of Australia.
The Psychology Board of Australia (the Board) has updated how psychologists’ applications for endorsement are assessed and released a new application form.
Area of practice endorsement, identifies psychologists who have completed an approved postgraduate qualification (or a postgraduate qualification that is substantially equivalent or based on similar competencies to an approved qualification), and supervised training in an area of practice.
The Board’s updated approach to assessing applications for endorsements follows a 2022 tribunal decision involving Australian qualifications where the tribunal set aside the Board’s decision to refuse an application for endorsement on the basis that the applicant did not hold an approved qualification or another qualification that, in the Board’s opinion, was substantially equivalent to, or based on similar competences to an approved qualification.
The tribunal accepted expert evidence following an analysis that the standard, extent and learning objectives of the courses completed consecutively by the practitioner to gain two qualifications, were substantially equivalent to those of the Board-approved qualification. The tribunal directed the Board to endorse the applicant’s general registration for the area of practice endorsement.
This webinar will give you more insight and an opportunity to ask questions about this updated approach. (Guidelines on area of practice endorsements)
