Overview

Organisational Psychology registrars completing their specialty endorsement must complete supervised practice (hours vary depending on qualification). Up to 33% of supervision hours can be completed as group supervision (e.g., 26 hours when 80 total hours of supervision required). The College of Organisational Psychologists SA received approval from AHPRA to commence a structured Group Supervision Program to support Organisational Psychology registrars in completing the group supervision component of their endorsement. There will be 13 sessions of two hours each over a two-year period.

This is the fifth session of 12. The stand-alone group supervision sessions are facilitated by Board-approved, endorsed Organisational Psychologists. Each session requires active participation, self-reflection, and application of the registrars’ knowledge. There may be pre-work needed prior to sessions.
