Overview

PsyBA-approved Supervisor refresher training

Master class (Part 4) has been developed for psychologists who want to maintain their status as a Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA)-approved supervisor (principal or secondary).

Approved supervisors are eligible to enrol and attendance to this training will meet the requirements to maintain supervisory status for a further five years.

Psychologists who are not currently a PsyBA-approved supervisor can use this workshop for general CPD purposes but cannot use this workshop to gain supervisor approval.

This Master class includes a review of the group supervision process literature, including primary functions of group supervision and the phases of group supervision. It will guide participants through a range of experiential exercises that demonstrate implementation of group supervision processes in the group supervision context. Self-reflection exercises further deepen understanding of group processes during the class. Structures to support effective peer group supervision will also be discussed.
