Overview
Workshop Programme
This three-hour applied workshop equips clinicians with the tools to engage confidently and ethically with artificial intelligence in clinical settings. Participants will explore practical strategies for assessing client AI use, securing digital confidentiality, and aligning their practice with the evolving regulatory landscape.
Using interactive examples and fictitious clinical vignettes derived from teachine materials, the session will cover:
- The traffic-light model for assessing client AI use (Green–Amber–Red). • How to identify red-flag behaviours such as AI-reinforced delusion or emotional enmeshment.
- Distinguishing between clinician-grade systems (e.g., NovoNote, Heidi Health) and consumer chatbots that endanger privacy.
- The Responsible AI Index and Australia’s emerging AI Safety Guardrails, explaining the psychologist’s new role as an AI deployer.
- Real-world demonstrations of secure, offline “walled garden” systems for note drafting, supervision reflection, and ethical experimentation.
Please note: The event will be held at Jamers Kitchen, Bowden on the ground floor. There is parking available at the venue. We will be starting the workshop at 6.00pm, kindly reach at 5.30pm to get settled and started on time.
