Compassion in clinical supervision

Closes 1 January 2026

Want to help the next generation of Psychologists? Then keep reading!!

We’re looking for:

  • Experienced Supervisors (registered in Australia as a Psychologist, have 3 or more years of supervisory experience and hold Board Approved Supervisor status, or
  • Early Career Supervisees (registered in Australia as a Psychologist and full registration was gained within the last 0-3 years.)

...to help us understand what compassion in supervision is and find out if it helps early career clinicians. Participation consists of anonymous survey responses to questions such as 1) What role do you think compassion plays in the supervisory process? and 2) How might you define “compassion in supervision?” 

Participants who complete the survey will be provided a chance to enter a draw to win 1 of 10 $50 Prezzee e-gift cards (conditions apply, please view PLIS for details.) In addition, your important contribution will aid professional understanding of the role of compassion in supervision, allowing us to make recommendations to improve supervision, to in turn improve clinician wellbeing.
