Psychologists must comply with the APS Code of Ethics.
They have extensive training in ethical practice that are designed to protect both the integrity of the profession and the rights and safety of the public, including children in schools.
Psychologists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Authority which means that they have formal accredited qualifications, they have an obligation to have up to date learning and they are subject to a formal complaints process.
Many school psychologists also have formal teaching qualifications. All of this means that school psychologists have a high level of expertise and can offer your child the best available support for difficulties they might be experiencing at school.
