Abstract

This paper provides an overview of various regulatory, registration, accreditation and professional matters affecting professional psychology in Australia. A number of significant changes which have occurred in recent years are outlined, including a clear shift towards competency based approaches to training and supervision. Alternative routes to registration as a psychologist are briefly described together with references to an associated controversy. Australia is also facing economic threats to the viability of university based psychology training programs which means that meeting high quality standards and a adopting competency based approach while nonetheless controlling costs will be challenging.
