Abstract

[Extract] Professional psychology in Australia has experienced significant changes in recent years. Not only has a system of national registration become mandatory for all allied health professionals, but endorsement for specialist areas of psychological practice introduced (Psychology Board of Australia,). Such changes, in addition to new federal government arrangements for the funding of psychology sessions under Medicare and the differential reimbursement rates (Department of Health and Aging, 2011), have prompted renewed debate about the distinctiveness of specialties within professional psychology in Australia, the competencies that are required to practice in specific areas, and the need for specialist postgraduate training pathways.
