What Is Board Approved Supervision?

Board approved supervision is a formal requirement for provisional psychologists working toward full registration with the Psychology Board of Australia through AHPRA. The Psychology Board of Australia requires that provisional psychologists complete a specified number of supervised practice hours under the guidance of a registered psychologist who has been approved to provide supervision.

Supervision serves both a developmental and accountability function. It supports the provisional psychologist in developing clinical skills, professional identity, and reflective practice, while ensuring that client care meets ethical and professional standards.

Available: After-hours sessions available. Flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends.

Format: Individual or group supervision

Suitable for: Provisional psychologists completing the 5+1 Registrar Programme or Higher Degree pathway requiring Psychology Board of Australia approved supervision

Not suitable for: This service is for supervision purposes only and is not a psychology or counselling service for clients.

Supervision Pathways

Our supervisors are familiar with the two primary supervised practice pathways for provisional psychologists in Australia.

5+1 Registrar Programme Supervision

The 5+1 pathway requires provisional psychologists to complete a minimum of one year of supervised practice following their undergraduate psychology degree and honours year. Supervision must be provided by a Psychology Board of Australia approved supervisor and must meet the Board's requirements for the Registrar Programme.

Higher Degree Pathway Supervision

The Higher Degree pathway is completed alongside a postgraduate degree in psychology such as a Masters or Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Educational and Developmental Psychology, or another approved area of practice. Supervision requirements vary by programme and must align with both the university and Psychology Board of Australia requirements.
