psychological placements

Our LinkedIn posts’ new job vacancies that may meet the core competencies of the 4+2 and 5+1 internship program. We understand the hurdles when seeking suitable employment and the challenges when seeking a suitable paid psychological placement for the internship pathway.

The internship program will require you to independently source suitable employment that meets the eight core competencies set by the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA). The eight core competencies will need to be displayed in the internship plan for the 4+2 pathway (SPPR-76) or the 5+1 pathway (INPP-76). You will also need to arrange a suitable primary and secondary Board-approved supervisor before drafting a internship plan. The supervisor will need to sign off on the internship plan. Once this has been approved along with your registration as a provisional psychologist in Australia, only then will you be able to commence your psychological placement.

  • “As a clinical supervisor I have found the resources, prompts and helpful aids of the group so important in reminding us that we are never too seasoned to learn, and never too advanced to not look back and help others. The resources are always a great way to help us support our early career psychologists. Thank you!”

    Valarie L, Registered Psychologist and Clinical Supervisor

  • “English is not my first language! I have asked an external supervisor to review my first assessment case report, but after weeks of zero follow up as the person did not return any of my calls or replied to any of my messages, I gave up all hope to ever receive any feedback. So in absolute desperation I asked PPSG for a review late on a Sunday evening and to my surprise I received feedback within days! The feedback was beyond all expectation! It was not only professional and extremely helpful, but it provided options to further enrich my rapport. I recommend this service from PPSG to all provisional psychs without hesitation on my part. They go the extra length!”

    Renee D, Provisional Psychologist

  • Purchased the Internship Tracking Template - “I can’t even explain to you how much it has helped. I have had so much anxiety around excel and trying to make other intern’s overall tables work for me that I had avoided it as long as possible. This document motivated me to sit for hours getting everything up to date and realising I am over halfway through the internship. Thank you so much!!!! For someone who hates excel and numbers, it takes away all the anxiety 😊”

  • "Commencing as a provisional psychologist can be a daunting path. The journeys we all take can be as heterogeneous as we are. This forum provides a safe space to share knowledge and support. My journey now feels like I am not alone, that I am well supported and less fearful of the unknown."
