Psychology Board of Australia – Supervisor Training
Since 2013, the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) has required psychologists who provide supervision to provisional and registered psychologists to be accredited through approved supervision training (parts 1 to 3), and that this skillset is maintained through regular approved training (masterclasses).
Psychologists who wish to become a PsyBA-approved supervisor need to meet eligibility criteria (see PsyBA website for further information) and go through the Full Supervisor Training, which consists of three parts: 1) Knowledge assessment; 2) Skills training workshop; and 3) Competency-based assessment and evaluation. Psychologists who are already PsyBA-approved supervisors need to attend at least one Master Classes every 5 years to maintain their PsyBA approved supervisor status.
Part 1 – Knowledge Assessment. UNSW Forensic Psychology Clinic does not provide part one of the supervision training model (please see this link for other AHPRA accredited trainers who provide part one training).
Part 2 - Skills Training Workshop (Prerequisite – completion of Part 1: Knowledge Assessment)
Part 3 - Competency-based Assessment and Evaluation (Prerequisite – completion of Part 2: Skills Training Workshop)
Supervision Master Classes. Accredited supervisors are required to attend a one day workshop every five years to maintain their status. (Supervisors can also attend a two day part 2 training if desired). The masterclasses we provide include:
The supervision training provided focuses on supervisors who are intending on providing supervision for higher placement or endorsement supervision. Some training are subsidised if you are able to provide higher education placements for students who are in UNSW Psychology Master of Psychology (Forensic or Clinical) programs – please contact Anita McGregor at amcgregor@unsw.edu.au (forensic program) or Chien Gooi (c.gooi@unsw.edu.au in the clinical program) if you believe you may qualify for the subsidy prior to registration. Only one subsidy ‘voucher’ per individual will be provided in a calendar year (i.e., if a subsidized participant needs to cancel, they will need to wait until the following calendar year to register for another subsidized spot).
Additionally, if you represent a group of psychologists from a particular area, and prefer a more focused training or have any general queries about the training provided by the UNSW Forensic Psychology Clinic, please contact us at supervision@unsw.edu.au for further information.
All training provided in Sydney at the UNSW Kensington Campus (unless otherwise noted) or online. Notification of confirmation of class location, timing (usually 9am to 5pm) and other directions will be provided one to two weeks prior to the workshop. We reserve the right to cancel/reschedule or move to online any workshops due to lack of participants or to other reasonable issues.
