New training reforms are on the horizon. Is there really a shortage of supervisors?

A new pathway for becoming a psychologist

22/04/2026

Big regulatory update from Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency:

From April 2026, sexual misconduct findings will be permanently recorded on the public register — and applied retrospectively.

This is a major shift toward greater transparency and public safety, with clearer, more accessible information about serious misconduct.

If you’ve done our Code of Conduct course, we’ll keep sending updates like this as they happen.

Stay ahead of the changes with training designed by psychologists, for psychologists, giving you the confidence, clarity, and support you need in this new era.

Rural and remote practice isn’t just “metro practice with fewer services.”

Under the 2025 updates from the Psychology Board of Australia and expanded guidance from the Australian Psychological Society, context matters — not as an excuse, but as an ethical consideration.

In small communities:

• Dual relationships may be unavoidable
• Referral pathways may be limited
• Emergency response times may be long
• Telehealth increases access — but doesn’t erase geography

The question shifts from “Can I avoid this?” to
👉 “How do I manage this transparently and defensibly?”

From boundary management to emergency planning and working within competence, rural ethics is not weaker — it’s often more complex and more deliberate.

Are your decisions structured with context in mind?

Our latest blog, Rural and Remote Practice: When Access and Boundaries Collide, explores what the 2025 Code and APS guidance mean for psychologists outside metropolitan settings.

If you’d like to strengthen your understanding of the updated Code of Competencies and professional obligations, we offer targeted trainings to support you.

Welcome to our newest member Allison Haynes!

Allison has taken advantage of our new cover photo option and it looks fabulous. Let's let Alison introduce themself.

Hi!

My name is Allison and I am a lived experience multiply neurodivergent psychologist (AuDHD, plus some add ons!). My special interest is in psychology, autism, ADHD and specifically assessments. My full day AuDHD assessment training has been taken by nearly 1000 psychs, with no complaints yet!

My supervision style is a lot like my therapy style: fiercely client centered, flexible, unmasked and safe.

I LOVE one supervision for those complex assessment cases or tricky therapy cases. A very close second love is facilitating provisional psychs (particularly ND provs) to develop their skills while learning how to balance this demanding career with all the other life needs.

My fees:

provisional supervision: $230 per hour

Specialist supervision: $280 per hour plus GST
