About us
As established, by the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA), a clinical psychologist is one of the areas of psychology that a psychologist can be approved to practice.
A clinical psychologist performs a university degree in psychology followed by a higher research degree at the master's or doctoral level. A clinical psychologist undergoes a minimum of 6 years in university training, followed by an additional 2-year registration practice program for a total of more than 8 years.
What we do
A clinical psychologist is trained in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses and important psychological problems. A clinical psychologist must practice in accordance with the science professional's model that requires a clinical psychologist to provide evidence-based practice and apply psychological theory and evidence-based research to address complex clinical mental health problems. A clinical psychologist can participate in the design and implementation of treatment strategies and evaluation of these results. You may be asked to complete a pre and post test measure to determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
