Master of Professional Psychology

After graduating from the Master of Professional Psychology, you may obtain registration as a general psychologist following completion of a final year of a supervised internship approved by the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA). Registration as a general psychologist through completion of a Master of Professional Psychology, in conjunction with a PsyBA-approved practice internship, is referred to as the '5+1' internship pathway to registration. Provisionally registered psychologists must complete the National Psychology Examination before applying for general registration as a psychologist. Once you have achieved general registration as a psychologist, you can work in any area of psychology that is within your scope of competence and uses the title 'psychologist'.
