What Is a Provisional Psychologist?
A Provisional Psychologist has completed an accredited undergraduate psychology degree and is now in the final supervised stage of their professional training — either a postgraduate degree or a Board-approved internship (the 5+1 pathway) — as required by the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA).
Every session is backed by regular clinical supervision from an experienced, fully registered Board-Approved Supervisor. This ensures the quality and safety of your care — at a more accessible price point.
