The Psychology Board of Australia (the Board) has introduced new requirements for psychologists’ professional development. Registered psychologists will be required to undertake a minimum of 30 hours PD activities annually, of which 10 hours must be supervision. The Board recommendation is that at least 10 hours must be active PD. The VPA runs PD Seminars for members which meet the requirements of the Psychology Board of Australia.

The next VPA PD activity will be held at the Treacy Conference Centre Parkville on Thursday 16 September 2010.

If you work in the public sector you are entitled to paid Professional Development leave to attend – apply for leave now so that you can attend. Most members employed under private sector enterprise agreements are also entitled to paid professional development leave. Please contact us if you are having difficulty getting your application for PD leave approved.
