Australia Psychology Board Registration Standards 2025 R-1: Meet a recency of practice option

At application or renewal of registration or endorsement a psychologist or provisional psychologist has, within the previous five years, completed at least 250 hours of practice as a registered or provisional psychologist (or equivalent overseas), or a Board-approved program of study, or a Board-approved internship or other period of Board-approved supervised practice. Practice includes non-clinical roles that use psychological knowledge. Recent graduates applying for the first time, and non-practising registrants, are outside the standard.
