What is an intern psychologist?
In Australia, the term intern psychologist is used to describe a provisionally registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) who is undertaking a period of supervised practice to be eligible for general registration.
To achieve full registration as a psychologist in Australia, one must undertake a minimum of 4 years APAC accredited psychological study, by which time they may qualify for provisional status. At the end of 4th year of study, there are two pathway options to full registration:
- Complete a further two year post-graduate Masters program
OR
a fifth year of an accredited Masters program, plus a full year of psychological internship.
