38 15. Why should I hold an endorsement? Informs the public of your qualifications and experience Use of title e.g., clinical psychologist Supervise higher degree students on placement Provide principal supervision to psychology registrars Some employers require endorsement Note: National Law protects title, not practice 19

39 16. National Psychology Exam Exam commenced in July 2013 Higher degree graduates are exempt (until 30 June 2016) Assess applied psychological knowledge and competencies Multiple choice (150 questions in 3.5 hours) Curriculum and reading list available on Board s website To be taken by: o Applicants for general registration on completion of 4+2 internship (after July 2014) o Applicants for general registration on completion of 5+1 internship (after July 2014) o Overseas qualified applicants (from July 2013) o Those not meeting the Recency of practice standard 20

40 17. Maintaining general registration Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) 30 hours (including 10 hours of peer consultation) Recency of practice Must have practiced as a registered psychologist in the past 5 years Impairment Do not have an impairment that is likely to affect practice Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) Must not practice without PII 21

41 18. Mandatory Notifications where the practitioner has: (a) practised their profession while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs; or (b) engaged in sexual misconduct in connection with the practice of their profession; or (c) placed the public at risk of substantial harm in their practice of the profession because the practitioner has an impairment; or (d) placed the public at risk of harm because the practitioner has practised the profession in a way that constitutes a significant departure from accepted professional standards. 22

42 19. Voluntary Notifications (complaints) Where the threshold for a Mandatory notification is not met. Typically, complaints are made about: impairment lack of competence criminal behaviour unethical conduct 23

43 20. Outcomes: Notifications / complaints Managed by NSW Psychology Council: Request a health assessment Impose conditions on registration (usually around accessing treatment and attending supervision) Order that the psychologist complete a specified educational course Caution or reprimand Suspend registration Cancel registration 24

44 21. Example: Fail to report sexual abuse Psychologist supervising a Clinical Masters provisional psychologist on placement Client/father disclosed to intern of inappropriately touching his two young daughters at night in bed Neither the intern or the supervisor reported this Intern proceeded to involve one of the daughters in cotherapy with the father despite this being a) beyond her competence, and b)inappropriate in the circumstances Outcome: Registration cancelled (both) 25

45 22. Example: Boundaries Former patient employed at psychologist s clinic immediately after termination of therapeutic relationship Tribunal decided the psychologist had little knowledge of her ethical responsibilities regarding multiple relationships Patient records altered so as to not indicate further appointments had been scheduled Outcome: Caution and conditions re: supervision 26

46 23. Example: Record keeping Three letters and some diary notes for 20 months of treatment Explanation proffered - excellent memory, orientation of practice (existential/experiential therapy), and need to build trust of the patient by not making notes - were all rejected by the Tribunal Unprofessional conduct of a serious nature Outcome: Reprimand and a fine Simply put, all psychologists must keep adequate, current, upto-date records of treatment of clients. Notes should also be of sufficient detail to permit planning for continuity in the delivery of psychological services 27
