The program can be seen “as a one-stop shop”. For a Master’s graduate, the Psychology Board of Australia requires 3,000 registrar program hours in total, including 80 hours of supervision with a Board-approved supervisor and 80 hours of active CPD. Up to 33 per cent of supervision may be completed as small group supervision — approximately 26 of the 80 hours — which you will gain through the weekly teaching blocks.
The remaining 54 hours of individual supervision may be arranged through an Insight Board-approved supervisor, or with a supervisor of your choosing.
