About

They provide assessments and treatment recommendations that may employ cognitive, educational, behavioural or psychosocial methods. Grounded in theory and practice, this course will provide you with the knowledge, skills and qualifications you need to work within a range of clinically oriented areas. Upon graduation, you'll be eligible for registration with the Psychology Board of Australia.
