About
Registered psychologists are equipped to practice in a broad range of employment settings, including allied health, aged care and disability services, education and private practice. They treat people with mental health problems but also seek to understand how factors such as personality, society and culture affect behaviour and provide counselling that can help people from all walks of like lead happier, healthier and more productive lives.
