Clinical Psychology

Step 1

• Upload the required compliance forms onto MyPlacement under Forms and Checks tabs. 
• Once ready to be assessed, submit a request to the Graduate School of Health Clinical Placement Team to review.

Step 2

• The GSH Clinical Placement Team will review the documents and reach out via email to advise you if any evidence is outstanding or requires clarification. 
• If you have all the required documentation, GSH Clinical Placement Team will advise you to send all your documents to NSW Health for formal assessment.

Step 3

• Following formal assessment, you will be provided with an outcome directly from NSW Health and that information will be updated on the Checks tab in MyPlacement within 24 hours.

In order to facilitate clinical placements in NSW Public Health Facilities, as well as student registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), students are required to consent to specific information being entered into ClinConnect and onto the Student Register by completing the online forms which are indicated in the Graduate School of Health Clinical Compliance Checklist.

Prepare the paperwork required for provisional registration with AHPRA Psychology Board of Australia.

Do NOT submit your application for provisional registration to AHPRA until Professional Skills Week.

To complete your application, the Graduate School of Health will provide a confirmation of enrolment letter directly to AHPRA. The enrolment letter will be sent in early February, during Professional Skills Week, once all students have enrolled and commenced.

All students undertaking a clinical placement in a child-related work environment must obtain a Working with Children Check (WWCC). These are valid for 5 years from the day it is processed. Students who already hold a WWCC do not need to apply for a new one unless it expires during the course.

Once received, please upload evidence, and indicate your WWCC number and expiry on MyPlacement under the Checks tab.
