Do I need to have my qualification assessed by the Australian Psychology Society (APS) for admission to the DCP/MSc?
All qualifications obtained from a non-Australian University must be assessed by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) before an application may be submitted. The APS will assess the level that the applicant’s qualifications are equivalent to in Australia by considering them against local accredited psychology qualifications. Please note not only is it a requirement for admission to the DCP/MSc, the NSW Psychologists’ Registration Board also requires non-Australian qualifications assessed by the APS for the purposes of registration. This means that if students with non-Australian qualifications were accepted into the DCP/MSc program, they would not be able to be provisionally registered with the NSW Psychologists’ Registration Board, and therefore would not be permitted to commence clinical internships in Semester 1 of the DCP/MSc program. Students would therefore not be able to consult with clients and gain the supervised clinical internship experience provided within the DCP/MSc
