National Psychology Workforce Survey
The South Australian Psychological Board invites all registered psychologists to complete the following online workforce survey:
www.psychologist-workforce-profile.com
The Council of Psychology Registration Boards has commissioned the survey to gather information about the current state of the
psychology workforce so that future planning is based on accurate data gathered by the profession itself. The Council recognised
that there is a need to ensure that Governments, State and Federal, be provided with relevant, current, accurate and unbiased data
on the availability, range and quality of psychological services, to make sound funding and policy decisions.
In order to best achieve this, it was agreed that a properly resourced study be conducted by the Boards in association
with the Australian Psychological Society. All registration boards and the APS support the survey and are depending on a high
response rate from psychologists. The gathering of this data will help to assure continued access by the public to quality
psychology services. The funding has been provided by the New South Wales Psychologist Registration Board.
All psychologists are encouraged to complete the confidential survey in the knowledge that they are contributing to developing a clear
picture of the state of the psychology workforce and psychology service provision in Australia. Future planning and developments
of benefit to the community and psychologists will depend on this,
