Non-Practising Registration

Non-practising registration is available to psychologists under section 73 of the National Law to individuals who hold or have held general registration as a psychologist under the National Law or a corresponding prior Act.

Psychologists with non-practising registration are exempt from the requirements to hold professional indemnity insurance and undertake continuing professional development and pay a reduced registration fee but must not practice the profession at all. Non-practising registration is suitable for psychologists who take extended leave from practice (i.e. maternity leave) or who practice overseas but wish to maintain registration in Australia.
