Other overseas applications
Before applying for General or Provisional registration in Australia, overseas trained applicants must have their qualifications assessed by the Board-approved accreditation authority (or their delegate) to determine whether they are equivalent to Australian qualifications that are accepted by the Board for registration. The relevant accreditation authority for psychology in Australia is the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).
The assessment letter or certified copy must be included when applying for registration. The Board will consider the assessment letter along with other aspects of your application to determine whether to grant registration.
