AEDPA has developed an extended position summary in response to the Psychology Board of Australia's proposed psychology training redesign, outlining where we stand across twelve discrete proposals spanning degree restructuring, AQF classification, provisional registration, and workforce design.  This document is the foundation for our formal submission, due by 10 June 2026.

Our positions are guided by a single, non-negotiable principle: any reform to psychology training must protect the integrity of the scientist-practitioner model, uphold the professional standing of the psychology workforce, and place the long-term interests of the public at its centre.  

For psychologists who align with our positions and would like support authoring their own individual submission to the Board, AEDPA has also created a free consultation response generator.
