In private practices, physiotherapists work in every suburb and country district for clients who require their diverse services. Many physiotherapists undertake postgraduate studies to enhance career opportunities in clinical practice, teaching, research and administration. People trained in psychology work in a wide variety of areas in health, education, industry, commerce, welfare and government. To be able to practise as a psychologist in Victoria, registration is required with the Psychologists Registration Board of Victoria. To register with the Board, an accredited four-year sequence in psychology followed by either two years of postgraduate training or two years supervised experience is required.
Specialisation normally requires additional study and a further two years of supervised training.
Some of these areas of specialisation are community psychology, counselling psychology, educational psychology, forensic psychology, clinical neuropsychology, clinical psychology, organisational psychology and sport psychology. Upon completion of training as a psychologist, graduates may be eligible for full membership of certain professional organisations, such as the Australian Psychological Society, and their colleges.
