PSYCHOLOGISTS ACT 2001 - SECT 12

12 Provisional registration

(1) Registration as a psychologist may be granted:

(a) to a person entitled to full registration, pending the Board’s determination of the person’s application for full registration, or

(b) to a person who will be entitled to full registration when a degree, diploma, certificate or other academic award to which the person is entitled is granted or conferred, pending its grant or conferral, or

(c) to a person who will be entitled to full registration when the person has acquired the practical experience in psychology required by section 8, pending the person’s acquiring that experience.

(2) Registration under this section is "provisional registration".

(3) Provisional registration is granted by the Board or the President. In the President’s absence it can be granted by any member of the Board authorised by the Board to do so. Provisional registration is granted by the grant of a certificate of provisional registration.

(4) A person granted provisional registration is a registered psychologist until the registration expires or is cancelled. Provisional registration expires on the date stated in the certificate or such later date as may be fixed by the Board.

(5) The Board may impose such conditions as it thinks fit on a person’s provisional registration and may at any time remove, add to or vary those conditions by notice in writing to the registered person.

(6) The Board may cancel a person’s provisional registration for any reason that the Board considers proper. Cancellation does not affect any application for registration by the person.

(7) When a person who has provisional registration is granted full registration, the grant of full registration dates from the grant of provisional registration unless:

(a) the Board otherwise directs, or

(b) the grant of provisional registration was under subsection (1) (c).
