Designated courses for the purposes of exclusion
Note: The Psychology Board of Australia is concerned with the protection of the public and, therefore, if students fail a practicum course, they may (with Program Director approval) repeat a practicum course. A second fail of a practicum course will result in being excluded from the program and this may result in a change to the eligibility to continue as a registered Psychologist in Australia.
