Part A
Information for applicants
1. Purpose
The Psychology Board of Australia (the Board) is inviting applications from suitably qualified and
experienced individuals and organisations to deliver supervisor training program across Australia. The
Board is introducing a training framework for supervisors that is based on competencies to ensure
provisional psychologists receive quality supervision that is consistent with the Board’s standards.
The Board is committed to protecting the public by ensuring that only practitioners who are suitably trained
and qualified to practice in a competent and ethical manner are registered. Under the Health Practitioner
Regulation National Law (the National Law), as in force in each state and territory, the Board establishes
the standard of psychological competencies required for registration as a psychologist and for area of
practice endorsement.
Supervisors play a key role in training and assessing these competencies. The Guideline for supervisors
and supervisor training providers (the Guideline) outlines the Board standards for:
 the competencies required for Board approved supervisors, and
 the requirements for course content and course delivery for Board approved supervisor training
providers.
The Guideline sets a consistent, high quality standard for supervisors and the training providers for
teaching and assessing registered practitioners on supervisor competencies.
All Board approved training providers must act in accordance with the Board’s registration standards,
guidelines, policies and other relevant documents, including the Guidelines for advertising of regulated
health services .
Similarly, Board approved training providers will emphasise the requirements for supervisors to respect and
act in accordance with the ethical standards adopted by the Board and set out in the Australian
Psychological Society’s (APS) Code of ethics.
This application pack has been written with reference to the Guidelines. Prospective training providers (the
‘applicant’) should read the Guideline carefully and ensure they understand the Board’s requirements
before submitting their application. The Guideline is available on the Board’s website1.
The Board will assess and approve applicants based on their:
 ability to meet Board standards and requirements of the Guideline, and
 the selection criteria in the Request for proposal application form in part 3 of this application pack.
Multiple training providers will be selected to facilitate delivery of supervisor training nationally (in both
urban and regional areas) and ensure a complete range of training components.
The supervisor training programs will be delivered after the Board has approved each program, and will
commence no later than 31 December 2013. Board approval will be limited to a period of five years and
providers will need to re-apply after this time if they wish to maintain approval.

1.2 The Psychology Board of Australia
The Psychology Board of Australia (the Board) is the National Board for the psychology profession and is
established under section 31 of the National Law. Details about the functions of the Psychology Board of
Australia are available on the Board’s website2:
The Psychology Board of Australia establishes the standard of psychological competencies required for
registration as a psychologist and for area of practice endorsement.

mechanism in the quality of training of provisional psychologists and the on-going safe practice of
psychology in Australia.

the implementation of the supervisor training program.
AHPRA has a national office based in Melbourne and offices in every state and territory. The application
process to become a Board approved supervisor training provider will be conducted from the National office
of AHPRA.
1.4 The supervisor training evaluation panel
Applications will be assessed by the supervisor training evaluation panel (the evaluation panel). The

The Board may approve multiple providers if they meet the requirements.
Approved programs must be, and remain, compliant with the Guideline or the Board may revoke its
approval.
Status of entity
The applicant must be a legal entity and provide their Australian Business Number (ABN).
While applications may include collaboration between or amongst organisations, subcontracting
arrangements will not be accepted.
Exclusivity
The Board is aware that there are various continuing professional development workshops and seminars
offered by both local and international presenters on the topic of supervision.
However, the only providers who will be Board approved are those who:
 follow the process that is outlined in this document
 receive Board approval through this process (in writing), and
 maintain Board-approval (i.e. do not have their approval revoked, or provide supervisor training outside
of the approval timeframes)
Any supervisor training that is provided outside of this process will not be considered to be Board approved
training. A psychologist attending supervisor training that is not Board approved will not be able to use this
training as the basis for becoming a Board approved supervisor.
Understanding the Guidelines
The applicant must demonstrate that they understand the selection criteria of the application.
Applicants should provide adequate information relevant to the program type and geographical reach that
they are applying to provide. Sufficient detail must be provided to satisfy the evaluation panel about the
quality of the training offering.
The Board expects applicants to have a demonstrated commitment to high quality training for both the
content development and course delivery.
Key staff qualifications and experience
The application must describe the academic and professional credentials in training, psychology theory and
practice, supervision and competency-based training for key developers and trainers (if they are different
than those developing the course content) and policies to maintain competency over the period of approval.
Course development and delivery capability
The applicant must provide sufficient supporting documentation to enable the evaluation panel to establish
whether the credentials of trainers and course developers meet its requirements. The applicant must
describe how the course content and presentation materials will be developed and kept current and at a
consistent, high quality.
Organisational capability

Nursing Careers
Eat Healthier
Page 7 of 22
The applicant must provide process documentation to support their overall operational capability in
monitoring and managing a training program.
The applicant must demonstrate their experience in operating training programs.
The applicant must describe how they intend to deliver a competency-based training program consistently
amongst trainers and maintain the quality required to meet Board standards.
Applicants should provide information about their operational capability in customer service, reporting
outcomes (both course based and summarized annual reports), and how they will manage any intended
consortium or collaborative operations. References will assist the evaluation panel to assess the level of
relevant experience. Referees must not be current members of the evaluation panel, the Board or AHPRA
staff.
Feedback and evaluation reporting
The reporting requirements for supervisor training providers have been detailed in the selection criteria and
will included in the letter granting Board approved status.
Financial capability (fees and pricing)
No monies will be paid to the successful applicant.
It is envisaged that the applicant will provide quoted fees for each participant undertaking the various
components of the supervisor training.
Fees quoted should be competitive and commensurate with the costs to provide training in line with the key
requirements, and/or outputs/reports (as specified by the applicant).
The Board does not intend to seek or hold intellectual property rights in the new training material.
Renewals
Board approval will be granted for a period of five years. Providers will need to re-apply after this time if
they wish to remain Board approved.
The Board may revoke its approval when a training provider does not meet the requirements in the
guidelines or as outlined in this document. The Board is currently developing a policy on revocation of
Board approved training provider status, and a process for handling underperformance.
