Do I need to pay for my supervision?

The cost of supervision depends on your employment arrangement and funding opportunities. Here are the most common scenarios:

1. Employer-Paid Supervision

• Many employers, especially larger organisations or those running structured internship programs, fully or partially cover supervision costs.
• Check with your employer to confirm if supervision funding, allowances, or reimbursements are included in your employment package.

2. Self-Funded Supervision

• If your employer does not cover supervision, you will need to self-fund.
• This is common for provisional psychologists working in private practice or with employers who don’t offer supervision as part of their benefits.

3. Shared Cost Arrangements

• In some cases, employers may share the cost of supervision, covering a portion while you pay the rest.

4. Supervision Scholarships, Grants, and Relocation Opportunities

• We may have scholarships or grants available to assist with supervision costs in your region, particularly for psychologists in rural or underserved areas.
• Relocation opportunities may also be available if you're open to working in regional or remote locations, where additional incentives are often provided.
• Book a consultation with us to discuss available scholarships, grants, and relocation opportunities tailored to your circumstances.

5. Tax Deductibility for Self-Funded Supervision

• Supervision fees are often tax-deductible. If you’re self-funding, consult a tax professional to ensure you maximise your deductions.
