Christmas Closure

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – and we can hardly believe it either.

As we approach the end of the year, we want to acknowledge the tremendous effort our provisional psychologists have put into their supervision, professional development, and internship progress. It has been a significant year, and now is the ideal time to plan ahead to ensure you remain on track over the holiday period.

Please remember to discuss your supervision needs with your principal supervisor and arrange secondary supervision if your principal supervisor will be on leave. If you continue accruing internship hours, you must maintain your supervision ratio, even while your principal supervisor is away.

We hope everyone is able to enjoy a well-earned break. For those who will continue working throughout this period, we extend our sincere appreciation. The holiday season can be particularly challenging for many people, and your commitment to providing essential psychological support is inspiring. You are setting a strong example for all clinicians who will follow in your footsteps.

Below is an overview of our services across the Christmas and New Year period to help you plan ahead.

Board Approved Supervision and Case Report Review – OPEN

Individual Supervision, Case Report Review and Group Supervision will continue throughout the Christmas break.

Although our support team will be unavailable, supervisees can continue to book or cancel supervision through the Provisional Psychologist Hub Supervision Booking Portal.

Professional Development – OPEN

All professional development is pre-recorded, meaning supervisees can continue to complete workshops and purchase professional development throughout the holiday period at their own pace.

Supervision Funding and Scholarship Opportunities

While Provisional Psychologist Hub does not directly provide funding, we continue to collaborate closely with organisations that offer 5+1 internship funding and supervision scholarships. Learn more about these opportunities and consider applying ahead of the new year.
