Raka Maui

We are seeking volunteers to participate in a trial for a cultural competency programme for all newly registered overseas trained psychologists – Raka Maui.

If you are an overseas trained psychologist who is registered and has been working in NZ as a psychologist for the last 12-24 months, you may be interested in helping shape the future of international applications for registration. You are in a unique position to provide valuable feedback on your experience with the current registration process for psychologists who trained overseas.

Review of Best Practice Guidelines for Working with Sex, Sexuality and Gender Diverse Clients

After a hiatus of several months the working group has reconvened, with additional backing from the New Zealand Psychologists Board.  We are looking for a culturally diverse range of practitioners (including tangata whenua), with lived experience in the rainbow community, to join the working group.  As these guidelines are unique in their focus on working with certain client groups, NZPB has allocated a budget to this mahi, to help facilitate broad representation in the review process.

The plan is to review the Guidelines using four categories:

• Gender (child and youth)
• Gender (adults)
• Sexuality
• Variations in sex characteristics

If you are interested in contributing to this review, please provide a brief statement about what you could bring to the project in terms of psychological expertise, area of interest, lived experience, and cultural representation.  Once we hear back from other potential members, we will be able to ascertain which areas still require additional input.

Please send your Expression of Interest to Haidee Westwater, NZPB Psychology Advisor.
