Psychology Scopes Advisory Group (PSAG) Updates

04/07/2024

We, as the PSAG group members wanted to provide an update to psychologists and members of the public regarding our first meeting and to highlight our plans moving forward. We acknowledge the stress that psychologists may be under and the impact a review of the scopes of practice has had on the profession. As representatives of our vocation, the members of PSAG are united in ensuring that whatever recommendations are put forward to the Board, not only offer safety around the delivery of competent services to the public, but also nurture, grow and strengthen the profession. We aim to be transparent and hold compassion, empathy, and openness throughout the course of our work. Our next steps will be to review the scopes feedback that has already been gathered and to gain additional information from the members of the public regarding their experiences of accessing psychologists within their communities, as well as the CRG members to inform pathways going forward.
