The Dev Minds Registrar program (DMRP) is designed to support registered psychologists to obtain clinical endorsement.

This is one of our favourite things to do at Developing Minds - seeing early career clinicians grow into skilled clinical psychologists working with children, teens and families is an incredible privilege - and we have supported more than 15 registrars through this process over the last 25 years. We provide everything you need to help you complete the planning, paperwork and task competence for the Psychology Board’s registrar program.

What does the DMRP include:

Over the (usually) 24 months of your employment you can expect the following:

In the first 3 months:

• Initial two days of (paid) carefully designed training in ethical and professional practice issues with a structured orientation process (including lunches to meet the team)

• Meetings and 1:1s with practice manager and director to orientate you to the workplace

• Graduated increase in client offered appointments depending on your comfort level (no push to see more clients than you are ready for)

• Weekly hour long 1:1 focused supervision session which with careful agenda - including risk issues, case conceptualisation and skills training - as well as support in managing working as a psychologist

  Regular mentoring support (informal support, coffee meetings, phone catch ups) with your 2 assigned peer mentors (one of our other (usually early career) psychologists
  
  In the next 21 months

• Three out of four weeks you continue to receive the 1:1 focused supervision described above

• Monthly registrar group supervision with other clinical registrars to share the experience of beginning work

• Quarterly in house professional development training evenings with 23 other child psychologists

• Provision of extension digital resources including bimonthly “Working with Kids and Teens” email updates from the team.
