📅 Our 2027 STAP training dates are now available!
If supervisor training or professional development is part of your plan for next year, now is a good time to get those dates in the calendar.

✨ The 2027 STAP schedule includes opportunities for psychologists who are working towards Board Approved Supervisor status, as well as experienced supervisors wanting to continue developing their knowledge and skills.

✨ 2-Day Skills Training Workshops.
Part 2 of the STAP supervisor training pathway focuses on translating supervision knowledge into practice.

These interactive workshops explore the skills needed to establish and maintain a strong supervisory alliance, respond effectively to supervisory challenges, develop your professional supervisory style and reflect on your effectiveness as a supervisor.

We have online Skills Training Workshops scheduled throughout 2027, from January through November, making it easier to choose dates that work around your professional commitments.

✨ STAP Masterclasses.

✨ Psychologists spend much of their working lives sitting alongside people during difficult, emotionally demanding experiences. That capacity for empathy is central to good clinical work but it can also take a toll.

✨ Supervision has an important role to play in helping psychologists recognise, manage and respond to burnout and fatigue.

✨ Our upcoming STAP masterclass explores how compassion and self-compassion can support psychologist wellbeing, and why what we often describe as “compassion fatigue” may be better understood as empathy fatigue.

✨ Join Dr James Kirby for an interactive session covering:
* the science and neuroscience of compassion
* the difference between empathic distress and compassion
* practical approaches to self-compassion
* managing empathy fatigue and burnout
* how these ideas can be applied within supervision

✨ The session includes reflection, discussion, demonstrations and experiential exercises designed to give supervisors practical ideas they can take back into their work.

✨ STAP Graduate Spotlight ✨
Congratulations to Claudia Schmakeit, Clinical Lead at Harper's Health, on her successful completion of the STAP Program!

✨ Working within a multidisciplinary allied health private practice, Claudia is passionate about supporting children, adolescents, adults and families from diverse backgrounds.

✨ As Clinical Lead, she provides clinical supervision to the psychology team and facilitates fortnightly team training and group supervision, creating space for reflective practice, collaboration and ongoing professional development.

Claudia’s work highlights the important role supervision can play not only in supporting individual psychologists, but also in strengthening learning and development across a whole team.

✨ Reflecting on her STAP training, Claudia shared:
“I found the STAP training incredibly flexible and easy to fit around full-time work. The trainer was very supportive throughout the process and the feedback received was helpful, encouraging and gave me a solid direction for improvement. I couldn't recommend STAP enough.”

✨ We’re delighted to feature Claudia and to see her continuing to support the development of psychologists through both individual and group supervision.

✨ You can connect with Claudia on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/claudia-gorry
or learn more about her work at Harper's Health on their website www.harpershealth.com.au

✨ What do the new flexible supervision arrangements mean in practice?

✨ Ahpra and the Psychology Board of Australia’s revised Supervised Practice Framework expands flexibility around virtual supervision, multi-supervisor arrangements and interprofessional models.

✨ For many psychologists and services, particularly in regional and remote areas, that flexibility can remove significant barriers to supervision and workforce participation.
However, it also raises important questions about clinical risk, professional identity, crisis management and the learning that can be lost when supervision happens at a distance.

✨ Our latest STAP article explores both sides of the shift, including:
→ The benefits of greater flexibility for regional and growing services
→ The challenges of managing clinical emergencies remotely
→ The potential impact on psychology-specific professional identity
→ What can be lost when informal and incidental learning disappears
→ Why supervisors and employers may need to think beyond minimum regulatory requirements.

✨ If you supervise psychologists, employ provisional psychologists or lead a psychology service, this is an important conversation to be having.

✨ STAP Graduate Spotlight ✨

We’re always pleased to celebrate STAP graduates who have successfully completing the STAP Supervisor Program, and today we’re highlighting Dayle Johnson from Calm Minds Clinic.

✨ Dayle works as a Psychologist at Calm Minds Clinic, with experience across both public and private sector psychological practice. Registered with the Psychology Board of Australia, Dayle holds a BSc and MSc in Forensic Psychology. He is passionate about supporting the next generation of Psychologists through thoughtful, reflective and evidence-informed supervision.

Dayle takes a collaborative and supportive approach to supervision, fostering an environment in which Provisional Psychologists feel comfortable asking questions, exploring uncertainty and reflecting openly on their clinical experiences. He recognises that the pathway to general registration (is tough, and) involves ongoing learning, self-reflection and the development of confidence in clinical decision-making.

✨ His supervisory approach balances encouragement with constructive feedback, critical reflection and a strong commitment to ethical practice, professional accountability and client wellbeing. Dayle aims to support Provisional Psychologists strengthen their clinical reasoning, recognise developing strengths, identify areas for growth and build the skills required to deliver safe, competent and compassionate psychological care.

Alongside his clinical practice, Dayle has both experience and a particular interest in mental health education, training and workshop facilitation. This broader work informs his commitment to developing capable, reflective practitioners who approach their professional responsibilities with curiosity, integrity and a commitment to ongoing learning.

✨ Reflecting on his STAP training experience, Dayle shared:
“I thoroughly enjoyed this program. It was as equally informative as it was engaging and a great learning experience. What I particularly enjoyed, was Aaron's use of humour. With what could have absolutely been two-days of 'dry material', this was completely negated by Aaron's style of facilitation - thank you!”

We’re delighted to feature Dayle and to see him continuing to contribute to the development of future psychologists through supervision.

✨ Need your Part 3 evaluation completed sooner?

At STAP, we know that once you’ve completed your supervisor training, waiting for your evaluation can feel like the final hurdle.

✨ Our average turnaround time for Part 3 evaluations is currently around 13 days, and we work hard to keep the process moving so participants aren’t left waiting unnecessarily.

✨ For those who need their evaluation completed more quickly, we also offer an optional Priority Evaluation service, with a guaranteed turnaround of 5 business days or less.

This can be especially helpful if you’re working towards Board-Approved Supervisor status and have a time-sensitive deadline.

✨ Priority Evaluations are available to participants who have completed their Part 2 Skills Training Workshop with STAP.

✨ If you’re approaching Part 3 and would like to know more about the priority option, just get in touch with the STAP team!

✨ Supporting registrars well isn’t only about the quality of supervision itself - it’s also about helping them stay on top of the many moving parts around CPD, supervision, competencies and registrar requirements.

🌿 That’s why we’re pleased to highlight PsychTrakka, a purpose-built platform designed to help psychologists keep their professional development and registrar requirements organised in one place.

For supervisors, tools like this can make it easier to encourage registrars to take ownership of their progress and come to supervision with a clearer picture of what they’ve completed, what still needs attention, and where support may be needed.

✨ With PsychTrakka, registrars can keep track of:
→ Supervision
→ CPD activities
→ Registrar program requirements
→ Progress and documentation.

That can mean less time spent piecing together spreadsheets, notes and files — and more time in supervision focused on learning, development and meaningful reflection.

🌿 If you supervise early career psychologists or registrars, PsychTrakka may be a useful resource to recommend as part of helping them stay organised and engaged with their professional development.

✨ World Mental Health Day takes place this Saturday, 10 October.

✨ This year’s theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” is a reminder that meaningful mental health care starts with listening - and with making space for lived experience to shape the way we think, learn and practise.

✨ For psychologists, supervisors and mental health professionals, it’s an opportunity to reflect on how we hear people’s experiences, how we respond to them, and how those perspectives can inform better care, stronger services and more thoughtful professional practice.

✨ Creating space for collaboration, shared decision-making and genuine participation can help build practice that is more responsive, person-centred and grounded in the realities of those it is designed to support.

✨ On World Mental Health Day, we recognise the importance of reducing stigma, improving understanding and ensuring lived experience has a genuine voice in the future of mental health care.
