🔔 Attention 5+1 Interns 🔔

A quick heads-up for anyone currently completing their 5+1 internship 👇

The AHPRA December 2025 guidelines officially came into effect this month, bringing several important changes — including new competencies, supervision ratio updates, and changes to supervision types.

✅ Good news: PsychTrakka has already been updated to fully align with the new requirements. Everything rolled out automatically — no action needed on your end.

What’s new in PsychTrakka?

🧠 Updated Core Competencies

All new entries now use the 8 new competencies from the Dec 2025 framework

These appear in Section A for clearer, more accurate tracking

📊 Improved Progress Overview Report

Page 1 now shows a detailed breakdown of your hours

Includes “this week” vs total to date so you can see where you stand at a glance

🖥️ Revamped Progress Dashboard

Fully aligned with the new AHPRA guidelines

Smart alerts for any outstanding requirements

Cleaner, more intuitive layout

🛠️ Other Important Updates

Section B renamed to “Education & Training Activities” (AHPRA-aligned)

Supervision ratio updated from 1:17 → 1:18

“Principal (short)” and “Asynchronous” supervision types removed for new entries
(existing entries are preserved as legacy records)

No minimum hours for Client-related activity — more flexibility while still meeting Section A requirements

Elysium Psychology extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those who lost their lives in the horrific tragedy in Bondi, and our hearts go out to Jewish communities across Australia.

We strongly condemn this act of hatred, violence and antisemitism, and we stand in solidarity with a community once again carrying the weight of grief, fear and intergenerational trauma in the aftermath of such violence.

Our thoughts are with everyone directly impacted, and we wish a full recovery to those who were injured. We also express our sincere gratitude to the first responders and community members who bravely attended and supported others during this incident.

We recognise that the mental health impacts of this tragedy will be far-reaching — affecting not only those directly involved, but also children, families, practitioners, first responders and the broader community. In times of collective distress, connection, compassion and care for one another are more important than ever.

If you are struggling in the wake of this event, support is available. We encourage reaching out for help, prioritising care for yourself and others, and limiting exposure to distressing media coverage where possible.

A list of national crisis support services, along with guidance for supporting children, is available via the Australian Association of Psychologists (AAPi):

We all have an inner critic which feeds off of negative messages from society, telling us in many different ways that we are not good enough. Having this inner critic is not the issue, believing that what it says is true and acting on its advice is the problem. When our inner critic is loud it can make us turn against ourselves and create a degrading relationship within us.

If you are struggling with your inner critic and would like some assistance, please call Elysium Psychology today on (03) 9069 2103 to speak to one of our client service specialists, or visit our website www.elysiumpsychology.com.au for more information.

Human Rights Day is observed annually around the world on 10 December. It commemorates the anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

This landmark document enshrines the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, s*x, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
