When you’re working with couples, families, or groups… who is your client?

Under the 2025 updates to the Psychology Board of Australia Code of Conduct and the Australian Psychological Society Professional Practice Guidelines, the answer is clear: Everyone in the room is your client.

That shift carries real ethical weight.

From shared confidentiality and competing interests to documentation and role clarity, simultaneous services are no longer just relationally complex — they’re ethically denser.

Are your consent processes, note-keeping, and boundaries structured to reflect that?

Our latest blog unpacks what’s changed in 2025 and what it means for your practice.

If you want to strengthen your understanding of the new Code of Conduct and APS Guidelines, we also offer targeted trainings to support you.

Now Open: Final Supervisor Discussion Series

Our previous Supervisor Discussion Series is full, and due to strong demand, we’ve opened a brand-new 8-week series starting 4 February, Wednesdays at 11am (AEST).

The new Code of Conduct for Psychologists is in place now, changing the way we practise and supervise. As a Board Approved Supervisor, you’re responsible not only for your own alignment with the Code, but for guiding provisionals and registrars to embed these standards into everyday practice.

This exclusive, small-group series is designed specifically for supervisors. Facilitated by Dr Aaron Frost, each week we’ll:

1. Focus on one key theme from the new Code
2. Unpack what it requires in practice
3. Apply it to complex, real-world supervisory case discussions

⏳ Limited places available — secure your spot now and make sure you’re confidently supervising under the new Code. https://loom.ly/uSY9TJk

In-house registrar supervision: helpful, complex, and worth examining carefully.

For many practices, in-house supervision feels like the obvious choice. It's efficient, familiar, and grounded in a genuine desire to support developing psychologists. In the right conditions, it can work extremely well.

At the same time, in-house supervision introduces unique boundary, role, and power considerations that are easy to underestimate.

This article explores:
• The benefits of in-house supervision for both employers and registrars
• Where dual roles and boundaries can quietly create risk
• The hidden cost of “free” supervision
• Why many programs are moving toward blended or external models

A thoughtful read for employers, supervisors, and registrars navigating endorsement with intention rather than convenience alone.
