The difference between the APS and the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA)
The PsyBA is the government-appointed regulatory body for psychologists – “the registration board for psychologists”. It is a separate organisation from the APS.
PsyBA functions include:
• Registration of psychologists and provisional psychologists, including maintaining an online register of psychologists
• Handling notifications, complaints, investigations and disciplinary hearings
