When you study with us, you’ll have access to first-class facilities that give you a chance to gain hands-on practice – before treating real patients. Our facilities include wet labs, mock hospital wards with high-fidelity mannequins, and mock apartments fitted out with rehabilitation and disability equipment.
At our on-campus psychology clinics in Melbourne and Strathfield, we offer low-cost counselling and psychological assessments to staff, students and the general public. Counselling is provided by provisional psychologists doing a Master of Psychology, and supervised by registered psychologists.
