Psychologists are employed in a wide range of fields, such as career counselling, clinical neuropsychology, clinical, child, counselling, educational, forensic, health, organisational and sports psychology, as well as in teaching and research.  The majority of psychologists work in the private sector, although significant numbers are also employed by government departments and agencies. However, not all graduates with a psychology degree ultimately choose to practice as psychologists and there are very many openings in any setting where knowledge of human behaviour and interactions is important. For example, graduates will find employment in areas as diverse as human resource management, rehabilitation, business management, teaching, scientific research, public health, defence and special education.

Please note that completion of the Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science does not meet the minimum requirement for registration as a practicing Pyschologist, for which a 4^th year of accredited study is required.
