Psychologists are employed in a wide and diverse range of areas including clinical work, counselling, neuropsychology, child development, education, 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 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 interaction is important. For example, our graduates find employment in areas as diverse as human resource management, rehabilitation, business management, teaching, scientific research, public health, defence and special needs education, all of which have a demand for the kinds of skills that psychology graduates can bring.

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