NPE Prep Australia
Over the past few years helping hundreds of provisional psychologists pass the NPE, I've been asked just about every question there is about the 5+1 internship. I've collated answers to the most common ones here — covering hours, supervision, the National Psychology Exam, work roles, and registration. If you have a question, there's a good chance you'll find it answered below.
This page is general information, not personal or legal advice. It draws on the Psychology Board of Australia's Guidelines for the 5+1 internship program (December 2025), the National Psychology Exam resources, and AHPRA's current fee schedule. Requirements change — always confirm the detail of your own situation against the official guidelines or with AHPRA.

I've started a Facebook group for provisional psychologists working through the 5+1 internship — a place to ask questions, compare notes, and find support from others on the same path. If yours isn't answered above, come and ask it there.
