Excluding community psychologists means another avenue for marginalised groups to be heard is being ignored; the aged, the destitute, those with diabilities, the unemployed and NGOs have a hard enough time being heard and listened to. Please amend National Registration to include Community and Health psychology. Thanks. Terry Olesen, Reg Psychologist, Nedlands

Is there a training program? It is not about title per se; it is about having the qualifications to do something different than other people. It might well be that the endorsement by area of practice is a place that people go for describing that." Health and Community Psych have their own training programs, so should be Endorsed Areas of practice.

The exercise of psychological skills is an integral part of human life. State interference with these skills will therefore always come into conflict with human freedom and dignity. However, where a state does register professional psychologists, I believe that it should provide for community psychologists, not just clinical psychologists subordinate to more powerful professions.
