Why Join ICP?

We are an independent professional group of Clinical Psychologists in private practice. All members are currently registered with the Psychology Board of Australia with the approved area of practice: Clinical Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist Registrar.

The ICP was established over 40 years ago and has successfully advocated for the interests of its members and clinical psychology in general (e.g. ICP won the first private health rebates for practitioners). Whilst many members are senior clinical psychologists, the ICP welcomes newly trained clinicians and clinicians who are new to private practice, as well as Clinical Psychologists in the public sector.
