Yes, this course is Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited with conditions.
A program is determined as accredited with conditions when:
- it meets most of the Accreditation Standards, and those not met at the time of assessment are likely to be met within the time specified by APAC. Determining accreditation with conditions will be accompanied by a list of conditions to be addressed and a date by which those conditions must be addressed.
- if a higher education provider (HEP) makes changes to its program and/or its supporting resources after the accreditation process such that the program no longer meets the Standards, and the Standards not met at the time of assessment are likely to be met within the time specified by APAC.
A status of accreditation with conditions is no different from accreditation without conditions regarding a student seeking provisional registration, completing further study and then seeking general registration.
If an APAC-accredited program of study is accredited without conditions and changes to accredited with conditions, there are no implications for students as accreditation is retained.
Therefore, a student who successfully graduates from a program of study that holds APAC accreditation (either with or without conditions) at the time of their graduation is considered to have completed an APAC-accredited program of study.
