ABSTRACT

Introduction The Psychology Board of Australia (the Board) expects candidates for the National Psychology Examination (NPE) to be familiar with how legal, ethical, and professional conduct ideals are applied to psychological practice. As a result, those seeking General Registration as a psychologist are expected to be familiar with relevant legislation as well as the standards, policies, and guidelines of the Board (Psychology Board of Australia, 2012b). Similarly, psychologists must be familiar with the adopted code of ethics for the profession and conversant with general professional conduct (Australian Psychological Society, 2007b). Each of these will now be explored in turn.
