Key eligibility criteria were:

  • Your organisation must be an Australian higher education provider approved to offer Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs)
  • Courses must lead to general registration and may lead to one of the following Areas of Practice Endorsement: Clinical neuropsychology, Clinical Psychology, Community Psychology, Counselling Psychology or Health Psychology
  • Your organisation must meet an 8.7% yearly minimum growth rate in their student enrolments compared to the previous year for eligible courses
  • at least one of the new postgraduate psychology places in 2024 must be a CSP.

Please provide comment on how the eligibility criteria for the Grant Opportunity supported (or did not support) achieving the stated objective?
