Psychology Self-Care Self-Audit (Australian Version, 2026)
Psychology Self-Care Self-Audit — A Reflective Tool for Registered PsychologistsSelf-care is not optional for registered psychologists. Competency 3 of the Psychology Board of Australia's Professional Competencies for Psychologists (2024) and Principle 9 of the Code of Conduct for Psychologists establish proactive self-monitoring as a professional and regulatory obligation. While Australian registered psychologists are aware of this, fewer have a structured way to act on it.This ten-page tool provides a domain-by-domain self-assessment anchored directly in the Board's professional framework. Six domains — competence boundaries, reflexivity and self-awareness, psychological and emotional wellbeing, physical health and workload, collegial support, and professional development — are each mapped to specific competency descriptors and code of conduct principles. Thirty items, a pattern grid, domain reflection prompts, and four general reflection questions are designed to surface patterns across functioning and assist practitioners to identify issues that may need to be addressed.It is designed as a reflective instrument and is designed to be completed regularly, for example as part of CPD learning plan development and review, at points of professional transition, or as preparation for supervision.Developed by Kathryn Nicholson Perry, a clinical psychologist with thirty years of experience in clinical practice, research, and the training and supervision of psychologists.Suitable for registered psychologists at any career stage. Particularly useful for practitioners in sole practice or those with limited access to regular peer consultation.Format: PDF, 10 pages, print-and-write. A4. Regulatory anchors: Psychology Board of Australia Professional Competencies (2024); Code of Conduct for Psychologists (2024).This tool is for reflective and educational purposes. It is not a diagnostic instrument and does not substitute for professional supervision, peer consultation, or personal psychological support where relevant.
