PSYCHOLOGISTS REGISTRATION ACT 1976 - SECT 36

36 .         Provisional registration

        (1)         A person who holds an approved educational qualification, but who has not had the relevant experience required for registration under this Act, may apply to the Board for a certificate of provisional registration for the purpose of obtaining that experience by taking employment requiring the practice of psychology under the direction of a psychologist registered under this Act or in some other manner satisfactory to the Board and the Board, if satisfied that the public interest will not thereby be prejudiced, may grant such registration.

        (2)         Registration granted under subsection (1) may be made subject to such limitations and restrictions upon the practice of psychology by the applicant as the Board in any particular case specifies, and such limitations and restrictions shall be indicated on the corresponding certificate of registration.

        (3)         Every certificate of provisional registration granted under subsection (1) shall in the first instance have effect for a period of not more than 12 months, but upon application to the Board during the currency of the certificate may from time to time be renewed for a further period or periods of not more than 12 months in respect of each such application.

        (4)         The Board may at any time cancel any certificate of provisional registration issued or renewed under subsection (1), or may vary any limitation or restriction to which it was made subject.

        (5)         Every person in respect of whom a certificate of provisional registration is issued under subsection (1) shall, while the certificate remains in force and so long as he does not infringe the limitations or restrictions to which it was made subject, be deemed for the purposes specified in that certificate to be registered as a psychologist under this Act, and his name and such other particulars as the Board considers to be material shall be entered in the Register of the Board as a person to whom provisional registration to practise as a psychologist has been granted.
