Questions from Indian students: Psychology in Australia

Can I become a psychologist in Australia as an Indian student?
Yes, with an accredited sequence and registration with the Psychology Board of Australia. Clinical master's places are few and competitive, and entry depends on strong honours results.
Can I do a clinical psychology master's with an Indian MA in psychology?
Usually not directly: Australian clinical master's expect an accredited four-year sequence. Many Indian graduates first take a graduate diploma or graduate-entry bachelor's and an honours year.
How much is psychology in Australia?
Bachelor's A$33,208 (Charles Darwin) to A$63,600 (Sydney) a year; clinical master's at Federation A$45,500, RMIT A$46,080, James Cook A$47,955, Tasmania A$48,250, UTS A$54,590, Monash A$59,440, ANU A$60,870, UQ A$60,952.
What is a Master of Professional Psychology?
A one-year fifth-year course (Tasmania, Federation, James Cook, UWA) followed by a year of supervised practice, the 5+1 route to general registration.
Are there counselling master's?
Yes: Monash's Master of Counselling and James Cook's Master of Guidance and Counselling. Counselling is not a registered profession like psychology.
