Criminal Psychologist

Criminal Psychologists, also known as Forensic Psychologists, are registered professionals who work within the Australian legal system. They carry out psychological assessments and diagnoses and prepare formal psychological reports for legal agencies such as courts, parole boards, and mental health tribunals.

As a Criminal Psychologist you could be sitting on a parole board and reviewing an inmate’s request for release, using an approved psychological test to assess an offender and their competency to stand trial, appearing in court as an expert witness, preparing a written report for a government agency, collaborating with a team of case management professionals, or attending professional development training to keep your APAC registration up-to-date.
