The effect of experience in psychological practice on making ethical judgements
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that psychologists and students largely make ethical decisions when presented with an ethical dilemma. Where differences occur these may reflect a deeper understanding of ethics and professional obligations that is developed through experience. Making ethical decision ‐making a key aspect of student training and ongoing professional development for psychologists may improve ethical decision‐making. (Source: Australian Psychologist)

Attitudes of Australian psychologists towards the delivery of therapy via video conferencing technology
ConclusionsKey barriers and facilitators identified underscore the need for training to improve knowledge and awareness of VCT, including its evidence base. Specifically, the assistance of ‘embracers’ to provide training in VCT (e.g. adapting microskills to a different medium and using technology flexibly) may also dispel negative views held by psychologists regarding VCT and its effectiveness and consequently facilitate a wider adoption of VCT throughout Australia.

“Every child needs an adult apart from their family that they can talk to”: An investigation into school staff perceptions of the provision of external psychological services
ConclusionsFindings implicate an ongoing need to meet an increasing demand for therapeutic supports to children and adolescents within school settings. Issues such as communication and access to files appear to compromise ethical practice, which potentially hinder continuity of care once the external provider ceases working with a young person. Better communication between all concerned parties may help mitigate this issue. (Source: Australian Psychologist)
