• Current or recent work in health and/or other relevant clinical settings to allow for the running of therapy groups.
• Professional indemnity insurance.
Registration with the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Authority (AHPRA) or other appropriate professional registration body, for example in Aotearoa New Zealand. This enables independent practice, and the expectation of adherence to their code of ethics and guidelines for responsible practice.
Fees
The fee for the theoretical training is $7,000 per year, as at 2025.
This covers the five annual block weekend fees, Large Group fees and a reduction in the AAGP conference fees; as well as access to the journal Group Analysis.
The fees are reviewed annually.
The cost of individual group psychotherapy, and group supervision is not covered by the fee and needs to be negotiated individually with relevant practitioners.
The demands of this training programme are significant, and the rewards, for those interested in the mind and how we all function in groups, are great.
