This assessment task involves students examining the competencies that are articulated by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council and selecting at least three competencies that they will seek to further develop during the unit. They will subsequently develop a plan of activities that will enable them to develop the competencies, undertake and record those activities, meet with a peer supervisor, and then meet with an academic within the Organisational Psychology Program to discuss their outcomes. The intention of this assessment is to enable students to develop the skills necessary to undertake personal development plans once they become Registered Psychologists.
