The Practice Advice Service is available for anyone to contact about advice or matters relating to psychology and applied behaviour analysis. We provide information and resources relating to relevant Legislation, Regulations, Standards of Professional Conduct, Codes of Ethics and other practical considerations. The service is intended to support registrants in exercising their professional judgment and is not an appropriate substitute for advice from a qualified clinician or legal professional. Answers are provided in response to specific inquiries and may not be applicable or generalized to all circumstances.
