Frequently asked questions
What should a psychology progress note include?
A good psychology progress note documents: the session date and duration, who attended, presenting issues addressed, clinical observations, interventions used, the client's response, any risk factors reviewed, and a plan for the next session. Notes should be objective, specific, and written as soon as possible after the session.
What makes an NDIS report 'reasonable and necessary'?
An NDIS support is 'reasonable and necessary' if it relates to the participant's disability, represents value for money, is effective and beneficial (backed by evidence), accounts for informal supports, and is most appropriately funded by the NDIS rather than another system. Reports must clearly link the requested supports to these criteria.
Where can Australian psychologists find free psychology templates?
PsychVault has a growing library of free and paid psychology templates created by Australian clinicians, including progress note formats, NDIS report checklists, psychoeducation handouts, and therapy worksheets. APS, PACFA, and state psychological societies also publish clinical resources for their members.
