As shown in Table 1, once more there has been a steady rise in full CCN membership over the past year – again approximately 10% increase in membership over 2008 -2009. The CCN now has a total of 243 full members - an increase of 20. As shown in Table 2, the biggest change continues to be in Victoria, reflecting the relative concentration of CCN training programs in Melbourne Encouragingly, there has been a significant increase in the number of new student members, now numbering 82 in total. This increase in student numbers is testament to the continued hard work over the past year of the student sub-committee of the CCN National Executive and their initiatives in encouraging current students to become actively involved with the college. Both associate and affiliate membership categories have remained steady over the past few years. Associate members are continuing to upgrade to full membership on completion of the requisite supervision. Table 3 shows the respective numbers of membership grades across each state. As shown in Table 4, the new full members this year have been increasingly graduates with a DPsych who are automatically admitted to the college on completion of their training, with less associate members who have completed their supervision requirements post Masters. There was also one overseas trained applicant this year granted membership via the exceptional entry pathway. An ongoing pleas to all members to continue to encourage any neuropsychologists who aren’t CCN members to join if they are eligible, or have potential to be eligible There are still a number of people with Masters qualifications who haven’t joined - retrospective supervision is possible so long as adequate documentation can be provided. 2. Membership sub-committee A big thank you to the membership sub-committee who have remained committed and dedicated in working hard over the past four years: Maggie Phillips, Genevieve McMahon, Monica Williams and Sophie Katsabis (whilst Monica was on maternity leave). The main role of the committee has been to assess applications, but considerable work has also focused on the revision and review of the membership application policies and documentation. All membership documentation can be found on the CCN pages of the APS website - http://www.groups.psychology.org.au/ccn/join/ Ongoing feedback of this documentation by current members or new applicants is always welcome 3. Potential changes in college membership pathways and assessment options The ‘bridging course’ option for college membership being discussed by the APS (in which a members of one college can gain eligibility for entry to another college following completion of a one year course) is yet to be finalised. There also appears to be some changes in the process by which training courses are accredited for college membership. Both these developments highlight the need in the future for the CCN to maintain clinical standards and competencies for college membership Systematic use of a CCN entrance exam is one option that may be required to meet this purpose.
