In 2011 the College commenced discussions with Lynne Casey about expanding and increasing the presence of psychology and SA APS psychologists in the media. There are some fantastic professionals doing amazing work, but better communication and branding as being undertaken by APS psychologists is needed. This is an issue for all SA members and we would like the Branch to continue these discussions further with EOIs to members, media training, APS guideline orientation, and local coordination. The APS College of Clinical Psychologists will convene the 2012 National Clinical Psychology Conference at the Sheraton on the Park, 161 Elizabeth Street, Sydney from Friday 29 June to Sunday 1 July.

Peter spent 37 years working as the Deputy Registrar and then the Registrar and CEO of the SA Psychological Board. In these roles he was instrumental in advancing the status of the profession of Psychology within South Australia and Australia. Peter played a key role in establishment of the Council of Registration Boards of Australia and NZ, providing sound advice to the successive Boards and the Government during the years the SA Psychological Practices Act was in force. He was also a very influential and highly respected member of the Council of Psychologists Registration Boards of Australasia (CPRB) and he was its longest-serving member. He maintained the archive of all relevant national policies and initiatives for CPRB prior to the National Scheme. Peter regularly provided information about the SA Board and responsibilities psychologists had under the Act to trainee psychologists (Masters level and some 4+2). www.groups.psychology.org.au We would like to welcome our new Secretary, Theodora Tsoulakas, whilst our nominated secretary, Diana Reilly, is on leave. We hope to offer on-line registration via the APS Events Calendar in the future, however, in the mean time please register your interest in presentations below to sacedpsecretary@gmail.com. He oversaw the development of the SA Guidelines on registration, supervision and professional conduct and practice. He also worked for a number of years on the complex review of the SA Psychological Practices Act 1973, which was overtaken by the move to National Registration. Once the Council of Australian Governments’ decision was made to move to a system of national regulation, Peter’s knowledge and expertise was vital in ensuring the migration of historical information across to AHPRA. Following National Registration, Peter continued working with the Occupational Therapy Board to assist in their transition to national registration. Peter’s knowledge and grasp of issues pertaining to the psychology profession in SA was extraordinary. His work role managing five regulatory boards involved long working hours as Boards and subcommittees met in the evenings. His unwavering contribution to the running of the Board was deeply appreciated by all members and he is greatly missed by his colleagues. Angela Davis, with contributions from former South Australian Board members 15
