Psychology graduates key to meeting regional demand

Only 30% of trained psychiatrists and psychologists live in regional areas, which puts extra pressure on services available outside major cities. Federation University Psychology student enrolments have increased by 87% since 2019, which could help to address workforce shortages. 

Honours was a massive year and being an online student completing a thesis was a daunting prospect. I’m so appreciative of the incredible support from the faculty and the psych student cohort which made the year such a positive experience for me. "
