to be registed with the APA
- 4 years of undergrad study (i.e. 3 years + 1 year honours)
- 2 years postgrad study
- i think it was 2-3 years of practice before getting into the APA??

i major in psych. its not too hard if you put some effort in. i do it through arts. But yes you will need to transfer after 3rd year into honours which is required if you want to be registered (no matter the uni in australia)

I'm assuming you mean APS? (APA is American)
But to be a full member of the APS you just need the six year sequence (ie. 4 years undergrad + 2 postgrad), or to be an associate member you just need the 4 year undergrad.
And while in most cases you need honours, there are alternatives, eg. graduate diplomas.

Registration as a PsychologistIn order to become a member of the professional body, the Australian Psychological Society (APS), and for registration as a psychologist in New South Wales, students first need a university bachelor degree which includes four years of approved training in psychology. The BPsychol degree provides four years of approved training in psychology. Students must also follow this by completing an accredited 5th and 6th year academic degree such as one of the Master of Psychology Degrees (Clinical, Forensic, Organisational) or a combined Doctor of Philosophy/Master of Psychology Degree as offered by this University. An alternative of two years of supervised experience in professional practice may be undertaken for registration as a psychologist in NSW.
