Clinical Member FAQ
Q: How many supervision and opd hours do I need if I joined or upgraded mid year?
If you joined or upgraded to a Clinical Member mid year you are required to complete the pro-rata equivalent.
- OPD requirements = 1.5 hours per month of Clinical Membership
- Supervision requirements = 50 minutes per month of Clinical Membership
Q: What if I have not accrued enough supervision or opd hours to upgrade my membership by 30 June?
If you have not accrued enough supervision or opd hours you can request a two month extention to complete the requirements. The ABNLP will approve only one extention every three years. Clinical Members are still required to fulfill the requirements the next year. If you do not complete the requirements within two months your membership will be downgraded to Certified Member and you will be able to upgrade at the time of your next renewal (30 June).
Working example: Jane applies for and is granted a two month extention (until 31 August), she completes her requirements within two months and retains her status as a Clinical Member. She then needs to complete 10 hours of Supervision and 16 hours of OPD between 1 September and 30 June.
