Understanding Clinical Membership

Clinical Members hold the highest level of membership avaliable within the ABNLP. We are setting our sights on increasing the professionalism and standards of NLP Therapists and Coaches in Australia. To do this, the ABNLP requires annual supervision and professional development hours from our clinical members. These requirements demonstrate to the community and to the public that our Clincal Members are dedicated to their field, their own development and doing what is best for their clients.

Requirements to join at or upgrade to Clinical Member

Clinical Membership is available to anyone who has:

  1. Completed an NLP Master Practitioner Certification course which meets the Minimum NLP Training Requirements,
  2. Has been working with clients as an NLP Therapist or Coach for a minimum of two years and
  3. Holds current professional indemnity and personal liability insurance.

Ongoing Annual Requirements (1 July to 30 June)

Clinical Membership is renewable annually on 30 June. To renew the following requirements must be met:

  1. Completion of 10 hours of Supervision, at least half must be conducted with a Clinical Supervisor or NLP Trainer.
  2. Completion of 16 hours of Ongoing Professional Development (OPD).
  3. Certificate of currency for professional indemnity and personal liability insurance. 

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.
