FAQs

Why does informed consent wording matter more in 2025?

The Psychology Board of Australia updated its Code of Conduct effective December 2025, with clearer expectations around consent, privacy, telehealth, records, and digital-tool disclosure. Many private-practice psychologists will need to refresh their intake pack wording.

Do I still need a separate cancellation policy?

Usually yes. The informed consent form should explain that fees and cancellation terms are disclosed before treatment begins, but the detailed cancellation wording normally sits in a separate policy or service agreement.

Should I include telehealth wording even if I mostly work in person?

If you ever run telehealth sessions, include a short telehealth section. It covers platform privacy, recording, location at the start of each session, and what happens if the connection drops or there is a safety concern. The generator lets you toggle that section on or off.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is practical starting copy only. Final wording should be checked against the 2025 PsyBA Code of Conduct, current APS guidance, your indemnity provider, and any funding-body requirements that apply to your practice.
