The psychologists featured in these pages come from a variety of settings across Australia and provide diverse services using a broad range of skills. As you read each story you will discover that many of them, as students, did not know which area to specialise in and often took some time before establishing themselves in their chosen fields. If you are still wondering which pathway to follow, this is not unusual, and their experiences may help with your decision.

We hope that reading through this collection of occupations for psychologists will help you to reflect on what you have already achieved and encourage you to see what possibilities lie ahead.
