Information presented in the report includes an overview of the number of psychologists, their demographic and work characteristics and supply; their main clients; and trends in the number of students completing undergraduate psychology courses. Registration numbers are used to show recent growth in the profession.The report then provides a profile of employed psychologists in each surveyed state and territory.
