Are psychologists doctors?

Psychologists in Australia are not medical doctors. They hold university degrees in psychology and are registered with AHPRA as health professionals. While they cannot prescribe medication, they are experts in therapy, mental health assessment, and behaviour change. Psychologists often work closely with doctors and psychiatrists who may prescribe medication when needed. This partnership ensures clients receive comprehensive care that includes both medical and therapeutic support. For therapy-focused mental health care, call us now.
