Common questions

Who is this for?

Provisional psychologists preparing for the AHPRA OSCE, Master of Professional Psychology students approaching their competency exams, and internationally qualified psychologists working toward Australian registration. Clinicians refreshing their DDx skills also find the Master Reference useful.

How long do I have access?

12 months from the date of purchase. If you need more time, a reduced renewal price is available.

Is this affiliated with AHPRA or any university?

No. This is an independent educational resource created by a registered psychologist. It does not constitute official exam guidance. The Psychology Board of Australia's own materials remain the authoritative source for exam requirements.

What format are the materials in?

Structured HTML pages you can read online, an interactive quiz tool, and graded checkpoints throughout the staged course. You can study on any device. All materials are available from the day of purchase.

GST and invoicing?

All prices are in Australian Dollars and include GST. A tax invoice is issued automatically after purchase and emailed to the address you provide at checkout.

Refund policy?

14-day refund if fewer than 20% of materials accessed. If the program is not right for you, email info@mindspan.com.au within 14 days of purchase and we will refund in full. Access is revoked on refund.

Can I prepare for both the OSCE and the NPE?

Yes — many candidates sit both exams in the same registration cycle. The OSCE and NPE overlap across assessment, ethics, and intervention, and the two programs are designed to be used together for integrated coverage. A combined OSCE + NPE option is planned for launch.
