The four NPE examination domains

The Psychology Board of Australia’s National Psychology Examination tests across four domains measuring eight competencies. Every material maps to this official structure.

Domain 1 · Ethics· 3 materials

The National Law, Code of Ethics, mandatory reporting, and professional judgment — in exam-applicable form.

Domain 2 · Assessment· 5 materials

The six core tests, wider test battery, MSE, risk, common presentations, and formulation.

Domain 3 · Interventions· 4 materials

Evidence-based models, micro-skills, pharmacology foundations, and specific techniques by problem type.

Domain 4 · Communication· 3 materials

Record keeping, report writing across contexts, and navigating the health-care system.

Every format

Built for how provisional psychologists actually study — around supervision, work, and life.

Read online

Every material opens in an interactive viewer, organised for domain-by-domain revision without passive re-reading.

Download as PDF

Each material exports clean and fully expanded — yours to annotate, print, and keep.

Applied practice questions

Original authored questions across all four domains with worked rationales — calibrated to, not copied from, official sample papers.

Study plan

A structured plan that allocates preparation across domains in proportion to how they are weighted — nothing left to the last week.

The full index — all 26 materials

Every material authored from the AHPRA-public curriculum. Official sample papers are used only as a calibration reference — never republished verbatim.

Framework · 1

NPE Navigator
Start here. The four official examination domains, how the exam tests each, the order to work the library, and the reasoning posture that turns knowledge into marks.

Reference · 1

Master Reference
The whole exam on one page — the high-yield spine across all four domains, the discriminators that decide hard items, and the binding rules that never bend. Built for the final pass.

Domain 1 · Ethics · 3

Legislation & Mandatory Reporting Map
The National Law, privacy and health-records duties, mental-health provisions (involuntary treatment, informed consent), and duty-to-protect / duty-to-report triggers — with the state-by-state variations the exam expects you to navigate.
The Code of Ethics, Applied
The endorsed Code of Ethics and Board guidelines worked through exam-style scenarios — the general principles and standards as decision rules, not abstractions.
Professional Issues, Supervision & Self-Care
Continuing professional development, self-reflection and self-management, and the role of supervision and peer consultation — framed for the way the exam tests professional judgment.

Domain 2 · Assessment · 5

The Six Core Tests
WAIS-IV, WISC-IV, PAI, DASS, K-10 and SDQ — purpose, normative basis, scoring logic, and interpretation cautions for the six tests examined in depth. Structure and reasoning only; no copyrighted item content.
Wider Test Familiarity Grid
Use and purpose of the broader battery — intelligence, memory, personality, vocational and mental-health screening instruments the curriculum expects you to recognise.
Mental State Examination & Risk
A structured MSE and the assessment of acute and chronic risk — suicide, self-harm, and harm to others — at the level a generally registered psychologist is expected to perform.
Common Problems — Essential Features
The curriculum’s named psychological problems summarised at the essential-feature level — referring to the current DSM and ICD as the authoritative diagnostic sources, never reproducing their criteria.
Formulation — Data to Hypotheses
Generating and testing hypotheses to build a dynamic understanding of a presentation — the reasoning the Assessment domain rewards.

Domain 3 · Interventions · 4

Counselling Micro-Skills
Establishing the therapeutic relationship and alliance, active listening, empathic responding, reflection, questioning, summarising, and managing endings.
Evidence-Based Models & When to Use Them
Cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic and interpersonal, family-systems and ecological, and humanistic / narrative / solution-focused approaches — what each is for and when it fits.
Psychopharmacology Foundations
Drug classification and the pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic basics a psychologist needs to collaborate and refer safely — not to prescribe.
Specific Techniques by Problem
Psychoeducation and motivational interviewing, exposure, behavioural activation, relaxation, skills training, and relapse prevention — matched to the common problems in the Assessment domain.

Domain 4 · Communication · 3

Record Keeping that Meets the Standard
Record-keeping that satisfies professional, organisational, ethical, and legislative requirements — the specifics the Communication domain tests.
Report Writing Across Contexts
Writing for different audiences — health professionals, legal and insurance contexts, employers — with the clarity, accuracy, and succinctness expected.
Referral & the Health-Care System
Referral procedures, the roles of other professionals across levels of care, and the health-care system structures a psychologist works within.

Practice · 2

Applied Practice Questions
Original applied multiple-choice questions across all four domains, with worked rationales. Authored items — the official sample papers are used only as a calibration reference, never republished.
Practice Quiz Bank
A wider bank of 24 original applied questions — six per domain — with instant rationales and a domain filter. Drill a weak area, then run all four for an integrated pass.

Applied vignettes · 3

Applied Vignette · Maya — integrated case
A worked case that crosses Assessment, Ethics and Communication — passive ideation, a documentation request, and a custody backdrop. Reveal-on-click reasoning, step by step.
Applied Vignette · Daniel — assessment case
An assessment-centred case pulling in Communication and Ethics — referral clarity, consent in a dual-client context, test security, and an accurate report under pressure.
Applied Vignette · Aanya — intervention case
An intervention-centred case pulling in Assessment and Ethics — formulating the maintaining cycle, justifying an evidence-based approach, working with ambivalence, and the prescribing boundary.

Study planning · 3

NPE Study Plan
A structured plan that allocates your preparation across the four domains in proportion to how they are weighted — so nothing is left to the last week.
4-Week Study Calendar
A daily-blocked four-week plan across the four domains with spaced-repetition review and scheduled mock-question sessions. Each day has a clear, revealable task.
1-Week Intensive
Short on time? A condensed seven-day run-up — high-yield only, a self-marked practice pass, and an exam-eve protocol — for a one-week sprint instead of four.

Media library · 1
