VPA members get automatic professional indemnity insurance for psychologists — covering private practice, telehealth, AHPRA notifications, and more. Your cover is active from the moment you join, with no extra sign-up required. Find out what’s included.
We are excited to announce the introduction of discounted membership rates for early career workers. These new rates are specifically designed to support members in those critical first four years post-qualification, as you enter your chosen profession.
When you join the Union, your membership includes Professional Indemnity Insurance cover. It’s coverage that’s approved by professional and registration bodies and gives you peace of mind knowing that you’re fully insured in accordance with your profession’s requirements.
You’re not on your own when faced with issues in your workplace. The Union is by your side to give advice and support on workplace matters that come up. We can give you all the facts about your entitlements, pay and key matters like parental leave, flexible work arrangements, career progression and professional development.
From the time the Union was first inaugurated in July, 1981, we have always put members at the centre of everything we do. We take pride in our Union, our members and the vital roles our members play in delivering world-class healthcare to Victorians. Our Union succeeds through our members and seven values.
When starting out in your career, ensuring you have the right coverage can be stressful, that’s why we’ve taken the stress out by making sure you get the coverage you need. Our Union understands the pressures faced by members and the requirement to be insured so you can get registration to practice.
Membership means you have access to legal services designed to make life easier. Life can sometimes throw us lemons and it’s not always easy to make lemonade from them, especially when they involve legal issues. You can get a referral for a range of legal services with Slater and Gordon because of our partnership with them.
When you join the Union, you join a community of health professionals who actively work toward improving the wages and conditions for you and your colleagues to ensure those who rely on the healthcare you provide continue to get the very best. Every day, the Union protects your salary and working conditions.
