ROLE OF THE EMPLOYER
All psychotherapists must hold a current Annual Practising Certificate (APC) to legally practise. If your employee is unable to produce their current APC then check the Board register https://secure.pbanz.org.nz/index.php?PublicRegister or call the Board to check on their status 04 9184727. If an employee works part-time or only a few hours a week, they must still hold a current APC. A current APC should be sighted on employment. The psychotherapists APC year runs from 1 October to 30 September. If your employee is practising without an APC they place themselves and you at risk. For example, if they treat ACC clients whilst not holding a current APC then ACC may ask you to return the funds claimed during the period of time your employee practised without a current APC. Furthermore, the psychotherapist may not be covered by their insurance.
