There are more psychologists needed in rural communities. However, rural psychology work can be unique and challenging, impacting recruitment and retention efforts. To better support and develop the rural psychology workforce in Australia, this study aimed to develop a model of rural psychology practice. Consumer surveys across Australia, as well as qualitative interviews with rural psychologists were conducted, and synthesised with relevant rural psychology literature, to create an in initial model of practice. A two-round Delphi survey was then conducted with Australian psychologists experienced in rural practice. The resulting validated model includes nine domains of competence and accompanying skills, unique to rural psychologists. The findings highlight the importance of defining the rural psychology profession, similar to rural generalists in other health fields, to better meet the mental health needs of rural Australia. The utility of the model, supported by Delphi participants feedback, will be discussed.
