A Victorian man who posed as a registered psychologist and treated two young siblings has been fined $15,000 for the scam. The counsellor has a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Masters in counselling, but was never registered to practise as a psychologist. He pleaded guilty to three charges in the Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on May 30 for treating the patients for nearly four months and was fined $15,000, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency said in a statement on Thursday.
