This book is excellent at breaking down and explaining the ethical principles of psychology in Australia.
Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of ethical practice - relationships with clients, mandatory reporting, informed consent, multiple clients etc. - and includes case studies for each type of ethical dilemma.
The textbook is great at teaching students how to approach any type of ethical dilemma they may encounter as a psychologist, and provides a good example of a decision making model to aid in making such decisions. Excellent overview of psychology ethics in Australia.

This book is excellent and is a must have for not only NPE prep but for every psychologist at any stage in their career. This should be by your side during your practice as a psychologist. Also was an enjoyable read for ethics, very easy read with great vignettes.
