Practicum training is an integral part of postgraduate organisational psychology training in Australia, yet little is known about the experience of students. This research surveyed current (N = 88) and past (N = 58) students of 10 Australian postgraduate organisational psychology programs. First, we examined the type of practicum activities undertaken; second, we examined attitudes to payment for practicum training; third, we explored determinants of practicum satisfaction and successful preparation for work as an organisational psychologist; and finally, we examined the relationship between practicum training and employment. The findings showed that the most common practicum training areas were selection, training, vocational counselling and performance management. About half of current and past students had been paid for practicum work and most believed they should be paid. For both groups of students, practicum satisfaction was associated with having their work preferences matched and the learning of new skills during practicum training. Other determinants of practicum satisfaction were being involved in the choice of work (current students) and supervisor feedback (past students). For the majority of ex-students practicum led to their current employement as an organisational psychologist. The practical and research implications of these findings are discussed
