Australian Psychological Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) is a professional association set up to represent psychologists in Australia. The APS has more than 15,000 members, making it the largest professional body representing psychologists in Australia. [1]. It establishes a Code of Ethics which APS members must abide[2], and a recommendation of appropriate fees charged for services [3].

[edit] Membership

Membership of the APS at its higher levels is restricted to psychologists who have completed APAC approved postgraduate study, though student subscribership is available to anyone completing a regonised undergraduate psychology degree which grants Associate Membership (Assoc MAPS). Around 60% of all state registered psychologists are APS members, and student subscribers represent 12% of members. Of this, the gender breakdown by members is 74% female, and 26% male.[4]
