I have 20 years experience as a clinical psychologist in academic, private practice, educational and hospital settings. I currently hold the position of Associate Professor of Psychology at La Trobe University, where I teach into all postgraduate psychology programs. Prior to this, I worked in the postgraduate teaching team at Victoria University, a position which included director of the internal training clinic.

As well as working in academic settings, I also operate a private practice working with children and adolescents, and am the convener of the APS Psychology and the Performing Arts and Entertainment Industry Interest Group. This is an area of personal, research and professional interest.

Sally-Anne McCormack is a Clinical Psychologist and founder of ANTSA, an Australian-built digital mental health system designed to strengthen governance and visibility between sessions. With more than 20 years of clinical experience and an earlier career in education, she brings a grounded, practice-based perspective to the use of technology in psychology.

She developed ANTSA in response to the growing governance gap created by unsupervised consumer AI tools. The system integrates telehealth, psychometrics, AI-assisted documentation, and practitioner-governed conversational AI, giving psychologists visibility of between-session activity while keeping them firmly in the loop. ANTSA is designed to support, not replace, clinical judgement.

A long-standing APS member, Sally-Anne contributes to national discussions on ethical digital practice and clinician-led innovation in mental health.
