Welcome to the APS Division of Professional Psychology (DPP).

The DPP is comprised of APS members that have not joined a College and are registered to practice by the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency. All eligible APS members are automatically members of the DPP. The DPP allows members to contribute their experiences, express concerns, give a direct voice and generally work with the APS to address challenges faced. Because of the breadth of psychology as a discipline, there is wide variation in the work, settings, interests, backgrounds and needs across the Division. The name, Division of Professional Psychology, captures this wide range of diversity, experience and competency in the Division.

The DPP Forum is made up of one representative from each State and Territory. The Forum meets regularly online. The Forum is jointly chaired by the President and the CEO to ensure direct communication to and from the APS Board. PsyCommunity allows members to stay up-to-date regarding the activities of the Forum and to keep members informed of its work.

Get in touch! As a APS DPP Member, we encourage you to contact the forum via [email protected], to share your experiences, opinions and information regarding the challenges and joys you face.
