Our Well-Being Rooms are designated spaces facilitated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, where you can ground yourself and feel safe at events such as conferences, gatherings or workshops," says The Seedling Group Co-Founder and Kabi Kabi and Australian South Sea Islander psychologist Kelleigh Ryan.

"It's an area where you can come and sit quietly or have a yarn with a trauma-informed therapist, counselors, or support staff to help process information that may be emotionally difficult. It’s a space to engage all of your senses and help bring calmness.”  In the center of the room is a yarning circle, based on the traditional concept of a gathering place, for respectful knowledge sharing or sitting in silence and learning from others. This welcoming space is a place to replenish your spirit, and social, emotional, and physical well-being and ground yourself, while in the company of others. We look forward to meeting you there.

At the APS we are focused on reducing the environmental impact of our events and will not be providing printed programs for future conferences and events. A large copy of the program will be available for viewing at the registration desk.

By reducing our printed collateral at this event, we hope to not only reduce our carbon footprint, but also to set an example to all attendees, sponsors and other important stakeholders.

This is just the first step in an important journey to reduce the environmental impact of these events. We invite you to join us in our efforts by providing your feedback and sharing ideas for other ways we can go green.

Catering will be provided each day in the conference exhibition area. We suggest bringing a water bottle, but tea and coffee will be available during breaks.

If you have indicated that you have special dietary requirements during registration, please speak to a venue staff member onsite. All attempts will be made to meet your requests.

It is up to individual psychologists to assess how CPD events meet the requirements of their individual learning plan. If audited by the PsyBA, psychologists must be able to justify selection of particular CPD activities according to their individual learning needs. 

Further information on calculating your CPD hours can be found on the APS website.
