The APS has a longstanding commitment to working in culturally responsive and safe ways with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and colleagues. In 1973, the Working Party on Aboriginal Issues was established and APS members become involved in research via the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies. It is only since the 1990s that progress was slowly made in translating our commitment into actual steps toward changing psychology in Australia and engaging in reconciliation.
