Advocacy

We are focused on community wellbeing and social justice, advocating to governments, stakeholders and the community about the role psychology can play to help improve lives.

To achieve this, we: 

  • Share information about the impact of psychology on public policy for the benefit of all sectors of the community 

  • Are responsive to community needs and advocate for community wellbeing

Discussion papers and reviews

APS discussion papers and reviews outline and explore the psychological evidence around contemporary social issues, such as ageing, racism and gambling.

The Big Issues of the 21st Century

This booklet highlights the evidence-based contributions of psychology to three big issues of the 21st Century: social cohesion, climate change and community wellbeing.

APS Submissions

We make submissions to government departments, formal inquiries, discussion papers, reviews and reports from various external agencies.
