  • The APS recognises long-standing members by issuing commemorative certificates to acknowledge members’ commitment to the APS over a sustained period of time. This year, 1,192 members reached the milestone of 10, 20, 30 or 40 years of cumulative APS membership. The APS believes it is important to recognise cumulative membership rather than just continuous membership, which then includes those long-standing members whose APS membership may have been interrupted through overseas travel, illness, parental leave or moving away from and back to the profession of psychology.

    Members who achieve the milestone of 50 years membership will be awarded Life Member status of the APS and sent a 50 year certificate in May. A list of this year’s Life Members will appear in the June edition of InPsych. If you believe you should have received a 10, 20, 30 or 40 year certificate this year, please contact Kylie Graham in the Membership Team at [email protected]
