The APS Find a Psychologist service provides a referral to help you find a psychologist to suit your needs. Referrals are drawn from our database of more than 2,600 APS registered psychologists around Australia, covering every state and territory.
We provide an online search, a telephone service and an email referral service to the general public, GPs and other health professionals who are seeking the advice and assistance of a qualified and suitable APS psychologist in private practice.
Please note: Psychologists listed on this Find a Psychologist Service do NOT want to receive unsolicited commercial electronic messages. Any psychologist receiving such a message is advised to forward that message to report@submit.spam.acma.gov.au as a spam complaint.
