Australian Psychological Society assessment

*Please note this can take approximately 2 months – if study has been completed in Australia this is not required.*

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) is the national assessing authority in Australia for the assessment of academic qualifications in psychology gained overseas. The APS assesses the level at which an applicant’s qualifications are comparable to an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) sequence of study in psychology. A fee is applicable for this service, which is for people who are seeking to apply for entry into an APAC-accredited course in psychology at an Australian university.

Applicants with an accredited degree from a New Zealand university are exempt from the above requirements.
