Psychology Week

Psychology shapes daily life more than most people realise. Psychology Week is one week to celebrate it together, hosting events, connecting with colleagues, and sharing the work that makes a difference.

This year’s theme, Psychology in action: how psychology changes lives, shines a light on the difference psychologists make every day, and helps more people understand the role psychologists have in improving lives across Australia.

The week closes with a new highlight: the 2026 APS Awards will be announced for the first time during Psychology Week, recognising the psychologists and initiatives making the biggest difference across the country.
