The Australian Psychological Society (APS) is the national assessing authority in Australia for assessment of overseas academic qualifications in psychology for the purpose of migration. For a fee, the APS determines the level at which an applicant’s qualifications are equivalent to an Australian programme of study that has been accredited by the Society.

For full details and to download an application form, please see Assessing Psychology Qualifications under 'Membership'. 

 

The assessment service is for people who are seeking to:

  • Migrate to Australia under the General Skilled Migration Categories;
  • Register or work as a psychologist in Australia; or
  • Enter accredited psychology courses in Australian universities.

Information for overseas applicants
The Australian Government has nominated the APS as the assessing body for overseas psychologists applying for migration to Australia under the General Skilled Migration categories. This means the Society is the only body in Australia that can assess psychology qualifications for migration to Australia under these categories.
