Find a Psychologist Service – A smart business decision
Dear APS Colleague
This year the APS will expand the reach and appeal of the Find a Psychologist Service to make it the definitive source for
psychologists in private practice.
The Find a Psychologist listing will be expanded to include around 8,500 APS member psychologists. This non-paid
component of the listing will provide practice location and contact phone numbers. It will searchable by location only. Our
premium subscriber Find a Psychologist members will benefit from the expanded reach of this part of the listing and will
be given business-driving priority in search results. They will also be exclusively searchable by issue and many other criteria.
Search results will detail premium subscribers’ expertise and will directly link to websites and practice details, providing
valuable business results for our subscribers.
Publicity about the Find a Psychologist Service will be enhanced by direct promotion to GPs, Primary Health Networks
(PHNS), allied professions, and the broad public.
You may select up to 20 Client Issues within your area of competence. This year there is provision for you to indicate
whether you are an approved provider by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), there are two new Client Issues “Trichotillomania” and “Genetic counselling”, and an additional therapeutic approach, “Schema therapy”.
You are eligible to be listed with the service if you are an APS Honorary Fellow, Fellow, Member or Associate Member; hold
general psychologist registration with the Psychology Board of Australia; and offer private psychology services in Australia.
The Find a Psychologist Service fee for this year has been set at $188 (including $17.09 GST).
