This year, we’re raising the bar - get ready for an unforgettable experience!
AAPi’s 2026 National Conference is set to be our most exciting yet, a truly one-of-a-kind event.
Set on the beautiful Gold Coast with a relaxed, resort-style atmosphere, this year's conference combines a high-quality academic program with a range of optional activities, creating space not only for learning, but also for connection, reflection, and genuine time to unwind.
At its core, the AAPi National Conference remains focused on promoting unity, engagement, and excellence in psychological practice across Australia. Grounded in AAPi’s values of democracy, unity, and diversity, the conference is designed to foster a dynamic and enriching environment for professional growth and knowledge sharing.
The 2026 program features a mix of interactive sessions, expert-led presentations, and opportunities for peer-to-peer connection, with up to 22 CPD hours available. Attendees will gain insights from leaders in the field, engage in meaningful discussions, and reflect on their own professional experiences, benefiting from the rich diversity of psychology practice across Australia.
While the focus is on advancing knowledge and practice, there will also be plenty of opportunity to step back, recharge, and enjoy the unique setting. This year, we’ve chosen a venue that invites you to relax and recharge, while our program and curated activities create the perfect balance of professional growth and meaningful social connections - offering opportunities to learn, network, and unwind in a stunning setting.
Join a conference that celebrates the rich diversity of psychology in Australia and fosters a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where every voice is valued and represented.
AAPi looks forward to welcoming you to the Gold Coast in 2026 for what promises to be a truly memorable and rewarding experience!
