APS Involvement

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) is the peak body for psychologists in Australia and represents over 27,000 members. As a full member since 1998, Andrew values what the APS can do for the profession of psychology, for psychologists and the wider public.

From March 2015 to February 2019, Andrew was the Victorian Representative for the Division of Professional Psychology (then known as the Division of General Psychological Practice (DGPP)), the area that the majority of APS psychologists belong to. He was one of three recipients for the APS DGPP Significant Contribution Award 2019 (see below for the profile printed in the APS InPsych June/July 2020 issue).

In June 2020, Andrew relaunched the APS Psychology of Diverse Bodies, Genders and Sexualities Interest Group as Group Convenor after 4 years of dormancy.

In October 2020-November 2023, Andrew served on the APS Board of Directors as a General Director, including a term on the Board’s Governance and Risk Committee.. Information about the current APS Board of Directions can be found here.

In November 2023, Andrew was appointed Acting-Secretary of the e-Psychology Interest Group; the Victorian Representative for the Christianity and Psychology Interest Group; and a general committee member of the APS Psychology of Diverse Bodies, Genders and Sexualities Interest Group. In March 2024, Andrew was appointed the Acting-Secretary of the Christianity and Psychology Interest Group.
