Welcome to the new Melbourne Branch website!

The Melbourne Branch of the APS, previously the Victorian Branch, has been one of the most active branches of the APS for over 25 years. We currently represent 4,100 APS members within Melbourne and its surrounds. We are vitally engaged in the ongoing professional development of our members and represent their interests to other bodies within and outside the field of psychology.
