Ageing Interest Group logoThe APS Psychology and Ageing Interest Group is one of many specialty interest groups to which psychologists who are members of the Australian Psychological Society belong. The Psychology of Ageing Interest group is currently the seventh largest of these interest groups.

Nationally, the Psychology and Ageing Interest Group is dedicated to furthering clinical knowledge, research agendas, teaching and learning initiatives and public policy relating to older adults in Australia. It acts as a mechanism for psychologists all over Australia to stay linked with colleagues who share similar clinical, teaching and research interests.

The Psychology and Ageing Interest Group also operates at State level here in Australia, seeking to bring together psychologists with an interest in ageing and endeavouring to serve as a source of information on ageing issues for local professionals and the wider community within each State. Contact your local State groups for information regarding regular meetings, guest speakers and any special local events of interest (see Member Resources, State Information for details of your local group).
