Australian Psychological Society (APS) Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Please note: All presentations and workshops at the ICAP 2010 have been endorsed for APS generalist CPD points*. For activities which do not show specialist endorsement by the relevant APS College, members themselves are responsible for deciding whether an activity qualifies for specialist points or not. The APS PD Information Guide, available from the APS website, provides useful information about college criteria for qualifying CPD activities which can assist. Members are reminded to retain evidence of the content of any such activities in case of an audit.

*after the introduction of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme, CPD points will be replaced by a system of counting CPD hours.

Emerging Scholars Program and Prize

We would like to announce that there will be an Emerging Scholars program at ICAP 2010 aimed at students of Psychology. This program aims to encourage and acknowledge emerging scholars who make independent submissions for Open Papers to the conference. Students of PhD, Doctorate and Masters programs in Psychology are invited to submit Open Papers for consideration of inclusion in the Emerging Scholars program by indicating their student status under the themes section in the submission process (i.e., indicate "Student Division"). Abstracts will be judged on their significance to applied psychology, innovation, scientific quality of method and contribution to theoretical advancement. Those students who are invited to present their Open Paper as a part of the Emerging Scholars program will receive a certificate of acknowledgement and the two students who are deemed to have demonstrated particular excellence in the quality of their presentation will be further acknowledged and receive a prize at the conclusion of the conference.
