Common questions
How does ANZAPPL differ from a national body like AP-LS in the US?+
ANZAPPL serves as the shared professional home for practitioners across two countries and multiple disciplines, psychiatry, psychology and law together, rather than being limited to a single profession or a single national body focused mainly on psychology.
Why would a forensic psychologist join a body like ANZAPPL?+
Membership gives access to regional continuing education, conferences, and practice guidance specific to the Australian and New Zealand legal and mental health systems, which national or purely psychological associations in other countries do not cover.
