Sharing another look at our newest Subject for Change episode with Camelia, Elise and Andrea.

🧠✨ World Mental Health Day 2025 ✨🧠

Today, we’re celebrating the importance of caring for our own mental health, because psychologists need self-care too. 💛

We asked members of the CEDP National Committee to share their best (and sometimes most chaotic!) self-care tips. From mindfulness moments to spontaneous beach walks, it’s a reminder that wellbeing doesn’t have to look perfect, it just has to be yours.

Take a moment today to pause, reflect, and recharge in whatever way feels right for you.

📣 Educational & Developmental Psychologists are essential to the NDIS.

The APS College of Educational and Developmental Psychologists (CEDP) continues to advocate for fair recognition of all psychologists within the NDIS.
We’re actively collaborating across APS Colleges and advocacy bodies to highlight our unique expertise in assessment, intervention, and capacity building, and to ensure Ed & Dev Psychologists are not overlooked in policy and pricing reforms.

From clarifying our diagnostic scope to contributing to national consultation processes, the College is committed to protecting your scope, promoting your contribution, and amplifying your voice.

Our work matters and your impact deserves to be recognised.

✨ New PD Exploring Court Matters ✨

Developmentally complex children and families in Children’s and Family Court matters are a highly vulnerable population.

Each family system carries unique layers of complexity that can be difficult to disentangle, making it challenging to identify and provide the most effective supports for both children and caregivers.

Often, these circumstances are shaped by an interwoven history of intergenerational and social issues, which necessitates a sensitive, comprehensive assessment process and a considered and collaborative therapeutic approach..

A massive thank you to Stephanie Lau and the CEDP - Victorian Branch for putting this webinar together.

As Psychology Week 2025 draws to a close, and amid recent changes within the APS, we reaffirm our vision for the future of Educational and Developmental Psychology in Australia.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to a profession that is collaborative, future-focused, and deeply human. Our vision will be realised through sustained advocacy, rigorous research, responsive training, and an unwavering belief that all people can learn and grow, when the environment around them is designed to support their development.

We will continue to lead with evidence, collaborate across disciplines and systems, and stay grounded in the lives of the children, families, and communities we serve.

Educational and Developmental Psychology: Understanding development. Supporting learning. Enabling potential: across the lifespan, across Australia.

Our Story

Australian Psychological Society College of Educational and Developmental Psychologists

What is Educational and Developmental Psychology?

Educational and Developmental Psychology is concerned with wellbeing across the lifespan, in particular, the development and learning of people throughout their lives. To this end, Educational and Developmental Psychologists work in a wide range of research and practice settings and may have one of many different titles, such as school psychologist, guidance officer, disability services officer, child and adolescent counsellor, and geropsychologist. Within these settings, Educational and Developmental Psychologists may work with individuals, couples, groups, organisations, or systems. In educational settings, Educational and Developmental Psychologists are centrally placed to identify and assist people with mental health and other psychological issues including learning difficulties. Wherever possible, early identification and intervention is essential for the treatment of mental health disorders.
