In September 2021 a small group of dedicated School Counsellors and Psychologists formed APACS-South Eastern Australia (SEA). This occurred in order to meet an unmet need in NSW, Victoria and the ACT for a unified professional association connected to our colleagues across Australia through APACS.

​

APACS-SEA facilitates vision and voice to professionals who provide mental health, wellbeing and learning support to children and young people in educational settings. We do this by providing our membership with a unifying forum and advocacy, professional development, professional partnerships, quality scholarship and access to resources specific to the educational context.

​

• VISION: To guide and support our profession.

• VOICE: Advocacy and promotion for the profession of psychological and counselling services in schools.

• CONNECTION: To unify and link our profession: to each other, to our colleagues across the nation and to the international school psychology and counselling community and other likeminded organisations.

• SCHOLARSHIP: To provide opportunity, development and recognition of scholarship which is occurring in our profession.

​

APACS SEA directly supports and advocates the interest of school psychologists, counsellors, guidance officers or other student welfare roles in NSW, Victoria or the ACT.
