I am delighted to welcome you to the official website for the 47th Annual Australian Psychological Society Conference to be held in Perth, the Western Australian capital, from 27 - 30 September 2012. We look forward to hosting this year's APS Conference and sharing the delights of our wonderful city and State with you. The conference venue will be the Convention Centre which is conveniently situated between the Swan River and the City, right on the edge of the central city area with easy road, rail, bus and ferry access.
Perth is a beautiful city, well planned, easy to negotiate, and full of life. Kings Park and the paths around the shores of the Swan River provide wonderful venues for walking or cycling, a picnic, or simply contemplating life and nature. Perth, Fremantle and Subiaco have vibrant cultures of shopping, bars, cafes and restaurants, and are excellent locations to eat out with friends and colleagues when you are not visiting our galleries and museums.
Attending the conference is also a wonderful opportunity to explore the unique natural beauty, culture and heritage of Western Australia, as Perth is the gateway to world renowned destinations such as the South West coast’s Margaret River wine region, white beaches and emerald forests; the historical mining towns in the Goldfields; the compelling and unusual landscapes of the Kimberley region and Karijini National Park and the pristine underwater scenery at Coral Bay and the Ningaloo Reef.
We look forward to seeing you here.
Professor Alfred Allan FAPS
Chair of the Scientific Committee of the 47th Annual APS Conference
