Welcome from the Conference Chair
On behalf of the Australian Psychological Society, I am delighted to invite delegates to the 44th APS Annual Conference, to be held in Darwin, NT, from 30 September to 4 October, 2009.
The conference will provide a unique insight into the work of psychologists working in the ‘top end' of Australia as well as profile the important role that psychology holds at the cutting edge of research and practice. There will be opportunities for delegates to hear about the work of leading psychologists from the NT, across the nation and internationally, in a program of interactive fora, symposia, keynote addresses, and posters.
The conference will be held on the water's edge at the new Darwin Convention Centre, just a short stroll to Darwin city, the eateries and restaurants of Stokes Hill Wharf, and within easy reach of Doctor's Gully for the famous fish feeding. Cullen Bay, the Crocodylus Park, the Open Air theatre are just some of the man made wonders of Darwin but for those more adventurous, consider adding a day trip to the Tiwi Islands or Litchfield Park on the edge of Kakadu. With more time, you can explore Kakadu by 4-wheel drive or helicopter, visit the famous Katherine Gorge or even stop over in Alice Springs to visit Hermannsburg or Uluru.
A range of accommodation is available with Darwin boasting its newest 5 Star hotels adjacent to the Convention Centre; others are within a 10-15 minute walk, as are restaurants, shops selling Aboriginal art and artefacts, and our famous South Sea Pearls.
I look forward to welcoming you to Darwin.
Professor Kate Moore, Chair of the 2009 Conference
