AUSPY

Introduction

As a society of individual professionals, The Australian Society of Psychotherapy, upholds an expectation that its leaders and members will commit to the harmony of these values with their behaviours, recognising that these are not situational, but a hallmark and foundation on which the society and its work is known and secured.

Professionalism

We are committed to upholding standards of professional practice and development through continued education and learning.
We are committed to the continual improvement of training and education in all areas of psychotherapy to raise community and collegiate awareness of the varying psychotherapies, each as a professional and accountable health modality.

Accountability

We are committed to taking responsibility for our decisions, actions, and behaviours. We will be both individually and collectively accountable.

Integrity

We are committed to shared governance and being transparent in our actions and decision-making.
We are committed to working in harmony with other such associations and supporting any recognised by the majority of our profession.

Respect

We are committed to being inclusive, courteous, and culturally safe.

We’re committed to learning and changing.

As the Australian Society of Psychotherapy grows, matures, and takes its place among the bigger, more established associations, we expect that our core values will also grow and mature. We’re committed to this as an organisation and will always look for ways to do things differently and better, and we’ll do this while serving our members with integrity.
