Australian Psychosis Conference 2025
The Australian Psychosis Conference (APC), formerly known as the Australasian Schizophrenia Conference (ASC), is Australia’s premier national forum dedicated to the exchange of ideas and presentation of cutting-edge research.
Last held in Sydney in 2023, the conference covers a broad spectrum of topics, including the latest international research, advancements in training and education, innovations in clinical practice and service delivery, and the perspectives of individuals with lived experience.
