Australian Psychosis Conference 2025 Speakers

29th – 30th July 2025

The Australian Psychosis Conference (APC) offers a holistic exploration of the factors influencing psychosis, from biological and psychological dimensions to social and systemic perspectives. The event delves into causes, treatments, recovery, and the process of meaning-making, creating a space for critical discussions and collaboration. Key themes include prevention, early detection, healthcare, social support, and lived experience, making it a must-attend for professionals, people with lived experience, and other key stakeholders.

In 2025, our speakers will focus on four core areas:

  • Policy & Systems
  • Social Determinants & Human Rights
  • Clinical Research & Treatments
  • Perspectives & Narratives

Join us to connect, learn, and contribute to advancing psychosis research and practice.

We are delighted to announce that Stephen Fry will open our 2025 Conference.

Stephen is a renowned English author, actor, screenwriter, playwright, journalist, poet, comedian, television presenter, broadcaster, podcaster, and film director.

A proud advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, Stephen has been championing the community for over 30 years, including his award-winning documentary Out There, which explores the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people worldwide.
