National Psychology Supervision Conference 2027
About the Conference
Bringing together Australia's psychology supervision community to share knowledge, strengthen practice and shape the future.
Why NPSC?
Supervision Deserves Its Own National Conversation
Supervision plays a central role in the psychology profession. It supports the development of new psychologists, strengthens professional competence and provides an important space for reflection, learning and accountability throughout a psychologist's career.
Despite its importance, opportunities to come together specifically to examine the research and practice of psychology supervision have been limited.
The National Psychology Supervision Conference has been established to provide a dedicated forum for supervisors, researchers, educators and practitioners from across Australia.
It is an opportunity to exchange ideas, consider new evidence, share practical approaches and build connections across the profession.
Our Conference Theme
Setting the Standard:
Leading the Way
Effective supervision requires more than experience alone. It draws on evidence, professional judgement, reflective practice and a willingness to keep learning.
Our 2027 theme reflects both the responsibility supervisors carry and the opportunities ahead for our profession.
Strengthening Standards
Exploring the evidence, competencies and professional responsibilities that underpin effective supervision.
Advancing Practice
Sharing practical approaches, research and innovations that support supervisor development and better professional learning.
Leading the Future
Considering how supervision can respond thoughtfully to changing professional expectations, emerging technologies and evolving models of practice.
Our Story
Celebrating 21 Years of STAP
The National Psychology Supervision Conference is organised by STAP, a longstanding provider of psychology supervisor training in Australia.
Supporting the training and development of psychology supervisors.
In 2027, STAP celebrates 21 years of contributing to psychology supervisor education.
This milestone provides an opportunity not only to reflect on the development of supervision over the past two decades, but also to look ahead.
NPSC builds on that history while creating a broader national forum for the people, research and ideas shaping psychology supervision.
