What is TSPA?

The Tasmanian School Psychology Association (TSPA) is a branch of the Australian Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools Association (APACS). TSPA was formed in 2012, having previously been the Tasmanian chapter of the Australian Guidance and Counselling Association.

Tasmania School Psychology Association (TSPA) is a group of passionate volunteers with one shared goal: “How can we best support fellow school psychologists, counsellors, and clinicians across Tasmania in the year ahead?”
