AI and psychological practice

When:  Jul 22, 2026 from 19:00 to 20:00 (AEDT)

AI is everywhere right now - but how do you know what's actually useful, what's safe, and what's just hype? This session cuts through the noise and gives psychologists the knowledge to evaluate, choose, and use AI tools confidently and ethically in their own practice. Designed for psychologists at all career stages who are curious about AI, already experimenting, or wondering whether it has a real place in their practice. No product recommendations, no shortcuts - just the framework you need to make smart decisions yourself. 

Key concepts covered 

  •  What AI tools can and can't do realistically in a psychological practice context 
  • The questions you should be asking before adopting any AI tool - clinical, ethical, and practical 
  • What good AI-assisted report writing actually looks like - and the criteria for evaluating any tool that claims to help 
  • Confidentiality, privacy, and AHPRA considerations you need to have covered first 
  • How to build a workflow that saves real time without compromising your clinical standards 
  • How AI can support a more sustainable, manageable practice - and what to look for when exploring your options 


Key takeaways 

  • A personal framework for evaluating any AI tool against your own practice needs 
  • Confidence to move beyond dabbling and make intentional, informed decisions about AI 
  • A clearer sense of what good AI integration looks like - and the right questions to ask to find it.
