What is psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of human thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It helps us understand how people learn, develop, and respond to their surroundings. Psychologists explore areas like memory, motivation, relationships, and mental health. In Australia, psychology is a regulated health profession, which means practitioners must meet strict standards set by AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). Its scope includes clinical psychology, child psychology, health psychology, and more, all designed to improve wellbeing and daily functioning.
