The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Australia (ACTAUS) website is devoted to providing Australian practitioners with a free and reliable source of information about ACCEPTANCE and COMMITMENT THERAPY and its practice in Australia.


We are dedicated to building a community of ACT practitioners in Australia and assisting them in their ongoing professional development and networking.


WHAT IS ACT?


Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence based model of behavioural treatment that emphasises acceptance of internal experience while maintaining a focus on positive behaviour change and psychological flexibility. This approach is designed to address maladaptive avoidance of internal experiences associated with many problems in functioning while also focusing on making and keeping commitments.


ACT uses a variety of verbal, experiential and homework techniques to help patients make experiential contact with previously avoided private events (thoughts, feelings, sensations), without excessive verbal involvement and control – and to make powerful life enhancing choices.

In this site you will find information on training and professional development opportunities, links to interest groups and articles as well as other websites across the globe.

If you have information about 'ACT'ivities in Australia and you would like to promote them please let us know, we would be happy to assist.


If you would like to discuss including ACT in your therapeutic approaches please call us or email
