The Australian College of Applied Psychology (ACAP) is a private higher education institution. Established in 1983, it specializes in psychology, counseling, and social work programs. ACAP operates as a registered training organization (RTO) and is accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). Unlike public universities, it is independently funded and focuses on vocational and applied learning. ACAP offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses, with a strong emphasis on practical skills and industry relevance. While it collaborates with public institutions, it remains a private provider under the ownership of Navitas, a global education group.
