Australasian Psychiatry (AP)

Australasian Psychiatry is a prominent bimonthly medical journal dedicated to advancing psychiatric knowledge, clinical excellence and scholarly discourse within Australia, New Zealand and the international mental health community. Established in 1991 and published by SAGE Publications on behalf of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP), the journal serves as a forum for rigorous research and thoughtful commentary on subjects that shape contemporary psychiatric practice and policy. It publishes a rich mix of original research, systematic reviews and clinically relevant reports that address a wide spectrum of mental health issues — from diagnosis, treatment and outcomes to service innovation, ethics and training. With contributions from clinician‑researchers, educators and thought leaders, the journal fosters an evidence‑informed culture that bridges scientific inquiry with the practical realities of psychiatric care. By emphasizing relevance to clinical practice and professional advancement, Australasian Psychiatry supports the ongoing education of psychiatrists and allied professionals, encourages reflective debate on complex mental health challenges, and informs improvements in mental health services across diverse populations. Its commitment to quality scholarship, inclusive perspectives and real‑world applicability makes it a key resource for practitioners and academics alike.
