Psychology formally entered the Australian arena via university departments of Philosophy, commencing last century and taking its initial direction largely from Britain. The previous pattern of development of Australian psychology was more distinctive than is its present state. Although the influences of Germany and the United States have supplemented that of the parent country, it is difficult to discern any locally blended colouration in the discipline or the profession as they now appear. Somewhat distanced from the universities, applied psychology has flourished especially in the public sector beginning with the initial close liaison formed between psychology and education in a developing colonial society. The public impact of research and practice is by no means as apparent as in the United States or Britain. After a burgeoning in the 'sixties and early 'seventies, the present state is one of limited growth concurrent with the general recession.
心理学通过哲学系进入澳大利亚学术领域，起始于上个世纪，其最初的发展方向主要来自英国。与现在相比，澳大利亚心理学过去的发展模式更具特色。尽管德国和美国的影响补充了母国的影响，但在该学科或专业中，现在很难看出有任何当地融合的色彩。应用心理学与大学有些距离，尤其在公共部门蓬勃发展，从发展中的殖民地社会中心理学与教育之间最初的密切联系开始。研究和实践的公众影响力远不如美国或英国明显。在 60 年代和 70 年代初期的繁荣之后，目前的情况是与总体经济衰退同时出现的有限增长。
