EMDR ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA
Working to progress the standing of EMDR therapy
The EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA) is a professional association where EMDR practitioners and researchers set standards for the clinical use of EMDR therapy for its members. EMDR is designated as an effective treatment by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Australian Phoenix Australia – Centre for Post-traumatic Mental Health, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and many other international health agencies. This powerful psychotherapy approach has helped over an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress. This website provides information to the greater EMDR community including clinicians, researchers, and the public that our members serve.

UPCOMING EVENTS
EMDRAA Conference 2025
The 2025 EMDRAA Conference in Adelaide was a vibrant, inspiring gathering that brought together mental health practitioners, researchers, and EMDR professionals from across Australia and beyond.
Across the keynote, workshop, panels and symposiums, and networking events, attendees explored innovations in trauma therapy, refined their clinical techniques, and reconnected with the heart of their work.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our keynote speaker, Dr Suzy Matthijssen, for traveling to Australia, our presenters, attendees, volunteers, and committee members. Your contributions made this conference a powerful reflection of who we are and where we’re headed as an association.
