The Australasian Society for Psychiatric Research (ASPR) is a national peak body for psychiatric and mental health research in Australia and New Zealand.

It includes researchers from a range of disciplines (including psychiatrists, psychologists, statisticians, epidemiologists, neuroscientists, geneticists, social scientists, mental health nurses, health economists) and provides them with an opportunity to come together to report on their most recent work, to stay abreast of developments in their own and related fields, to strengthen old collaborations and to develop new ones.
